A lot can happen in a year!

So, it’s been a year since I posted on this blog and thought I’d do a quick update.  First of all, our family ranks have swelled with the arrival of Natalie Elise Augustine.  As you can see from the picture below she’s a beautiful little girl and I’m not saying that just because I’m the proud daddy.

Cheyenne is all grown up now and is talking about getting an apartment in Bangor with her boyfriend so they can be closer to their job.  Where did the time go???  How did she go from a little girl to a young woman so fast?? 

Rowan is growing up fast too.  A couple of weekends ago we went to the Owls Head Transportation museum for a mighty machines day and he got to climb around on some of the equipment.  So did I.

It brought back the days when I used to operate heavy equipment… back in the good old days before computers.

On a sad note Aunt Madeline died last week after a long illness.  She was the family matriarch in Canada – Dad’s sister – and she will be missed by many.  It will seem very strange going to Red Bank and not going to visit her.  In the past when there was any type of big family event it always took place at Mad’s house, now I wonder who will take up the mantle?  All things change, but I’m very much saddened by her passing.  We miss you, Aunt Mad.
