Our Home


Finally getting some pictures up of our home. The floor actually looks pretty good here but in real life it is in rough shape. My plan is to restore the hardwood throughout but first priority is to get the foundation fixed so we are level!





























This is Ocean's room. Small but cozy and she does a great job of tidying.

September!!!!!

Well, that was summer......I am always sad to see it end but I really think it was one of our best so far. Top of the list was the trip to the shore of course but we've also had a great time hanging out in our hammock in our yard. Did you know that this hammock can hold Me Jon Brad and Ocean. The trees stayed standing too. We had campfires in our fire pit and the boys spent alternate weeks working with Derek in calgary building decks and fences. Soon they should know enough to do some work on our house for me!

I was really concerned about leaving Heritage for a new job because I just couldn't imagine finding something that I ejoyed so much or that did as much for me personally but God is good. My job at the Chateau is fun, rewarding and satisfying. Thanks Lord.

The kids have started at the local public school....I think they will be fine.

I was invited to a small group at the home of one of the ladies I work with. It is just across the street which is super handy and they are a nice group but......I think I was being set up. They are all married couples except for me and....surprise, surprise, my friends 38 year old son. Mmmm...as I am working on being open this year I guess this will be good practice for me.and mom, he is a baker...not quite a cook but baker is close...actually he's a teacher but is only subbing......

that's about it for me

My roomate

auntie Erica came all the way from England to spend some time with us as well. What a brave and gracious lady! unfortunately we didn't have enough rooms to give her one of her own so the poor lady had to room with me and my snoring..sorry Erica. She however is a very quiet and tidy roomate, I definitely got the better deal there. She got the men out playing tennis every morning and got my boys watching Wimbledumb (that's what they called it but they did get addicted and we will be playing in Three Hills.) I surprised Brad with my natural athletic ability L.O.L

My kids favourite expression that they learned from Erica is "Are you telling Porky Pies?"said with and english accent of course.

Dad and hes girls. I love seeing Dad with his family of origin and I think he loves having them around.



He's also the best grampa and is so patient. The kids all love him. Thanks for that Dad.

some times you just have to live in the moment and even if you don't have a suit the waves will call your name. This evening was so beautiful and we just couldn't resist
