May, 2009

Nathan has finished and installed the St Michael's piece as of the First of May! His first piece that he's completed from start to finish with his own foundry! We celebrated as a family by going out for sushi to a real restaurant-all 7 of us! We're all thrilled...and Nathan's now onto the next piece-a very publicized piece for next May, celebrating the Canadian Navy's 100th Anniversary. It's a piece called "The Homecoming" with a Sailor just home from sea and his little girl running to him with her little dog. It'll be installed right around the corner from the Inner Harbour with the Parliament Buildings in the background. Acacia has posed for the little girl, although they may put another face on her if it's finanicially beneficial! Acacia was a wonderful model though and said she didn't mind missing watching Zaboomafoo at Nana's because it was so much more important...and besides, Daddy bought her a brownie with hot chocolate, whipped cream and sprinkles, and we all heard a lot about that!
