time marches on...

Hello Leech cousins,
I know that it has been awhile since I checked in with the blog, but I thought I would stop in and give an update. I bought my first home in January, so have been very busy with that. Good thing that Amanda and Dad are so handy, they have been a big help. In fact, I think Dad ripped up the living room carpet and kitchen linoleum (which was hiding beautiful hardwood floors) by himself. I have also helped out a few friends over the years as they purchased homes and/or moved, so I called in a few favours too ;) I hope to get some after pictures taken soon (Amanda took some 'before' shots) so that I can show you all the transformation. I hope to have the local family members in for a housewarming this spring.
Now that the weather is warming up a bit I am getting excited to see what plants are in my yard, and hopefully will have a small vegetable garden. My grandfathers all seem to have a talent for growing things, and Amanda has a good track record too. Dad however has never been able to grow much other than tomatoes so I guess time will tell on that one!
To close out I will leave you with a quick note to request some extra prayers for my dad (some of you may know him as 'Uncle Gene'). He has to go and have some tests done and possibly a minor procedure at the hospital in Saint John this week.
