Oh, Canada?

     Well it has been an interesting couple of weeks. Just so everyone knows, we are for sure going to Calgary. We are looking to be out of here no later than the 15th of April. That is when we told the couple who is watching our house that they could move in. Jeff will actually be going on Monday for two weeks and then flying back to come and help us pack and get moved up there. We are still not sure where we are living because someone in the company is basically in charge of that. We told them what we would like and hope they find those things within the budget they have given us. So in the mean time we have been trying to get some things done on the house before we go. Luckily, it has been really pretty nice here and we have been able to do some things in the yard. One of the things that we did was have our apple tree in the back trimmed and had a huge ugly juniper pulled out of our front yard.


    This is the hole it left in the ground. It doesn't look like much but we are not sure what to do with it now. It is nice not to have that monstrosity there anymore. It was pretty horrid and going into the neighbors yard.
    Also about two weeks ago my mom decided to come and visit me. She is has the ability to fly free and so up she came. It is has been so fun to have her here. Jane has taken some time to warm up to her. It seems that Jane decided lately that she only wants her mom (her dad is not too happy about it). We have been watching movies, taking walks, doing puzzles and just talking and hanging out a lot.
Well then about a week ago my sister Rachel and 2 of her kids came into town. She is a midwife and came to help deliver some twins for a woman out here.


 My niece Mabel just lover her Nana.


 Mabel has been having such a fun time with Jane. She plays with her all of the time and her and Dean have been making Jane laugh a ton. The only problem is that my sister and Mabel got sick just when they got here. So they have been doing a lot of sleeping. You can tell a little in the pic with my mom that mabel is just not feeling good. They are both coughing and have congestion. We keeping hoping that Jane doesn't get it. She hasn't so far, except that she has had kind of goopy eyes. Nothing else so far yet.


 My sister will probably not be very happy about me posting this picture, but oh well.


Mabel brought a bunch of her own toys and dolls. Her favorite thing to do is to have Jane sit on the floor and surround her with the toys. As you can tell, Jane is really sitting up well on her own. She can sit for long periods of time without falling.


This is the Jane picture of the week. I know she is not smiling or anything but she just looks so dang cute.
So if anyone wants to talk to Jeff, you had better call him this weekend or you may not be able to talk to him for 2 weeks. Even after that we are going to figure out what to do about having a phone and such once we get up there. We will let everyone know how to get a hold of us. Also, anyone is welcome to come and visit us once we are there :)

  1. It was so fun to talk to everyone on Skype the other day. Jane just can't get any more adorable. Congratulations on taking out the juniper--from our days on grounds I still can't stand junipers! Can't wait to come visit in Calgary!

  2. Oh and I love that the doll's bum is front and center in the Jane pic of the week! It looks like he is doing some naked yoga--downward facing dog. Jane is looking at you like when will you notice there is a naked bum in the picture?

  3. Jane does know all of the Yoga moves since I did them while I was pregnant. She is just trying to spread the joys of Yoga with Mabel's dolls. Can't wait for you to come and visit Meg but remember what I said about Annemarie :)
