Amy had a great laugh on the way home the other day:

Helmut, Sorry you missed out on the fish coming up Hyde Creek. The bears are enjoying it and the locals too.

Mae and Amy are really enjoying each other.

See, they cuddle and laugh together.

with Halloween just around the corner, we got into our pumpkin chopping and created this beauty.

Over Thanksgiving we went out to Hope, and Mae did her first flower arrangement. Amy decided to crawl all over Mel as well.


Michael came over to play with Amy, she was a bit sceptical. Amy was powering around the house and found Mel's tampon box. Good fun.

Mae is really enjoying ringette. It is great to see her having so much fun. She came home all sweaty last weekend with a great big grin on her face. Loved it. Then we took this mug shot of Amy.

The other day we went to Andy and Silke's for a few drinks and Raglette. It was very yummy and funny.

Rosi and Helmut really enjoyed our trip to Vancouver Island. We saw lots of beautiful places and Buchart Garden's is definetly one of those.





A neat little place along the way is close to Cowichan Bay. It is a little shopping area with buildings from Duncan's old China town.


The Ferry is particularly stunning, a great sunrise and a cute little light house along the route.



Mae made a new friend in Victoria. He wasn't very responsive though.
