in the past year

Since I just started this blog I thought I would post a past years summary for those of you who don't know. We DO live in Surrey, but we own our OWN townhouse. It is 2 stories with 3 bedrooms, a walk-in closet, one and a hlf bathrooms, a small yard and it's own laundry room. (and yes that is our minivan parked in the driveway!!! yieyks). We are also expecting another baby, and yes, IT IS ANOTHER BOY!!! And we ARE considering calling him Otto. It is to even things out at the playground; for every Jacob there WON'T be an Otto. He is due to arrive on March 31. ( I will keep you posted!) So...
we have lived in our townhouse since May of last year and we really like it except for when we have to cross the Alex Fraser Bridge. If you think driving in Vancouver is bad try Surre. We have slowly been fixing up our place room by room just the way we want it/ This intails me having big ideas that Francis has to come home from work and put into action. This usually involves a lot of complaining on his part before, during and even after but he always ends up getting it done. Jacob's roomis the first to be finished although he still needs a closet. his room we made into a space room with a rocket window, a space light, bookshelf with a rocket lamp, and planets all over the walls. He has a bunk bed with a canopy of stars and a lounge underneath complete with a mickey mouse tv and dvd player so he can watch his movies. His recent favorites include "talking dogs" aka good boy, the polar express and thomas the tank engine.

this room was the biggest nightmare to paint


and it took about 3 days to dry



in the end we were really happy at how it turned out
