Birth of The Beard

For those who have not seen Dave recently, you would not know that his face looks a little different these days. That's right ... he has decided to grow a beard. What started as a couple days of laziness has evolved into a physical declaration for his love of hockey and the Stanley Cup hopefuls, the Edmonton Oilers. Erin has been quite torn between her dislike for the beard and her hopes for the only remaining canadian team (now that her Leafs are gone). Oh well there's only one more round to go - Go Oilers!

A Deck For We

Well the weather has become enjoyable once again, and that means its time to build the deck now that all the materials have arrived.

With the help of our friend Wes, our patio paradise has been coming together in no time and with few casualties (except for the drain spout Dave bent when he threw a rotten board off the side)!

Stay tuned for pictures of our railing and stairs as we complete them. Our lawn chairs can hardly wait to make the trip from our driveway to our new backyard oasis.

Yes, It's Ours!

Last May, we bought our first house. It's a 884 sq.ft., 2 bedroom bi-level with an unfinished basement, and as you can see ... an unfinished yard. However, now that we have our income tax return, that won't be the case much longer. This summer a deck, lawn, and fence are in the plans. In fact we've already bought the deck materials. We must say that we are very excited and so is our BBQ which has longed for a home of its own for the past many months. We hope to bring you pictures of the progress as soon it begins.

Our Pets (Kind of) ...

To answer everyone's burning questions ... Dave and Erin are still without kids. We don't even have any pets because Erin is allergic to anything with fur. We had a fish once, because Dave thought a fish tank would look pretty, but that only lasted as long as Erin could tolerate doing all the "fish care" herself.

So now we've opted for animals of the stuffed kind. We have two "pets". Our dog Russell is a lathargic little fellow who enjoys long naps on Dave & Erin's bed as well as being regularily vacuumed and the occassional snack of green shoe-string licorice.

Last summer we added Shaemus the sheep to our now growing family. Shaemus joins us from Victoria, BC where we adopted him while tourist shopping downtown. Being not so bright (as most sheep are) Shaemus follows his animal instints by habitually snacking on just about anything within his reach. Erin is currently in the process of writing down his unruly eating habits in the future hopes of publishing a children's book entitled, "Shaemus the Sheep Likes To Eat ... ".
