Episode: Thoughtful Aunt and 1 More Sleep!



Some people are born with the thoughtful gene. For absolutely no reason at all (which is the most fun way I think) our lovely aunt Vicki and cool uncle Johnboy sent a care package to Tierney, Gab and Roo containing a wicked beach hooded towel and facecloth with awesome colours and little characters. Our trio of terror will be the most stylin'in Sauble this year while they strut their stuff ! The kids had so much fun opening the surprise package. Thanks so much for the Markdale Watsons for their thoughtfulness! Can't wait to see you this week and hope that you will be staying for dinner - or at least for a while longer than you could last year!

Episode: Glum Gus Gone


I am a bit glum that old Gussy is gone back home with Gram. He is a cute little thing and funny because he followed me around. When I was moving too fast for him, he found the kids and followed them from room to room. He's sweet and the kids (and maybe even Kelsey) enjoyed having him around.

Episode: Always be prepared !


When packing for your evening outing, whether it be a baseball game, campfire and walk in the park, ALWAYS BRING YOUR SWEATER. Sweaters are frequently needed, even though it was warm in the day. Children under the age of 7 ALWAYS need to have their sweaters so their nanny will not have to fashion sweater replacements out of adult sweatshirts, blankets or tea towels. This is the Gospel according to Nanny...heed my advise, grasshoppers !

Episode: Erin & Kevin's Wedding


My favorite part of Kevin & Erin's wedding was seeing all the family and friends getting together and all having a fantastic time. I took some amazing pictures of my very good looking family who make me so proud everywhere I go... also I would have to say it was an absolute pleasure partying with the folks from Dunnville who are so much fun too ! The Barrie clan are a lot of fun and that fun continued until after the fireworks on Canada Day when we said goodbye and headed home. A very special moment was this reconnection of our beloved "Triplets" who are such a joy and so always so entertaining. Lots of love to Erin & Kevin ! Good luck and happy landings to Jerry - we can't wait till we have you back on our soil !

Episode: The Birthday that Never Was!

Happy B-day to one wicked cool brother in law Cameron... If anyone ever does deserve a fun birthday party it's you Cam - somehow, someway, we will have cake this weekend coming up if it kills us all!

Thanks for always drinking beer with Dave and for teaching me (Kim) a little about laid back-ness. I think someday it might just eventually wear off a bit on me... I hope it does!

The kids thank you for ALWAYS swinging them around, whenever they ask you, and for (accidentally - wink wink) giving them both their first taste of beer!!!

Episode: Hitched - Ernie and Kev Tie the Knot


What was your favourite part of Erin and Kevin's wedding?

Dave sez: The conga line. Dave feels that he was instrumental in the success of this particular dance number. Dave was feelin' very hot hot hot. Dave was also a HUGE fan of Uncle Pete and if that guy goes on the road with his routine, Dave will likely be the first one in line to buy tickets.

Kim sez: I really enjoyed the video montage with Ern and Kev's baby pics. But the dancing all night long just couldn't be beat. Who has a wedding with pina coladas anyway? That rocked the house!

Gabby sez: Going up and down in the elevator, playing in the kids room and dancing with everybody.

Rui sez: Watching movies with the ladies upstairs and all the other kids. Chicken fingers for dinner (he actually ate them all!) and running up and down the aisle after the ceremony with Gab, Allie and Mary.
