India Gives Flowers to the Queen

India's Grandpa Schiedel's work was celebrating it's 60th anniversary and decided to have a Queen impersonator come down to assist with the celebrations. India and another little girl presented the Queen with some flowers. Unfortunately some people took this little gathering a little too seriously and Trish was unable to get close enough to take a picture of the girls presenting the flowers.

Our New House!!

Well it is finally a done deal. We take possession of our new house on June 28th. Although the house did not come cheap (with taxes it is $600,000), it is completely a move in with no need to do anything. This is exactly what we need with the new baby. We are so excited to have insuite laundry and a yard that we can hardly contain ourselves. Below is a picture of the front:



Here is a picture of the backyard:



My favourite part of the house is the kitchen:



The house also has a suite which will be a 'must-have' mortgage helper. I was able to rent it in one day! Here is a picture of the suite:
