So this past week brought two awesome products to my attention: ERD Commander which allowed me to recover a completely dead installation of Windows 2000, and PC Inspector Smart Recovery which allowed me to retrieve my photos from the camera. I’ve now uploaded some of the pics from Oz for you to look at … not much because I was always the one taking the picture. The excitement from this particular trip was the phenominal restaurants which I got to eat at, going snorkelling with Rob, and seeing my first shark in the wild (albeit not too large). I guess I didn’t fill you in too much on that trip, but it was so fast it seemed like I was hardly there. The first day Rob, Dan and I drove south two hours for fish’n chips – ask me about it sometime. That night we did the zippity quick tour of the aquarium, then crashed. Keep in mind that I had not really slept in almost 48 hours. Then on Friday, Rob and I wandered over through Manly and enjoyed the water, views and some excellant Mexican food.

Did I mention that Heidi and I were in Nova Scotia this past weekend for a well overdue visit home? It was excellant to sit at 130 MacKay street and relax even though the weather was less than perfect. Oh yes, lots of news coming up about trips, our house and the baby! But we’ll save that for next week. Smile.

Well …. let’s see now … still not too much happening in our lives. Ouch! Heidi just hit me. Apparently she thinks that expecting our first child is big news. 🙂 Yipper. That’s right. It’s kind of hard NOT to be floating on air after finding out the most wonderful news that we’re expecting in late November. I think hearing that was probably the best news that I’ve heard so far this year – apologies to the other four siblings who are expecting. Heidi and I were at our first ultrasound last week and not only have a picture, but were able to hear the heartbeat and see it move. Wow! You can expect that this will likely bring about some changes to the website over the next few months. Be sure to keep up to date with the site because we have some things planned. In the meantime, what else is happening? Well, I’m leaving for Oz today (and Heidi for Maine). Heidi says she’s not coming because it’s just not warm enough for her. Ouch! Smile.

Long time – no update. I have to say that there hasn’t been all that much happening that is of consequence. Let’s see, hockey is done for the season, spring (summer?) is here with a temperature today of 88 degrees, I’ve been out on my bike this week for the first time this year, we’ve put in an offer in on a house …

Hold on a second. Hold on a second. The hockey is really done, but the summer season starts again in May. The motorbike does work great, but I’m not sure if I’ll be keeping it for any length of time, and the deal on the house didn’t acutally go through. Sound familiar?

See? Told you there was nothing too new happening. I did get to work with a friend today on house construction and decided I needed a career change. It was wonderful to be up on scaffolding with a nailgun and skill saw seeing things actually being done with our hands. Just wish sometimes that it could be our house … Smile!
