		<title>What a day - what a moment.</title>
		<description>Once again this year Gord, Myles and I participated in Run for the Cure. As I mentioned in one of my previous blogs - we participate in support of my co worker, who is also a good friend. She was diagnosed in late 2006. I cannot even begin to tell ...</description>

		<title>Honeycrisp&#8217;s are in season!!!</title>
		<description> Fall is one of our favorite seasons - the reason?? Honeycrisp apples are in season! If you have never tried one - you must. They are just the right combination of sweet and tart - juicy with every bite.

Since Myles was little - we have headed out to Chudleigh's ...</description>

		<title>The Allergy Testing</title>
		<description>We`ve  tried giving Myles peanuts twice (three times if you count when my parents gave it to him and didn`t fess up about it until month`s later). The first time was just after his first birthday, the second just after his second birthday. Both times he reacted - mostly ...</description>

Sunday night was the last and sold out show at the ACC in Toronto. My girlfriend Corrie and I decided to relive our youth and go to the concert. It may have been 15 years, but ...</description>

		<title>Myles First Day of School!</title>
		<description>My baby officially started school today, his first full day of JK.

He's been so excited since his visit last Friday. He's been asking to go back all weekend. We have never had so little trouble in getting him into both the bath and bed.

He woke up this morning excited - ...</description>

		<title>Stand Up to Cancer</title>
		<description>I flipped this on tonight - because there was nothing else on. As I sit here balling writing this - I am so glad I did.

I strongly urge you to check it out too - according to statics - a person dies every min from cancer. We need to do ...</description>

		<title>The CNE</title>
		<description>Sunday we partook in what has become a tradition with Gord's family every year. The Sunday of the labour day weekend we head to the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto.

The highlight for that weekend for us is usually catching the airshow and the feature - the Snowbirds.

		<description>Today Gord and I celebrate our six year anniversary. Happy Anniversary to us!

		<title>Where does time go?</title>
		<description>This past weekend, one of my best friend's son's turned one! ONE already!!! Where does the time go? I remember clear as day - last July - being at her baby shower, rubbing her beautiful pregnant belly and feeling so happy for her. I also remember that phone call - ...</description>

		<title>Run for the Cure - My reason</title>
		<description>Up until 2006 - I can honestly say - I never thought of breast cancer. I had never known anyone close to me who had it, or who had gone through it - and in all honestly I was completely ignorant to this disease.

Until Marie - my co worker and ...</description>
