Near Brush with Hollywood

2008-03-03T10:12:00.005-08:00

Lola Grace just missed being cast in the Motion Picture, "The Time Travellers Wife"!! The production company owned by EX-Hollywood power couple; Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston had bought the rights to turn the novel The Time Traveller's Wife into a film for themselves, but obviously things have changed. "The Time Traveller's Wife" was written by Audrey Niffenegger, and was a best seller in the US. Its a romantic drama about a Chicago librarian (Bana) with a gene that causes him to involuntarily time travel, and the complications it creates for his marriage. Cast at this time include: Rachel McAdams [The Family Stone] and Eric Bana [Hulk]. The film's director is Robert Schwentke. The Director, having worked with children in the past went safe and will be using an older set of twins.

Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child

2008-03-03T10:12:00.003-08:00

We recently had the wonderful honour of Lola Grace having a private celebration of her birth, at home by our close friend, Rev. Daniel Graves. Lola's birth was certainly a cause for celebration. Like most people we were overcome by a sense of awe at the creation of new life and wanted to express our thanks to God. This service was our opportunity to give thanks for the birth of Lola and to pray for a wonderful family life.

Neighbours find they have a lot in common

By GALEN EAGLE Examiner Staff Writer

A year-ago, couple Sara and Darryl Andrews watched another family move into the home directly behind theirs. It was midnight and the new neighbours were battling a fierce storm as they attempted to move their belongings.

With an offer of a helping hand, little did the Andrews know at the time, they would be forging a unique and strong bond with Julie and Bill Asselstine, a bond the four say has been an example of fate from day one.
Sara, 35, and Darryl, 36, both hairstylists, had only moved to Peterborough a month earlier after uprooting their lives in Toronto, where they no longer wished to raise their 11-year-old daughter Stephanie.
Similarly, Bill, 36, and Julie, 31, had uprooted their life in Ottawa bringing their 21-month-old son Isaac, as Julie accepted a transfer to Peterborough to work at the local Sears store.

Both families moved into the Parkhill Place neighbourhood beside Jackson Park, separated only by a thin wooden fence.
It didn't take long before friendship endured and the first in a long series of coincidences began taking shape. A little more than nine months ago, both Julie and Sara became pregnant. The situation was ideal, Sara said. The girls took advantage of their proximity, sharing their pregnancy woes, trials and tribulations.

"Oh boy. We talked about heart burn, sleepless nights, constant peeing and we noticed our due dates were only a week apart," Sara said. "It was awesome. Usually when you're pregnant you're pregnant alone." Bill and Darryl spent numerous nights themselves talking over the fence-line, sharing a beer or two as they discussed mood-swings and child rearing. "We shared a few beers over the fence. It was nice to have a great friend close by," Bill said.

As the pregnancies advanced and the bellies enlarged, another coincidence emerged. Unknowingly, the same doctor, Dr. Peter Maskins, was treating the two women.
"That was weird," Julie said.
"A complete coincidence," Sara said.
The due date was quickly approaching and while both girls were planning caesarean births, only Julie had a set hospital date of Oct. 3.

On Tuesday, the night before Julie's planned birth, Sara got the call. She too would be heading to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre the next morning.
"That was crazy, we had a little celebration that night," Sara said. "It was a complete surprise. I mean it was kind of euphoric," Darryl said.

Early Wednesday morning Julie gave birth to Ava, a seven-pound one-ounce baby girl.
Assigned the hospital room adjacent to Julie's, Sara arrived for her birth just in time to hold little Ava.
"I got to hold her before I went in. That was pretty special," Sara said.
About an hour later, Sara gave birth to a baby girl herself, six-pound seven-ounce Lola Grace.
"We thought when do the coincidences stop?" Sara said.
Groggily awakening after their surgeries, the two women found themselves recovering in the same ward, their beds facing each other.
"We didn't miss a beat. It was great to be able to talk," Julie said.
Back at home, Darryl and Bill had popped some champagne and lit some cigars to celebrate their newest additions.
To complete the bizarre set of incidents, both Sara and Julie were discharged the same morning.

In the past five days, the new mothers have been doing a lot of resting and the new fathers have been running around "with their heads cut off," the four agreed.
Yesterday, enjoying the warm Thanksgiving afternoon, both families took turns cradling their newborns, thankful they could share the process together.
"It was absolute fate that brought us together. The sun, moon and earth were in the right place, I guess," Bill said.
Unfortunately, Bill and Julie will be moving to the Kingston area by the end of the month.
But the foursome agreed the distance won't matter.
"We're life-time friends now," Bill said.
"We now have this fantastic memory," Darryl said. "These girls will have this link forever, they're almost like sisters."
