Our First Entry

Well, the three children and I are huddled around the kitchen computer trying to decide how to start this entire blog thing! I guess - to get started - each of them will give me a little something to introduce themselves. By the way, I am Melinda - the mother of these three charming children, and usually the author of the blogs - no, you won't hear much about me - my life is boring!

Jennifer - I am the oldest and am going in to grade 12, and it's a little scary. I love all things music and am sometimes called a "band geek" - to which I reply, "Thank you". I play the flute in the band and guitar everywhere else. The only sport that I participate in regularly is karate, and I actually feel co-ordinated when I'm there, unlike when I'm on a bicycle. Mom says I talk a lot and worry about my friends too much. I guess I do talk too quickly, but I really don't think that I talk too much.

Jamie - I am the middle child, but luckily, the only boy! I like all things "Bob". Go Bob! I don't really want to be thinking about things to write - I do much better at playing video games. I definitely talk the least in the family! but I am funny (or so I'm told). Let's see - I like karate and swimming. My favourite subjects are math and science and I'd really like to make video games for a living. How's that??

Meghan - I am the youngest child, but I'm totally the best! I am starting grade 7 at a new school - Marymount (all-girl, Catholic school) this fall and am really excited about it! I don't do karate (too much discipline); I don't play an instrument; I am horrible at video games (crash way too often). I am the greatest camper ever! I love guiding and camping and if I could, I'd sleep in a tent every night. The sport I like is swimming. School is boring - enrichment is fun!

Pierre was here!
A family blog. Naturally this family would have one. I'm suprised it took so long for it to get done. Reading all the details your giving on the blog makes it sound like there is a family for sale. I'll take two of the kids. I won't tell you which so they could fight it out and I'll take the two strongest. If I had to say anything about these three kids it would be that they are ideal. I hope my four kids come out just like your three Melinda. Only I would want more boys then girls... We'll, that's all for now.

Its so great to see that you have created a family blog! I have one myself for my time in Australia, so I am very excited to be able to keep in touch with everyone over blogging.

As for Pierre's comment, I agree. You have three wonderful children Melinda! As for Pierre wanting more boys than girls....we'll see!

Hope your summer is going well and I love the blue hair Jamie!

Cool Blog!

Jen, I didn't know you played the flute. I hope you don't go to "band camp".

Why am I not surprised that "Bob" is in here.

Megan, don't forget that you are also modest.

And Melinda, I'm sure your life isn't boring. How can raising three great kids be boring?
