Nancy Hotte, Philippe Ciaravola, Charlotte Ciaravola (2 years old), and Alexis Ciaravola (6 years old)

Philippe Ciaravola:	Philippe was born in Annecy, a village located in the French Alps. At the age of 9, his family moved to the Bahamas. 6 years later, his family moved again, this time to Montreal. There, Philippe completed his Masters degree in Computer Science from McGill University. While studying at McGill, Philippe met Nancy. After a brief stint in the private sector, Philippe returned to McGill as Systems Manager for the School of Computer Science where he continues to work.
Nancy Hotte:	Nancy was born in Pointe-aux-Trembles but lived most of her life in Montreal. She attended Nursing School at McGill University with the dream of becoming a Medical Doctor. After graduating from Nursing School, her dream was realized: she was accepted to McGill's Medical School. Unfortunately, the practice of medicine under the Quebec medical system conflicted with her personal views of how medicine should be practiced. After three years of studies, she decided to abandon her medical carreer.  She now practices nursing in a CLSC.
Alexis Ciaravola:	Alexis was born in Montreal in 2001.  He is a joyful and gentle boy.  He loves playing with his "pirates", dancing, and listening to his parents tell him stories of adventures.  New friends are always welcome.
Charlotte Ciaravola:	Charlotte was born in Montreal in 2005. She is a very determined girl and enjoys teasing her brother and parents.  Charlotte loves to play with Alexis, who cares a great deal for her or who is very protective of her.
The Project:	For several years, Nancy and Philippe lived together in Montreal where they worked and raised their children. All seemed well, yet there was something missing from their life: nature.  After saving enough money, they bought a waterfront lot on the shores of Lake Grenier in Lanaudiere with the dream of eventually building a cottage.  With the arrival of Charlotte in 2005 came the opportunity of taking a parental leave from their work.  They decided to take the year off and to build (with a lot of help!) a cottage. During that same year, a large waterfront lot went up for sale on the shores of Lake Grenier... the project was starting to take shape. They gathered all their savings and borrowed the rest from the bank to build cottages in this beautiful setting.
