FAMILY TIME: 1956 - 1964
PART 2
354 days after Karen was born in Guelph, Jane was born on January 6, 1957! In fact, the doctor was sufficiently concerned with the young mother who had produced three babies in less than three years, he thought she should spend some extra time in the hospital after Jane's birth to rest up and "recover". Marion stayed in the hospital an extra 10 days!

As family life continued to grow in great variety, the final prize at Leaside Crescent was the birth of the youngest child. Shelagh was born on March 26, 1963 at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital. In fact, Shelagh got to the hospital before the doctor did so fortunately she was brought into the world with help of the nurses. The name, "Shelagh" was held with some fascination by her parents because of an admiration for a swedish retailer in Toronto from whom they bought a lot of their swedish furniture.

Dad was in the process of painting the bedroom and had removed the door hardware. While mom was tidying the bedroom, someone shut the door - mom inside and the kids outside in the hall. Shouting out the bedroom window, mom was able to get the attention of the breadman who was just passing on the street. Fortunately, Margaret Best was nearby and he helped her get through the milk box whereupon she was able to let the breadman in through the front door. Mom was rescued and lived happily ever after!
>... How about the time that Karen came back from Headlams and cheerfully cut our new living room drapes with her scissors.
>...Panic when Jane drank the floor cleaner!
