First time in the saddle

This is the Place Heritage Park

Here we are at 'This is the Place' Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. Our good friends Joe and Leslie took Charlie (and his family) for his birthday. The petting corral was a big hit.

Hi there!

Artists in residence

Off to Church

Do you know how long it takes to get your hair just right? It's exhausting.

Laura and Grace

Three Wee Gels

Happy Birthday Jane!

Jane is Two

Checking out Jane's Birthday Cake

Laura made Jane's cake and put it in the fridge before the big event.

New Reality Show

We've been approached by a TV producer here who wants to do a 'Super-Nanny' meets 'Burke's Backyard' program.

Gardening

After some initial skepticism regarding dirt and grass etc, the children are now enjoying helping in the yard.

It's Official

We took Jane to the doctor and she ran some tests. Our suspicions were confirmed. Jane is a monkey.

Gracie at three and three quarters

Grace is enjoying the outdoor lifestyle and exploring our home, yard and the neighbourhood. She is constantly upbeat and willing to try new things.

Josie at four months

You'd think that after living in three continents Josie would have picked up a few languages by now.....

The 'Good Room'

Visitors are not allowed past this room.

Our Home in Draper, Utah, USA

This is our new home in Utah. Every national holiday that is associated with patriotism some young men in the neighbourhood put flag poles and flags in our yard (and everyone else's). They just appear in the morning, like mushrooms.

The Rockies

This is the view from our backyard of a mountain called 'Lone Peak' - a part of the Wasatch Front, which is a little stretch of the Rocky Mountains. This shot was taken in April 2007. The snow is gone now but we hear a rumour that it will be back in November or December.

Family Room and Kitchen/Dining

This is where we spend a lot of our time in our new home in Draper, Utah.
