It’s A Boy!

Topic: My Story| No Comments »

Jr. is on his way. I’m going to have a son!  So we had to go buy a little blue outfit today.
Ultrasounds shows he is strong, healthy, good looking and lots of brains, just like his dad! We had to get some extra tests done but everything looks good. They say he is big but then again all our babies were very long. He will be the first of his generation to carry on the family name.

Grrrrrr Dandelions

Those pesky little weeds! I am training my little girls to hunt down and destroy dandelions. Although right now they think they should blow the seeds all over the lawn. This was in Alberta, at least 600 km from home so I didn’t mind so much. Besides it is funny to watch them blow as hard as they can to see only one little seed float through the air.

A Looooooooong way from home

We drove nearly 5000 kilometers and our little girls did great. It was their first long trip and they got to see 23 of their relatives which includes seeing 3 great grandmas for the first time. We also visited a car and airplane museum, a zoo, a train museum and several thousand bails of hay. After many hours of driving in a perfectly straight line, I am happy to be back where the only straight road is in the parking lot of Superstore and you wear out your brakes in a month or two.

I did enjoy seeing the harvesting and old farm houses. The best part though was seeing our grandmas, uncles and aunts again. It was a regular trip when I was a child and this trip brought back many great memories. I am not sure if our kids are old enough to remember this long drive but I took many pictures and they seemed to enjoy it.

Thanks for everyone who let us stay with you.
