Today.

The boys started a camp this week for hockey. They will be working on some skills for the next few days. They are enjoying it!

Sarah is cutting more teeth. Poor girl! Two molars on top and the eye teeth on top all cutting through together. She has been a little cranky this week and now I can understand why.

Life is getting busy here. I have a feeling it will be that way for awhile.

Busy and Good!

Life has been so busy at our household. New school routines, a nanny, Mommy back to work, Daddy in a new job, camping, some unpacking, some yard work, shopping and daily life of course!

My new school has been great! All so friendly. I am very thankful.

The Nanny is awesome! She has been doing a GREAT job with the kids, and she is just such a nice person. I pray that the papers we just sent in don't take too long. We applied for her work permit and I am praying that we won't have to wait long. So if you have a minute, say a quick prayer for a fast return on the paperwork!

Kids have also enjoyed their new school. Jacob came home today and told me all about a man named Terry Fox. He did a pretty good job explaining some of his story. He is sooooo excited about his agenda book. He checks to make sure I have seen it and signed it. Quite funny.

Nathan has not complained about going to school. We had some rough drop offs last year so that is a huge improvement. He has been coming home and sharing with us some of the new songs he has been learning. He's so proud of himself. Very cute!

Sarah is growing up sooooo fast! She is all over! She loves to push her stroller around the house and is starting to say some more words. She is turning into such a little girl! I love it!

How will baby number 4 fit into this mix? Time seems to fly by so I am sure January will be here before we know it!

What's Up?

I was at a good friend's house for dinner last week and she made this awesome salad. I liked it so much I made it tonight for dinner. It was a Cobb Salad. Chris said he loved it. So thanks Kirsten for making the salad for me! Even the boys ate the hard boiled eggs! Sarah chowed down on the bacon, but who doesn't love crispy bacon! Mmmmmmmm gooooooood!

I started work for real today. Can't really believe that! The summer is almost gone!

I am in the process of still getting settled. Main floor is 90% there. Except for the boxes we keep bringing in to unpack! Upstairs is all done except for one box of clothes I won't be wearing anytime soon! The Play area still has about three boxes. That leaves the garage and basement. I am going to try to attempt a little nit everyday. The problem is, I can't move a lot of stuff because it is too heavy. So poor Chris gets stuck with a lot of the heavy work and me just bossing him around. Doesn't sound like too bad a deal....for me!:)

Tonight Chris is putting together the trampoline and organizing all the outside furniture. I think the mountain of boxes we have outside gets picked up Wednesday by the moving company. I can't wait until they are GONE!

Well it has been a very busy time for us! But we are happy to be home in Calgary!

Point form update:

• our stuff didn't all fit on the truck (first person took up more than they expected)
• painted our family room, laundry room, and Sarah's bedroom
• unpacked for two days straight- I was thankful Chris was home to help!
• went to Music Camp - had a great time! The kids especially!
• back home to the unpacking, but as of today the kitchen, living room and dinning room are free of boxes!
• we get a new land line number tomorrow sometime
• our stuff that didn't make the load comes tomorrow as well
• Chris is off to TO today
• kids first day with the nanny is tomorrow

So much to do and not a lot of time to finish up! I have some pictures to post from some of our Eastern adventures. Just need to hook up the main computer and then I can upload some of them. Sorry for the delay in posting!

One week today

• my packers will have packed
• the truck will be loaded and on its way to Calgary
• my suitcases will be packed
• the cleaners will have cleaned
• Chris will have his last day at work
• I Will board a plane with 3 kids and 2 dogs

Seriously, doesn't seem real, but something tells me the flight out West with my 15 month old will bring me right back to reality! Oh the fun!

Sarah has had a fever the last couple of days. Hopefully it will all run its course and be done before the big day! She is saying the word BABY now, it is very cute.

Boys are doing well. They keep asking about when they will get to see their friends. Hopefully, they will get to see some of their friends this coming weekend.

Jacob wanted to know if his room would still be painted the same. He is so funny about that stuff.

I will miss things about Waterloo for sure, but there are somethings I WILL NOT MISS!

1. Renting - I hate it! I will be glad to be back in my OWN house again
2. Gardening - Tooooooooooooo much of it here!
3. Pool - yes I do not enjoy having a pool. Probably has a lot to do with renting part and the fact that the rainy season we have had makes it difficult to keep up with the pool.
4. Ashfault driveways
5. Iron bar stool chairs

This house might be bigger by actual square footage, but our house in Calgary has a layout I like so much better. Looking forward to it! I miss my kitchen, appliances that work, kid friendly backyard. 10-12 days and all my stuff should be there.

Van is on a truck on on its way to Calgary. I can't believe we are half way through the month of July! I have downloaded some pictures to our other computer so I will post something more exciting later.

The boys are off on their big day! I hope they have lots of fun!

What is going on here.

We finally got the lap top back so hopefully I can get back to some regular blogging!

I have been disappointed with the weather here! I still have yet to feel the heat! Or really even the humidity thing! Like come on already lets have some regular sunshine! I don't want to see anymore weather forecasts with rain drops coming out of the clouds! I only have a few more weeks to enjoy this pool!

The boys are going to half day camps this week. They play games, do crafts, and more games. Some of their friends from school also registered so they were quite happy to see them when they got there. It made for quite a quiet afternoon around here.

Sarah is doing well. Maybe a little too well. She has figured out how to pull her chair over to the couch and use it to climb up onto the couch! She is so proud of herself when she does it too! It is amazing how much she is changing. No baby here anymore. We have a big girl now. Her hair is getting longer. She looks so cute with little bows in her hair but she won't keep them in. Her hair is almost long enough for pig tails! If I manage to find some really small elastics I will post a picture. She loves getting her hair brushed so it will be funny to see her reaction to the pig tails!

Moving stuff is all booked. I just need to book my flights home! That will be on this weeks to do list! I have a few other things I need to settle but other than that the big stuff is done.

Next week we are looking forward to visitors from the West! Time is flying by again and before we know it we will be unpacking boxes in Calgary.
