Who we areA little bit about us...

Paul grew in London, Ontario and Jacqueline in Brantford, Ontario - they converged in London at college. Over the past 17 years of marriage we have been in London, Georgetown and Brantford. It has been quite a journey as we have grown to a family of 6 with many interests, hobbies and activities.

Jacqueline is an artist, writer, coach, teacher and currently teaches all 4 children while coaching part time at Gymmies in Caledonia. She has painted mostly acrylic on canvas and is currently working on some writing projects. She is working on completing her level 2 coaching in both gymnastics and trampoline.

Jessica has been working very hard on her dance efforts with a major focus on ballet. She has completed her grade 7 RAD exam in ballet and continues to pursue her goal of becoming a dance teacher. Jessica loves reading, texting, and pouring into people's lives. - and yes... she has a boyfriend.

Tyler has been working hard for the past 3 years on Trampoline - and has had some great success. He is now working on doubles and increasing his difficulty. This year he is competing in level A provincial in both Trampoline and Double-Mini. Tyler also is an avid gamer and loves playing with his dog, Cinder.

Alissa is a beautiful gymnast as well as a dancer. She is a level 5 provincial gymnast and is doing very well at reaching her goals for level 6 later in 2011! She is doing very well in school, loves piano and continues to be a motivator in our family.

Mariah has developed into a very good gymnast and has settled down in level 7 provincial. She will be competing in Pre-Novice National and continues to aspire to great things. She recently won her first Gold and hopes to have much more dangling around her neck! Mariah loves music, dance, colouring and writing.

Paul has gone through some big transitions at the end of 2010, and finds himself searching for his spot in life. He continues to run his business and hopes to accomplish some big goals before the big 40 comes!
