Just like you

Trying out newly learned words

If you look up the word "astonishing" in the dictionary… I'll bet it will show a picture of you, Daddy!

Just a little fun

Dont use my friendship

I can't stand it when people use Facebook to try to sell me stuff.

I can't put this on Facebook, because I'm sure someone will feel offended. But really? Set up a page for the thing you are selling, and then I have a choice to "like" your page, and follow your updates. But don't use me....use our friendship...to try to spam me with your product ads.

That's not friendship.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know, I know.

It's been a LONG time. Sorry about that. Facebook seems to have taken over. Any updates I make are done there. But I've had this blog for over a decade...so I don't want to abandon it. It serves as documentation of SO many awesome events!

How about some puppy pictures? Cookie has grown a bit!

His hair grows SO fast. It seems like I need to trim him every 2 weeks to keep him looking like this! Below is how he looked just before the above hair-cut.

He wanted me to throw this stuffed ball. I wanted a cute photo.

He was insistant and put the ball right up against the lens. He wins. :)

And of course my children. (Yes...I still have those!! haha. But they are even less willing to have their photo taken) But here are some:

Aila's school photo

Aila and Jason at her school.

Life is busy to say the least! Jason is in flux with his career right now...(will post more when there is something firm to say) and Pear Creative is still growing. God has been so good, and we enjoy having some of our family so near by.

That's all for now....

Renovations!

We are so thrilled that our renovations are finally done! Take a look at the "Before and After" shots below!

I come down every morning and this is what I see...and I smile!

More counter space! We've doubled it! And we love the chocolate coloured stone backsplash

I love the little details...like the recessed glass cabinets above the sink...

This area was a big waste of space before. The breakfast bar was an afterthought, but now it's our favourite part of the kitchen!

The granite has great movement...adds to the flow nicely!

Renovations Phase 1

We have been living in a state of disarray as our home is being renovated. We are doing both the upstairs master bathroom, and the kitchen.

The bathroom is now done ! I haven't yet decorated it (I have some art, plants, shelves, candles and towels to add)...but this is the basic jist of the outcome. We are so excited! (and look how deep that tub is! Perfect for cold Canadian winters!
