The Full Tree and my favorite balls - Last day of 30 day photo challenge
November 30th, 2010
I wanted to be crazy creative for the last day of the photo challenge - but I got noth'in. So, since I've been teased so much about how many lights I have on my Christmas tree - except by the Jensen's who claim to have 1 more than me - I am posting the full picture of my tree. For those of you who think we don't know how to hang decorations on a tree we meant to have the bottom bare becau ...
We finally put up our Christmas tree today. Since we have a 1 1/2 year old who loves to destroy everything in his path there are no decorations at this height. So it's a kinda weird looking tree with only the top portion having ornaments. Every year the most stressful part of decorating is watching our 
My wife is in charge of the Purdy's Chocolate drive for Project Dance, dance studio. After the truck rolled up yesterday, and hours of sorting, this is what our living room looked like at 1:00 in the morning. I believe the picture is made perfect with me in the middle. For those of you who don't know me that well - 
I haven't posted in a while - this challenge is harder than I thought - especially while travelling so much. My pic for today is off my patio at our hotel in Squamish. This is the Garibaldi Springs Golf Resort golf course, no I did not play golf. As a plug for the hotel - it was a great hotel, awesome rooms, and the staff was excellent...highly recommend. I wish I had time to walk aroun ...

The 2010 REALTOR® Care Blanket Drive is full steam ahead once again this holiday season. A little history for those who don't know what this is. Back in 1995 some Vancouver REALTORS® saw a need for warm clothing and blankets for the homeless. They ask their colleagues to donate what they could and that very first year collected over 600 bags. Since then Fraser Valley and Chilliwack have ... 
I attended the 2010 Real Estate Foundation Land Awards this evening. The event celebrates those who have shown leadership in environmental construction or development. The key note speaker was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who was fantastic. He spoke without notes for about an hour on environmental issues that he has worked on in the past and continue to work on in the present. He had some very ...

I was crawling into bed and all of a sudden realized I didn't have my day 15 pic yet...so snapped a photo of our dog. This is 
My wife mocked me a bit this morning because I woke up and without doing anything else I went and made 
I actually had some nice shots of the valley looking down from Eagle Mountain to post - however - while enjoying a little DQ I snapped this photo of my son with my iPhone. My wife 
I am having a tough time with the photo challenge. Missed the last 2 days. One I was travelling all day and yesterday was my first day back working and was just crazy busy. I decided today my photo would support remembrance day, thus the shot from the cemetery. I used the normal point and shoot feature, accented the contrast and green saturation. I then cropped and used a Guassian blur ... 
There are tons of amazing properties around 
I missed my day number 3 pic because I was travelling so this is my number 4 pic, but actually number 3. I didn't get out much today to take pics but I did manage a shot of our hotel room looking at it from the courtyard. Our room is the second last from right at the top. Awesome rooms - great hotel. Nothing done to this photo. I liked it just the way it was :)

Just made it with 20 minutes to spare. Crazy day getting the kids ready for grandma as the wife and I prepare to leave for New Orleans tomorrow morning. We are in Vancouver for the evening at the Fairmont and leave bright and early at 5 am. This is the best I could do at such a late our. It's our view from the hotel room looking at the airport. Didn't do much. Crop, a little contrast, ... 
Here is my entry for today. It's a pic of my computer with the blog page set to the same picture with that blog page set to the same picture. Cup of 
Here is my November 1st entry in the 
Here are the current numbers for real estate in Chilliwack. Again, 2009 was an abnormal year so comparing year to year really has no value. On a seasonally adjusted basis the real estate activity in Chilliwack rose by over 20%. It seems that, as we expected, the HST put buying a house on hold for a lot of people. However we felt it would only takes a few months for the average consumer ...
