Newest Member of the Stacey Family

Hi there:

     Announcing the newest member of the Stacey family, Eli, born to Cory and Jenn Stacey in Moncton, NB at 5:08 am this morning April 27.  Eli just couldn't wait to surprise his parents and grandparents so he came 3 weeks earlier than originally planned. 

     Special congratulations to Cory and Jenn along with Grammie Diane and Poppie Kevin.

Cheers,

Barry

Open House Saturday April 6th

Hi there:
      On Saturday afternoon from 2:00 - 5:00pm we held an Open House at our place so that some of Mom's friends could come by and wish her the best. It was a busy afternoon with over 40 people including our own dropping by wish her birthday greetings and to have a little lunch.
     Mom seemed quite overwhelmed by it all including the birthday wishes from all levels of government from federal to provincial to municipal. She certainly enjoyed having all her own family around as well as those who dropped by to see her too.
     Below is a few photos taken throughout the afternoon. It includes some of the people who came by to pass along their regards.
     Enjoy. There are many other photos which I will upload and send along a link to in the near future.
    Take care. Hope all is well with everyone.
Cheers,
Barry

Happy 90th Birthday Mother

Hi there:

     We've had quite a busy week with most of the crowd home to help mom celebrate her 90th birthday. There is only Pat, Evelyn and Lucy left here on the Rock now. Pat and Evelyn leaves for St. John's on Wednesday while Lucy leaves next Sunday.

      For mom's birthday we all went to Wong's Palace Restaurant for dinner. Along with our own family, mom's two nieces Maureen and Bernie along with their spouses George and Ron came along to join in the festivities. After dinner we came back to our house to finish out the celebration.

     We had an Open House for mother at our house  on Saturday April 6 from 2:00 - 5:00pm which was well attended. I'll post to that later.

      A special thanks to all who came from away to celebrate and to all of you who sent along birthday wishes, phoned or contacted mom during the past week. She very much appreciated it all and seemed a little overwhelmed at times. 

     Enjoy the photos and stay in touch.

      Cheers.

Barry
