Well I thought maybe I would be motivated enough to do the deck and landscaping myself... but it turns out I'm far more selfish in the summer so I just paid someone else to do it.
If you forgot what the original house looked like here is the original front of the house with trees and without trees.
Oh and Sophia is still alive and kicking. Here are some pictures of her: Whoa!, Outside on a windy day, with her pigs, new born dander, camping, first airplane ride, bathing in a sink, after bath hair, at the US Open Beach volleyball event in Cincinnati, bonnet, just being cute... |

Well Shannon did it. We welcome Sophia Morgan Dickie into this world at 2:10 am on July 14, 2011. She weighed 7lbs 11oz. We all knew she would come into this world with a full head of hair. She also had excellent working vocal cords the moment she came out of her past home.
Shannon toughed it out without the aid of pharmaceuticals and remained relatively PG throughout the whole experience.
Big thanks to our wonderful Midwife Noreen and good friend and Doula Wynne. You helped make the whole birthing processes a wonderful experience.
Shannon didn't realize she was in labour until 6PM yesterday. It took her another 8 hours of labour and about 35 minutes of pushing for Sophia to emerge into this world. |

Shannon and I got away for a June canoe down Milk River (southern border of Alberta). Usually Milk River is a slow moving rock avoiding river but with all the rain we've had they said it's the most water the river has seen in 12 years.

We have finally reclaimed our home. Many of you know that we have been sharing our home with Shannon's Sister and her family (husband Mike and two kids Ben and Julie). There were some tough times and it's really nice to have our space back. To fill the space of our departed guests we decided to adopt two adorable little kittens. I would like to introduce you to the newest additions of our Dickie family, Abby (left) and Gabby (right). You'll probably be seeing more cat photos around the enek.net website. :)
Shannon and I continue to be super active with sports. Shannon joined an indoor soccer team and I mostly keep busy with indoor volleyball. Indoor isn't nearly as fun as beach volleyball. We are both super excited for our trip to Kauai in Febuary for all the beach action we can handle.
We also took a little vacation to Panorama last weekend. We hit the Panorama slopes for opening weekend. It was still pretty fun but there was definitely some ski damage trying to find some more interesting runs... You know you're getting old when you spend just as much time inside the ski chalets as you do outside on the slopes. We also headed to Golden's Moonraker trails. We got a little turned around in the trails and went for a much longer ski than we intended, but luckily we got out before dark and headed back home for a nice soak in Radium Hot Springs. :)
Happy Holidays Everyone!

So many of you know that I've already done the Skyline hike a couple of times. The first two times I did the hike I did it with a small pack and ran it in a single day. This 45km hike can be done in about 10 hours with minimal stopping and jogging on the flat parts.
You can view all my photos here. |

It's been a pretty busy summer so far. We have some new squatters living in our house. Shannon's sister, Jane, brother-in-law, Mike and their two kids Ben and Julie have been living with us since May. It's not as bad as it could be... they seem to be pretty well behaved... They are planning to stay with us until their house is built which should be around December.
Since the house is always full of people, I try to spend as little time as possible at my house. I've been keeping busy playing beach volleyball 5 times a week and slo-pitch once a week. What this means is I've had very little time to work on the house.
In other news we had an unplanned uprooting of a tree. 1/4 of our beautiful mountain ash came down in a huge wind storm. It was a pretty crazy morning chopping and hacking this tree to clear room for the vehicles. Luckily nothing got damage during this fall... except our moose head skull which was embedded into the base of the fallen tree. |
