Thanks Madi! Those were awesome things to be grateful for. Dan went to Alberta last weekend to pick up the van and had the chance to visit with family.
It's amazing how big these girls are getting! I think I've only really seen Abbey as a baby, so it's fun to see her growing up.
This was the scene Dan arrived in and left from. It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it was like that over the mountains, while here it has been 14 degrees and sunny. I do miss it though. My body still thinks we haven't had winter and is waiting for it to come. I miss the frosty trees and snowy days and bright sunshine in the cold. I know everyone in Alberta thinks that's crazy, but there's something to be said for four distinct seasons.
Hope all is well with everyone.
I wish I could have been there for your baptism Madi. You looked so beautiful in your white dress with your dad. Million dollar smiles both of you. It was so nice to get your call tonight Madi.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here in Calgary has been around o celsius and so melting has begun. It is beautiful when the trees have that crystal white look on cold mornings. Spring is anticipated though. I may be moving back to Cardston after the tax season.
Gord's brother Jim and his wife were here tonight. They are planning on moving in with us for awhile starting in March. They sold their house in Airdrie and have bought property and a house in Campbell River, where Gord wants to go salmon fishing this summer. They have lots of land to camp on. They will also be moving their mobile up there and put it beside their new residence. Jim will be working here in Calgary (he's a veterinarian) until maybe December.
You're right about Abigail. She's so big, the picture doesn't show her personality. She's such a happy girl, and talks a lot. She always says, "hi Gram Gram, when she sees me."
Love you guys, and miss you.
