The Whip Cream Incident





We escaped the city this weekend when two of our friends invited us out to their cabin for some country time. We sipped red wine all night and made a delicious dinner followed by an apple pie. Steve and Joe were in charge of whipping the cream...Can you believe that the two of them have somewhere around 18 to 20 years of university schooling between them? Ha!
Thanks Joe and Marie-Noelle!

Dr. Steve working away on his thesis... (instead of saying Doctor we've taken to calling Steve-o Drrr. Rogers, cause he's not really a doctor yet!)

Our super male model taking a time out. Dom, where's your Mac?

Taking the bottom of the blender apart with the ever present kitchen utensil called the pipe wrench!

Sometimes all you can do is laugh and walk away without asking...

Tom & Kathleen






Tom and Kathleen Shearer came for a visit a couple of weeks ago! Steve and I love when people come visit because it gives us an excuse to get out and explore the City too, hint hint to all of you out there that have not come to visit yet! These are a couple of pictures from the day.

The Ultimate Defeat



We played ultimate frisbee this fall in an outdoor fall league. It was tons of fun and a bit different than the summer game. The field is smaller, only 5 players are on the field at the time there is no stop time and no pull except for the initial pull in each half. This means that every time a team scores a point they immediately put the disk down in their end zone and then the other team starts trying to move it up the field from that end zone. It's this little difference in the game which can either work in your favour or not and in our last game - not. We suffered possibly the worst defeat in ultimate history losing 55 to 9 which means that for every 1 point that we got, they got 8! Ouch!! Here's a picture of our sad faces right after the defeat. We didn't let it bother us for long...
