Rainy day play

In an increasingly less rare moment, the brothers cuddle under a blanket.


What to do with squirrely kids when we've already been out in the rain long enough? Build a fort!

I jokingly suggested that Levi is almost old enough to start helping me wash the dishes. He was keen and so was Oliver. I think two cups got washed. Plus a whole bunch of sea creatures.



Oliver finds a new hiding place.

Levi is curious about handwriting and surprised me with this interpretation today.

Our house

Here is a little tour of our new home. This is the front entrance with Oliver for scale.


Oliver takes us through Levi's room.

And his room.

The hallway from the rooms looking into the living room.

Oliver demonstrates how to use a step stool and sink.

The little touches like this stained glass made us fall in love with this house.

Every sunny evening the sun pours in through our gorgeous glass door and makes rainbows through the hall and into the kitchen! Magic!

My beautiful kitchen!

Our living room (note the great rug, Bakers!)

Part of our massive yard is a wonderful fenced garden that you can see Chris building here.

Island Life

We are absolutely loving our new home. We love our neighbourhood, neighbours, house, yard, the town... everything!
Here are a couple shots of what we've been up to.
Above: Levi painting and Oliver sampling the flavours of paint.

As I upload the rest of our photos (and whenever I have a minute not cleaning or looking after the kids) I will post more so stay tuned!
