So many changes!

No, he isn't free!  He was helping me pack so I took a photo of him in a box :)

July has been a very busy month for us!  Rob and I bought a house in Maple Ridge, will be moving soon, and I start my new biology job on Monday!  I will be working for an environmental consulting firm in Surrey and am really looking forward to it.  This means I will be leaving the farm after 10 years.  What a big change.

Tyler at Regionals June 2008

We went to Regionals last month and Tyler did a great job!  Our goal was 300 points, and we got about 302 - go Tyler go!  Toby will get to go next year :)

Our Foster Dog "Gigi"!

This is Gigi:

After we lost Cody, I contacted BC Chihuahua Rescue about possibly fostering a dog from them. They are the group that we adopted our Toby from about a year and a half ago. They said yes, and we have had our foster dog Gigi for three weeks now. She is about one year old and is a teeny tiny chihuahua! She is shy with people at first, but once she is comfortable she is really, really funny and playful. She and Toby love each other and are really funny to watch playing!

Cody April 1, 1995 - March 2, 2008

Dear friends and family

It is with great sadness that we write this post as Cody passed away yesterday, one month shy of her 13th birthday.
Rob got Cody when she was 3 weeks old as her mother wouldn’t nurse her, so Rob did. She was 100% solid with people and loved kids. Cody spent a lot of time skiing with her Dad while he ski patrolled. Without Cody, we wouldn’t have Tyler as she made it possible for him to stay home alone – she was a wonderful big sister to him and taught him how to relax! Cody loved to swim and chase sticks, she also loved to wrestle with her brothers.
She will be missed.

Rob and Erika
