How time flies ...

I can’t believe it has been almost two years since I posted last. It has been a busy twenty months. We marked the fourth year in our house, survived another winter and enjoyed another summer, finished our first upstairs room and welcomed Harrison into our family (and celebrated his first Birthday!).

I’m excited to share photos which offer a glimpse into the past two years. Looking through photos from the two years, it was great to see how much our children have grown, the many adventures we have shared and to see our house in the background of so many. With each year, each memory made and each update completed, it become so much more our home and an integral part of our lives. I’m sure it will come as no surprise to anyone who has tackled a complete house renovation, particularly with an older house, we have definitely had our moments of frustration and wishes that the process would move faster, but we are able to live happily in the parts we have renovated and take our time with the rest.

The fourth member of our family, Harrison, arrived May 29, 2018. He made himself at home quickly and Margaret was a great new big sister.

 

My maternity leave spanned the summer so we were able to enjoy lots of sunny days outside. David grew our garden and built a greenhouse with old windows and doors he had been collecting.

I love the possibilities for throwing parties at home and we celebrated in lots of different ways in the past two years.

This past summer Margaret and Harrison helped David in the garden. We harvested lots of beautiful flowers, broccoli, tomatoes, blueberries and lots of raspberries! 

 

 

 

Our chickens continue to do well (the bees too!).
