Derek used to live in Alberta and thats where he met Tyson Voorhorst, this is his fiancee Christina Vanderven

One evening we couldn't find Katie and this is where we found her watching tv with Brad VanRaalte

Katie loved the escalators


we drove into Perth one day and checked out the apartments Derek had worked on many years ago.

We stayed with John, Rosanne and Samuel Torenvliet for two nights and what a great time we had together.

John and Rosanne offered to babysit and sent us to enjoy some time in one of our old haunts Fremantle. the above picture is the Fremantle Harbour at night.

Supper on the Mandurah foreshore


From Busselton we drove up to Cooinda where a dear friend lives and we spent the better part of the afternoon there. Katie loved playing with Clive as you can see on the pictures..


Katie did a lot of this every afternoon
