Christmas '08

We made a skating area in our trees...

and it looks like it got used.

Considering the weather it's amazing...

especially for Eugene who is here in Canada for his first winter.

Steady There!!!

Baby Bella arrives safe and sound

Bella Claire, we're so happy to have you

Grandma and her girls

and peek a boo to you too!!

Angels on earth - sisters by design, friends by choice

and what a gift she is - one day early for Grandma's birthday,
and just in time for Christmas!

Sea Doo Mania hits the Gwilliams

Fall '07 - Spring '08

Our Summer Pool Help

Our very own "automatic" lawn mower - works grrrrreat!!

Our place, then and now

We put a lot of energy into our place - maybe too much. We've chipped away at it and brought it from rugged treed land to some sense of home. These are some shots that might let you see a bit of it.

Yes we have worked a lot of kids over the years!!

Still trying to turn it into a British park I think, or something out of one of Heather's Barbie movies. Not sure we'll ever succeed, but none the less it is what we call home.
