Can you believe it? We are on
the move again!!! This time back to Ottawa, Canada, and
for the long-haul because we have sold everything to buy a company called Taplen
Construction. So, sold our apartment,
packed up everything and along with Michael’s dad and stepmother, moved to
the “Great White North”. It has been a
busy few months with a move, company transition and just getting
settled. So far things are going well
with the company and we are establishing ourselves. We got to enjoy a few weekends this summer out
at our family’s cottages, but now we are physically and mentally preparing
ourselves for the impending Canadian winter!
I guess we will have to bruch up on out
winter weather sports.

How time flies….Barbados, Ireland
again, christening in Ottawa Canada,
cousin Lynn
visiting from Ireland in
November and Christmas in sunny Florida saw
us enjoy 2003 to the full. Gill
continues to work occasionally at her old job in Georgetown, Torin loves the time away from mama at the KPMG daycare
and daddy keeps bringing home the bacon.
Election fever is heating up in our political town and boy are we ready to see the back of Bush and his cronies. Ireland
again in June to see the folks and a few days in Dublin
provided our Euro fix for a wee while boo hoo!

Christmas Message:
Hello everyone!
Hope all is well with you. As
you can see we have finally got a website address you can remember. So if you want to know what we are up to,
just think of Michael’s name and put it into an Internet browser. We will be spending Christmas this year
with our family in Kilrea, warm and cozy next to
the fireplace at Willie & Ethne’s farm. We also look forward to spending some time
with our nieces and nephews who are growing in leaps and bounds.
We will be returning to Prague in
time to celebrate the New Year. We
have been told that there will be a considerable fireworks display and street
festivities to be enjoyed.
In the meantime, stay healthy
and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
