Rian!

My Dad came down for a visit in April for Rian's 3rd birthday!



Rian, my Mom ("Nanna") and I also went on an overnight trip to Harrison Hot Springs where we discover Rian LOVES swimming!

Halloween 2007

Halloween was especially fun this year - Rian was 2.5 years old and was great at making the jack o' lantern! 


Rian dressed as King 
Arthur 
and his mate Sam went as a "sam-wich"!
Trick or Treating was a huge hit!

This year our 
house was on the parade route of the loc
al "Parade of the Lost Souls", a Commercial Drive festival hosted by Public Dreams

We bought a fog 
machine, Pete borrowed a proxima from work to show scary movies on our front curtains and we decorated the front yard!

We were a huge hit and even made the local TV news!

Rian and Elia! Brother and Sister!

Seaview Lodge!
Our soon-to-be completed 16-month project has been building a wee little cabin in Sandy Hook, Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast!
When its finished, it'll have 5 bedrooms upstairs and a 1-bed apartment in the lower level, enough for a lot of visitors! 

Trying to offset our super-sized carbon footprint, we've used a lot of green building materials including bamboo floors, non-VOC paints, 30% recycled fiber-cement siding, a metal roof, low-E windows, recycled kitchen and bathroom cabinets, dual flush toilets, etc.     

Its been a long hard (and expensive) slog but its looking amazing!  

With both sides of the family coming soon in August, it'll mark the start of a dream where Rian and Elia can grow up with a fun getaway home to have family and friends stay!

Woo Hoo!  Welcome Back!

It's been a long time since I've posted - almost exactly 9 months!  In that time, guess what we've been doing???

Hint:

Our beautiful daughter, Elia Makena Roberts was born June 26th at 8:14 pm!


Check out all that hair!  I kinda thought she might be blond but just the opposite!

So far she's an awesome sleeper!

Do keep checking this blog regularly! 

We've now got two wonderful children to showcase!
