Going up the Indian Arm

This is something that I have always wanted to do - take a boat trip up the Indian Arm! Finally! I have seen the end... and I couldn't help but think.. we live in such a beautiful place! The weather was great, we saw several seals, and it was just stunning.

Sand Castles at Harrison Lake

Can you believe these art works are sand???

In a word - Stunning.

Hicks Lake

Our feet. Why, because this is me.

The finals kicks of summer. I am pretty sure that this will be our last swim outside (in Canada) for the year... what a great day - the sun, how warm it was, and being out at Hicks Lake - a surprising jewel that I barely remember from camping at 20 years ago. I would go back in a heartbeat.. what a great swimming lake!

late summer

September has turned out to be a lot BETTER than June!!!!

Not so little boy anymore...

Brandon blitzed by two years old... and pictures like this capture that he is still my baby but he is leaving his nappy days quickly behind him. Things are happening pretty quickly - Brandon's vocabulary is impressive, he has finally taken off with his walking, and he has 2 out of 4 of his two year old molars. He is showing some interest in using the toilet (not pushing that yet) and he loves the "big boy" bunk bed that we iherited from his coz.
