March 21 - 27, 2005

On late Sunday night there was a "burglary" in our neighborhood. It was one of those incidents that we will likely never see again in our lifetime. It made the Channel 7 o'clock news! An intruder, apparently high on drugs, got into a neighbor's house from a basement window because "he was hot" and proceeded to undress himself while piling up things to steal while the residents were upstairs who woke up after hearing some noises. They confronted him and tried to "slow him down" until the police came but he escaped through their garage!! The intruder left behind his jacket and some other belongings....Anyway, this is really unusual for our very safe neighborhood. Therefore, Tuesday's neighborhood watch meeting was about this incident, here is a pic:

and the kids bored during the meeting:

Here is Sophia in the Briarwood play space while waiting for Kostas to finish his taekwondo class:


We signed Kostas up again for swimming at the Otters swimming club from April 25 to June 7.

Sophia started coughing on Wednesday and stayed home with mom who worked from home. She felt a little better on Thursday and we took her to Humpty Dumpty where they had an Easter party, she got a basket full of candy stuff.

Kostas last day of school was on Thursday, he has the rest of this week and all of next week off!

On Friday (Good Friday) it was a holiday for lots of people but not us. Dad had meetings for the full day and mom stayed home with Sophia (who kept on coughing more) and Kostas.

Mom worked through Friday night until Saturday afternoon because they had some major maintenance work at ProQuest. Dad took the kids around at the Canton McDonalds where we run into Hussien, Gerda (and her mom visiting from Belgium), Chloe and Celine. After that Dad took the kids to the Barnes and Noble Bookstore where Sophia made a friend:


We did not go to Adrian for Easter this year, Sophia's cough is not getting better but it's not getting worse either...
Lee's uncle from Singapore visited for training again (he is a airplane mechanic) and Simon picked him from the airport. We then went to the Canton buffet with Bern and May's family. We got to watch on TV Mexico vs. USA in soccer, 2-1 final score, great game. We then came back home, relaxed and proceeded to eat some more again for dinner. Here is a pic with the uncle, Simon, Maggie and mom:
