The ride home

Taylor's at play

Images from our stay at my brother's rented cottage near Minden, Ontario, this is where we made our home getaway from.

Family and Friends

The kids spent a week with Gramma and Grampa and Ashley and the kids spent a few days at the Reay's

Here's a fun towel fight, I lost big time.

Kennedy Space Center

Cocoa Beach

The front of ur building of the hotel, there are four buildings.

The big building to the right is our hotel, but we're not in it. The big building in the middle is not our hotel. Just to the left of that one you can just see our building behind it, we have two partial views of the ocean, much to Lisa's happiness

Us sunbathing at the pool after some jellyfish touched Lisa and I in the ocean and I freaked out, followed by Lisa. It'll take a day or two of braveness for me to get back in there.

Lisa's first touch of the Atlantic on our first full day at Cocoa Beach.

Rest Area Frenzy

We just finished our 2700 trek from Saskatchewan to Ontario, and the great pics and video's we took were all at Rest Stops!

Laura makes us proud

Lisa and I went to the awards presentation on the last day of school today. We thought it would just be for athletics but the plaque in the middle makes us so proud of our daughter!

Molly wore a t-shirt for a bit around the house, and for a walk. She didn't seem to mind much...

The new tree from last summer is starting to bloom, and Mummy and Molly both cooperated for a picture.

Caught Molly smoking!

We're done!

Laura's room - the home stretch

Fast forward to this weekend. The last pictures were the ceiling drywall going up. I put one last piece up myself (just to say I participated) then at the last minute I decided my lack of grip and finesse wasn't up to the task of mudding and taping the drywall, so an emergency call to our friend Tom got him over from Tuesday to Thursday for the three coats of mud.

After some intense haggling (about a minute) we gave him a bit of money and since I saw he was eyeballing my drywalling tools, I let him have them! I don't figure to need them anymore and it was a good, well deserved bonus for Tom.

Last night and this morning I discovered how annoying sanding drywall is, but it was nice to finish. We put up the primer this afternoon, and the pictures below show how excited Laura is to get the first bit of paint on. We'll finish the first colour tonight, give it some time to dry then tomorrow afternoon the white goes up on the other walls and voila! A finished room, just a light to install, a door to paint, and oh yeah, a whole bunch of stuff to put back in the room!
