Look at all those ducks!


It has been a while since I have had the chance to update Brandon's website. Everyone is all good - Brandon is growing like a weed and talks up a storm (wonder where he got that from). Keep an eye out here in the coming weeks and yes, I will update the last few months...

A charming boy...


Truth of the matter is, you do slowly stop taking as many pictures as you did in the first few months, but there are still no shortage of pics to see!

NewCastle Island

For Thanksgiving, we headed over to Vancouver Island to visit out relies out near Nanny-Mo. We took the 6:30AM ferry in the hopes of beating some of the traffic and getting to the island with plenty of hours with which to make the most of our day trip.



After breaking the fast of the night, we visited the "neat and tiny" Petroglyph Park, we took a small harbour ferry across to Newcastle Island. What a great call it was. There were a few people scattered about, but what a beautiful place. There are no cars (except the park folks), you can camp here, and there are trails all over the island. We packed Brandon in the backpack, and went for a walk in the woods.

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!

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.
