I get new roller blades for my 8th birthday (I believe). Ashley is skating along as well with her skates. For sale sign up in background so this must have been before we moved out in the summer of 1993. Nana and Grandad are in this video with us.

The first two minutes show Thomas with the camera at Nana and Gradad's and then at our home (801 Osgoode Dr.). The rest of the video is the Sisco family is visiting Sarnia and Corunna going to some old parks and visiting some old homes. *The video being watched at the beginning is a home video from Adam's 3rd Birthday.
Ashley Poetry Slam
This clip seems to have been cut off. The battery life of the camcorder at that time was not good. It stopped working probably a year or so after this. It looks like this was filmed downtown London maybe 1994 or 1995.
Ottawa Trip 1994
Sisco family trip to Ottawa. This was filmed in 1994 at the Smith's home in Ottawa. Mom's birthday is being celebrated, so I would assume this was sometime in October 1994.
Ottawa Trip 1994 – Skits
Tim, Adam & Ashley (of TimAdAsh fame) making some silly skits in the basement of Jean and Al's house. Video was recorded in October 1994. These scenes were filmed on the same day as the "Ottawa Trip 1994" video.

1997
Summer Cottage with the Pearsons
This is a summer vacation with the Pearson family. We rented a cabin up near Renfrew, Ontario. Lots of funny memories about this trip are not on this video but this gives an idea about what the setting was like. This video was mostly filmed 3 days after we got there. I had already had a hospital visit after a whittling mishap. Lester must have digitized this video at some point and also recorded on his camcorder.
1998
Ashley Commercial
Ashley is some sort of tv thing. I just remember I had to record the local channel one night in case it came on. Just a quick clip, maybe 1997-2000, not sure.
2001
Christmas at Janet’s
The Sisco family and Candy Nana are over at Janet's house in London, Ontario. Lots of food, gifts and singing (Thom brings a guitar). This would have been filmed on December 24, 2001, Michelle's 4th Birthday. I'm getting used to my new camera and playing around with it a bit. Thom may have been taping some of this.
Visiting Grampa Sisco at Parkwood
The Sisco men visiting George Sisco and Genie sometime around Christmas 2001. This was a few months before George died and he didn't do any talking when we actually saw him.
Sisco Christmas 2001
Sisco Family Christmas - Christmas morning 2001. Opening presents at 591 Osgoode Dr. I believe you can see some rare footage of our old cat "Nose" in the background.
2002
Michelle’s Kindergarten Concert
Spring 2002 Concert of Michelle recorded by Tom I believe. This would have been during her first year of Kindergarten. The date on the tape recorded as May 23, 2002, which seems correct.

Victoria Day at Janet's house in London. Lester and Tim are in town visiting. Michelle is just a 4-year old and Thom is playing around with my new video camera.
Michelle Sings
Michelle's hanging out with Alisha and I downstairs in my old room. She just turned 4 a couple weeks before this video.
2003
Clue Photo Shoot
Well this video is self explanatory... Each one of us are dressing up like a Clue character, as one does. I think we were posing so Thom could make a board game with our images in it. Not sure if the game was ever made or not. Dave and Bobby were helping with the photos/videos to document this. This was filmed in October 2003 (that's what the on screen date says) at 591 Osgoode Dr.
MarineLand Trip
Family trip to Marine Land in the Summer of 2003. Back when animal cruelty was a good family event. I remember this day was very hot and humid. Michelle would have been 5 here. We ended up having another Marineland trip maybe 2 or 3 years after this video and Michelle was able to go on some bigger kid rides that time.
2004
Michelle’s Grade 1 Spring Concert
Filmed on April 29, 2004 (as the date on screen would indicate), this is a performance by the grade 1 class at Wilton Grove PS.
Michelle Christmas Concert
Christmas Concert from 2004. I am assuming this is 2004 because the videos on this tape before and after were 2004.
Sisco Christmas Eve
Christmas gathering at the Sisco house on Christmas Eve 2004. Michelle's 7th birthday (she confirms in the video). So the on screen date is actually wrong by a year, it was not 2005. Everyone is opening one gift as per the Sisco tradition and Alisha and I are exchanging our gifts.
2009
Kitties – Keira and Emily
Various footage of Keira and Emily in their first few weeks/months in 2009. All of the clips were filmed at at apartment building 100 Ridout St. South in London, Ontario. The first clip starts on the day we got them. We open up their cage and let them first explore our apartment.
