It's a small world . . . This one is for you Tim

We had a drop-in this evening - some folks from Fort Simpson. I asked if they knew Tim and, yes they do. The fellow's name is Chris Yarran ( spelling?) who owns Wolverine Air. He is with his wife and another fellow from Yellowknife. He had good things to say about you, Tim. He said you were a nice guy and do a great job! Anyway, what are the chances of that - having someone drop in here who knows Tim? A very small world . . .

Aaron turns 5 today!

Hard to believe the our little NBGB is 5 already! Here he is getting ready to open his gift.

It seems like just yesterday that I was cuddling baby Aaron.


What a cutie!



Little brother Luca with some face paint on - another cutie! Luca is 21/2 now.

And, a picture of our new 22 inch HP Pavillion flat screen monitor. As Jason would say, 'Sweet'!

A new Fall project

I know it's been awhile - I think I did better this summer when we were really busy. Oh well, that's how it goes sometime. Anyway, we have started a new project and this is the "Before". The concrete outside of the office has been in rough shape since forever and about 2 years ago we did the Home Hardware stuff that made it look pretty good for awhile, but that has started to crack over the past winters so we decided to finally fix it properly - a huge job!

Some of the concrete out.

The tractor comes in really handy to drag the stuff away.

My big strong guy!

Wow - doesn't that look better! More pics to follow as the job progresses. We will be putting down slate tiles - perhaps in a herringbone pattern. I was helping yesterday with the 'tamping'. Needless to say, I am very sore today but impressed Gary with how long I was able to stick with it! That tamper thing is heavy! Brenton and I are off to Halifax tomorrow to visit the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design for portfolio day. More updates soon!
