Lowell and Sharon, above ground.
My brother Lowell and his new wife, Sharon O'Grady, have moved into their new house in Calgary! It's their first house. They are both very excited about it -- understandably so! Since they met over three years ago, they have been living in a basement apartment. As Lowell says, "Now we can have plants!". Check out the first photos of the new house!

>> Send e-mail to Lowell and Sharon.
>> Place your bets for when the pregnancy announcement will come with the eager Grandparents.

The cover of the Globe and Mail shocked me this morning. Two tiny footprints, each smaller than a thumbprint. The story was about a Victoria, BC preemie who is reportedly the world's smallest surviving baby on record. Baby Noella was born April 13, 2000 and weighed 1lb. That's two weeks earlier and 3/4 of a pound lighter than our Jasper. Noella endured a much more difficult road to health: surgery, pneumonia, oxygen mask at home to nine months. Jasper hasn't even had a bad cold since we brought him home 15 months ago. What a miracle!

Building a CD collection: Walden -- Music for the Woods
Walden's resident music afficionado, Alex "Kwesi" Larose, sent us our first suggestion for the Walden Cabin CD, Music for the Woods. The CD will be left in the cabin for rental guests. To find out how to experience Walden Cabin in PEI, click here.

"This is one of those enchanting songs I woke up to one morning, last fall. My radio alarm clock was set to wake me up with CBC radio 2, as it always does. Out of the abyss of my dream state came voices of angels. They took me from the arms of Morpheus and led me to entrance of reality. The transition was so soft that I remained in a pleasant, semi-dream state for the remainder of the day."

"The first time I heard Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings was during the sad and sobering movie, Platoon. This haunting chorus version is a beautiful rendition of an already amazing song. I recommend you listen to this song first thing in the morning, and if you're able to set your alarm clock to start with a specific song, this would
have to be the one!"
