Been Some Time I Know....




WOW, time sure does fly by! I can't believe that our last post was in February...It's now May. We just got back from Vancouver yesterday and are adjusting back into regular life. We had a great time out in Roberts Creek with Auntie Gwen, Uncle Ron, Great Momma, and of course, can't forget Kelly! Kelly is Jackie's dog...abi fell in love with him. Everywhere she went, Kelly was sure to be right beside her. The only time the two didn't get along was when abi was driving the Barbie car, and Kelly had to chase after those pesky wheels.

Abi also got to see (and feel) the ocean for the very first time. She kept calling it a river...good ole prairie girl! She also got to go on her first ferry ride...which was so nice. Jennifer and Sue picked us up at the airport and abi took to Jennifer right away...it was Jennifer this, Jennifer that...ALL DAY LONG!

The city was amazing. I could get used to that place. It was so nice to go to bed at night looking out at the mountains and the ocean, and getting up in the morning with the sun rising up behind the mountains.

We got to see Sarah as well, who is 6 months pregnant with her first child...a boy! She let us in to the Capilano Suspension Bridge...my legs have never felt so much like jello before! Scary, but very beautiful scenery!

Abi and Billy toured all over the downtown area during the day, while I attended my conference. They walked all the way from our hotel, through Stanley Park and back...quite a distance. They got to see whales, dolphins, sharks and all kinds of different fish.

Billy is happy to be back and as far away as possible from "Robson Street" as he can get...he's decided he doesn't like his Wife anywhere near that street!! Me, I love it...SOOO much shopping, soooo little time.

Now, for news on the house...IT'S ALL DONE!!! Everything is complete. The kitchen is done, the father-daughter project complete...well, it actually was the father, while daughter supervised project. We are happy and settled...FINALLY. As always, go to our on-line photo album to check out the before and after pics of the kitchen...HUGE accomplishment...no divorce, and in fact, there was no fighting (okay, so maybe a scrap or two, but nothing earth shattering).


well, check back later!

I'm visiting your blog via Joy's blog. I was just looking through your pictures and I believe that I met Billy MANY years ago at The Salvation Army Beaver Creek Camp near Saskatoon.
Blessings to you and your beautiful family. Your little girl is absolutely adorable!
