The dining room…

The living room….the door in the hallway leads to a 2-piece bathroom.

Celeste hanging out on the couch.

The kitchen…


Somewhere I have more pictures of the upstairs and basement. When I find them, I’ll post them for everyone to see.

Pizza Maker in Training

by admin on Feb.06, 2008, under The Blog

Well, I was dying for some of Windsor’s delicious pizza, and since I couldn’t find anything comparable in B.C., I decided to make my own.

At the same time I decided to educate Celeste on the importance of kneeding dough….
making a good sauce…

and using quality toppings. The pizza turned out great, even if I do say so myself, and Celeste has a lot of pizza making potential.

Everett’s Visit

by admin on Feb.06, 2008, under The Blog

Our friend Everett drove up from the mainland for a week’s visit. He brought Celeste these really cool Dora legos, as well as a big bag of mega blocks. She was so thrilled that she yelled out “Oh, my gosh!”

Wild Lights Festival at the Wildlife Park

by admin on Feb.06, 2008, under The Blog

Every year the Wild Life Park celebrates the holidays by decorating the park with hundreds of x-mas lights, classical music, and bon fires. So of course we just had to check it out.

The park was full of beautiful and imaginative displays.

Celeste and I made sure to buy our tickets for the x-mas train.


I think the train ride was Celeste’s favourite part of the evening.


Sitting by the bonfire was my favourite part of the evening. All we needed was a few marshmellows to toast by the fire. Ah well, maybe next year.
