Wayne & Donna Nielsen

Hello family and friends. We are joining the ranks of bloggers and creating a record of our life for all to see. We are still trying to figure out how it all works but we thought we would go ahead and get started anyway.
We are the parents of three wonderful sons. Darryl, Derek and Dean (we see all things in 3D) Those wonderful sons brought into our family three glorious daughters when they married Amber Voroney (Darryl), Melissa Liscombe (Derek) and Siobhan Bovie (Dean). Those amazing couples have blessed us (to date) with 7 adorable grandchildren. Emma (5), Rebecca (3) & Dallin (1) (Darryl & Amber), Brandon (4), Natelie (2), Stephanie (11months) (Derek & Melissa), and Cooper (9 months) (Dean & Siobhan). Our newest addition is expected to arrive at Darryl and Amber's home in late February.

Our life began together on Canada Day in 1977. Since then we have seen our hearts and family grow. Wayne is a very hard worker who comes from a family of hard workers. He is a fulltime firefighter with Toronto Fire Services (stn 242) and Donna is a firefighter with City of Kawartha Lakes, Woodville Division (stn 14). Two of our sons, Derek and Darryl, have followed the same path and are presently involved with the fire service in Alberta. Dean is finishing up his teaching degree and will be bringing his family home to Woodville in March (hooray).

In the past couple of years we have been adjusting to the "empty nest syndrome". Our children and grandchildren are living far from home. So, we spend alot of our time on the highway that stretches from Woodville to Strathmore, Alberta or on a Westjet Flight to Thunder Bay, On or Calgary, Alberta.

We love our life, we love our family and we love our country. LIFE IF GOOD!!
