December 2014 Team DuChene

Team DuChene had a challenging and rewarding 2014. We continue to be blessed in so many ways and look forward to what God has planned for our future. All the best to everyone in 2015. Should be another exciting year for us!

Krista successfully returned to racing after fracturing her femur in April. She completed three races to finish 2014 (1 in Nov & 2 in Dec). Photo Credit: Bob Baldwin, Tannenbaum 10 km. Toronto. Her plan is to go after that Olympic standard in a 2015 spring marathon. 

On CHRISTmas day, Jonathan and Krista gave the kids shoeboxes, filled with various Disney/warm weather/travel items. They didn't quite get our surprise gift but will be excited a bit closer to the time we actually go!

Christmas t-shirts with their sports teams: 99'ers hockey, Ice Kittens hockey, and Brantford Aquatic Club swimming. #activekids #TeamDuChene

While we were in the area, we stopped by Krista's cousin Roxanne's Barn79 to get a few things for our home. She builds/refinishes various items. Krista used her Christmas gift money from Jonathan's dad to get this bench...

...and this cabinet is a Christmas/birthday gift for Jonathan and Krista.

These two ladies certainly enjoyed playing together over the holidays. Was so nice to see Franz, Aimee, Aidan, and Genevieve.
