Since Sept., Gideon and I headed into Calgary each Tuesday for Choir Rehearsal at Mount Royal University.  The Calgary Boys Choir consists of 3 choirs and after Gideon was accepted into the Intermediate Choir after an audition in August.  He's enjoyed learning a variety of pieces: Gloria in Excelsis, Chatter with the Angels, Hine me Tove - a traditional Hebrew arrangement, and a number of others for the December performances.

The Artistic Director encourages singing throughout all ages - and encourages the boys to continue singing into adulthood as is attested to by the above photo.

Our Best Friend!

After a  4 year wait, Peter and Gideon are delighted to now have a dog as part of our family.  Jaxx our new pet is a lovely, obedient and loving dog that was adopted by us.  He spent the past four years of his life with a young couple, now with a baby and working full-time, so they sought a loving family to care for him.  We all (yes even Albert) are loving Jaxx's character, his love and his intelligence.

Burning off energy: Boys&Jaxx

Jaxx is a German Shepherd/Collie mix and is 6 years old - which is a delight to me - no puppy challenges!!

We even had a guest in our home this past week who was delighted with Jaxx. Aunt Joyce and the boys were playing a game and Jaxx was in there lapping up the love!
