End of an Era

Today we closed the deal on our home in the Mile End. Tomorrow we close on our new home. 5 years on Saint Urbain and we will miss this old block but are looking forward to moving in to our new neighbourhood. I plan on sending a change of address message soon but I'm pretty sure my address book is out of date. Anyways, in case you don't get a message in your email- we're no longer here. More from our new home next week.

Cameron Ave Project


Here is a photo of a completed renovation/ addition project on Cameron Ave in Ottawa - taken a couple of months ago.

STAI project underway


One of our recent projects undergoing partial demolition on the outskirts of Ottawa. This shot was taken a few weeks ago. There were some nasty structural surprises revealed during demolition but that seems to be par for the course with renovation jobs. Should be heading back there in the next week or so to have another look.

Chip off the old block. LL's garderie had their year end Peter Pan spectacle last Friday. LL did very well .... significant improvement from last year's impersonation of a statue. The highlight this year was his rendition of "Comme un arc-en-ciel!" Bravo!!

F1 weekend has come and gone- we took LL down for the open house day so that he could see the crews working on the race cars.

Got to cross the line with LL.... but they made us do our ventriloquist routine.

One of LL's favorite parts of the movie Cars is when Guido and Luigi get to see "a real Michael Schumacher Ferrari!" LL's reaction was more subdued.
