Heather Denman (Knowlden)
I "retired" after 25 years in advertising in 2003 to try and find that delicate balance of parenting our 4 kids without the appearance of micro-management! After a year and a half, feeling relatively under control, I went back to work for another company involved in marketing high-end real estate development communities. Bat as I couldn't/wouldn't deal with a "5th child", I retired again after one year! Currently I work from home for a glass artist doing "manual labout" - the kids tax my brain enough, so doing something a bit mindless suits me fine! They are heavily involved in Irish dance, music, soccer, field hockey and rugby. Last Spring we confirmed learning differences in Sarah (16) and Sean (9), and decided the regular school system wasn't in their best interests. This September they will all attend a different school; Kate's at Capilano College, Sarah's at Aspengrove Independent School in Nanaimo, Paula's at Carson Graham and Sean will be at Kenneth Gordon School in Burnaby. Ah...the sacrifices of parenthood.. wouldn't have it any other way! Nick and I will be celebrating 24 years of marriage in August, and have lived in the North Van neighbourhood of Pemberton Heights for the past 16 years. Apart from the hectic pace 3 teenagers and 9 year old put you through, life has treated us very well, and we are all healthy and happy. Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!

Wow Heather,and I thought my life was too complicated. Incidentally, it was great to have your brother build the dormers and other parts on my house.You can pass that on for me.
Hey Heather, this whole blog thing is new to me. . .
I'd like to email you and try to get together with you when you come out in Nov to Edmonton, but I'm not even sure this will get to you. I've tried replying to two other blogs which seem to have bounced back to me. Please email me at trackmom@telus.net and let's see if we can connect in Nov (or obviously in Oct). Thanks, Christine (Lepik) Robertson
Hi Heather,
My god, I think I've grown up-almost! The boys go to West Van High. Look forward to seeing you.

Hi Heather.
Thanks for stopping by. How did I end up where I am today? I guess it just comes with the journey traveled. I could not imagine how busy life must have become with four kids in tow and a career in advertising. Hope you had a great time at the Reunion and hope to see you all at the next one.
