Some fixing up we did this summer...

The office, playroom, tv room with lots of cupboards for lego and bioncle building. As well, shelves to display the many creations made by creative boys!







This summer we painted the top two floors white; and lay gray carpets. Here is the boys' room.

More fun photos!!!

New Camera

Here I am taking pictures during our "family meeting". Chris is the judge; presiding over the case of Max vs. Bruno; seems like one hit the other; then one pushed the other, and lots of tears and sadness were the result.



I lost my camera on Max's 9th Birthday....how could I do that!!! So, there are no pictures of our fun day!
However, here is my new camera: a Canon Powershot S95!!! I love it!

A day with Bruno!!!

A walk in the forest!!!

Back to School ...how did it happen?

I find myself saying, "How did Max become a grade 4 student?" or "Bruno, aren't you going into grade one?" No....grade two!






Time slips away and the boys grow up. Inside I cry a little bit; but I am also incredibly happy for their new adventures ahead...

Family Motto

I always tell the boys "reading is the most important thing". Bruno told me, "I thought it was love". That is my Bruno.

So we came up with a motto: "Love, read, and play". These are the most important things.

A Little Chess.....a Little Organization.....

The boys with Mommy getting ready for the school year in the classroom.....

Dog walks at English Bay

Kits Pool once again...for the last days of summer!

Back to School Lunch at Jules

Our favourite little Gastown eatery..Jules...great food....happy times before we head back to school!

Seattle Woodland Park Zoo

Our favourite place in Seattle; can't believe that is has been 4 years since we were last here.


The animals were exotic and stunning; but in another way it was so terribly sad as all the animals are endangered. Every single one....a bit overwhelming. However, it was fantastic for the boys to see and learn about these magnificent creatures. Time to get the boys involved in conservation efforts.

Taking the Train to Seattle

For an adventure, we took the train to Seattle for the day.....I believe the boys' point of reference was the Hogwart's Express; so they were a little surprised we did not have our own room!!!





However, it was lots of fun and a beautiful scenery!

Family Reunion 2010

Our 10th anniversary of the Robertson Family Reunion.....here cousin Linda and Hollis are celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary!

Great job cousins; we are looking forward to more reunions with toasting the Haggis!
