Welcome Chloe Elizabeth Dale

My good friend in Canada, Lisa and her husband Chris welcomed their first baby on December 12 at 9.52pm (Canadian Time). She weighed 7 lbs 2 oz (approx 3.26 kg) and 20 1/2 inches long (52.07 cm).

Welcome to the world Chloe Elizabeth Dale.

Our Fence - Before

Our new fence was finally installed in early November. Now we have to paint it. A project for our Christmas break maybe?

Plans have been drawn up for our deck which hopefully we'll be able to have done sometime next February, depending on the cost and if our builder is available. I can't wait!!!

Our Fence - After

As you can see in these pictures, the ground is incredibly brown and dry. We are going through a drought right now and are currently on level 4 water restrictions which means that we are only allowed to water our gardens on certain days of the week and only with buckets or watering cans.
