Oh Sarah...

This is funny!!

It's been so long

Sorry it's been so long and since I've had several complaints that I haven't been keeping the family up to date...I thought I better give an update...

We are pretty much settled in to Edmonton. Although it is getting cold, we are enjoying it. It's defiantly been a nice break from the Texas heat.

Tessa started gymnastics several weeks ago, and is LOVING it. My mom bought her a few leotards back home because I couldn't find any here except for the $60 ones that they sell at the studio...I didn't want to spend the $ on something I don't even know if she would like it. She is such a little ham...

We have been to the Edmonton Zoo, lots of parks, and a few gatherings with some new friends...
was a little homesick lately, don't really know what triggered it but I'm over it again. HA

This weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving...we are thinking that we will go to the pumpkin patch on Saturday and then have Turkey on Monday...it just seems to early. It's funny that I say that because when we moved to Texas I always thought it was strange to be wearing shorts on Thanksgiving!! Gotta love all weather.

We are looking forward to the snow that is forested for next week!! Wonder if the weathermen are as accurate as the ones in Iowa!! Can you sense my sarcasm?!?

Well that is it for now...hope everyone is well.

Back to the grind...

Well after having a FABULOUS 8 weeks off from work (stressing for 4 weeks because we had no where to live, 2 weeks on vacation, and the rest planting my butt on the couch catching up with soaps -haha) I am back to work. I started working for my husband's employer a week ago as the Administrative Assistant to the Community Infrastructure Department...it has been interesting coming from my employer in Texas. It's just different not in a bad or good way...Lots of pros and cons ;)



What's been going on with us? Well really, not a whole lot. Tessa started daycare and that has been very difficult for her, after being home with me 24/7. But she will adjust just like she did before. She was in tears the 2nd day because she wanted to go to work with us. And I thought she didn't really like being with us 24/7. I often wondered if she was bored with me. I always felt like I couldn't keep her occupied long enough.

The weather you ask...

OMG it's much cooler than we are use to for sure. Today I woke up and was wondering what that humming sound was, come to find out our FURNACE kicked on because it had dropped down to 48 degrees last night! Oh I know you are all saying what the heck did you move to Canada for then if you don't like the cold. It's not that I don't like the cold I just thought we would have a few more weeks. I'm not prepared yet. We don't really have any warm clothing yet.

Well back to life...I will try to post some recent funny video's of Tessa.

888

Happy 888 day!!

Trip to Iowa

After traveling almost 3500 miles in 10 day's we are EXHAUSTED!!!

We left for Iowa at 5:30pm on Thursday and arrived in Davenport about 12:30am on Saturday!! We drove straight thru so you add the hours up and it was a LONG trip.

It was a VERY full schedule of events as it always is when we are in the quadcities. With Chris and I from the same city it makes it hard on us to visit all our family and friends. We try as hard as we can to spend equal amounts of time but it just doesn't always work out...

The whole reason we headed home was for Chris grandmother's 80th Birthday!! She is a wonderful lady! She is just one of those people who you are blessed to have in your life. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!

We had such a great time at the farm as we always do. Chris is always at home when he is there. It's always great to see your husband being a character with his family. He makes his uncles laugh...sometimes I just think they think he is nuts!

Here are a bunch of photos from our trip(zoo, farm, and my dad's)


Hope y'all had a great 2 weeks!!

Heading to Iowa...

We are heading to Iowa today, for Chris' grandmothers 80th Birthday Party!! Should be fun visiting with family and friends. I will add lots of photos ;) Have a great couple of weeks, we sure will!!

Stopped raining...

Today it wasn't raining so I thought I would get my bike out and head to the park. Funny story...Chris bought me this $500 bike before we were even married(10 years ago) and I can count on one hand how many times I have ridden this bike. I don't know why I haven't ever ridden it...maybe because when we moved to Texas 5 years ago Chris sold his, so I didn't have a riding partner ;) Sounds good to me...although I'm sure Chris would beg to differ.

Anyway I bought a used childseat for the back of my bike and attached it today so Tessa could just sit back and relax while I took us to the park. Well we were down the road and she was having a great time but when I came to a stop she screamed "Mom, this is re-duc-ulous" She says that so funny that I couldn't help but start laughing and she was really mad at me. I asked her what was wrong and she said "It's re-duc-ulous that there are so many bumps in the road"

She was very upset that it wasn't a smooth ride...oh I tell ya some of the things that come out of her mouth...!! I really don't know where she comes up with this stuff.
