On the eve of Jan 27, Chloe Olivia made her
entrance! (albeit a little late...) 9lbs, 21.5"
What a cutie, unfortunately for my poor sister,
she seems to have her days/nights mixed up.
Here we are! (Excuse the grainy photo...taken
by Curt's blackberry)
Sabrina, practicing her crawling, which she
just learned this morning!

Mmm...George's!

It's been a couple of years since we first heard
about George's restaurant. We've only gone there
a few times (always when really hungry) and
have never been disappointed!
Awesome burgers and Greek food!

Aimee's Christmas Holdidays

Here is a picture of Aimee's Xmas and birthday gift
For Christmas this year, all Aimee wanted was
"a show saddle". So, together with her grandparents,
that's what we got her (of course that also includes
the next 3 birthdays and Christmas'...)
On the 29th of December she flew to Edmonton
to spend 9 days with her BFF, Maggie. Two hours
after her plane landed back in Wpg on Jan 7 (not
to mention she got to miss 4 days of school) she
went to see Mariana's Trench in Winkler.

Dashing Through the Snow...

Peyton was very excited when I found our old
dog harness. Now she could make her own
dog sledding team, she figured.
Ruby didn't mind and pulled her effortlessly
up and down the driveway. Good times!

Christmas 2009
Our first Christmas on the farm! Peyton became
a believer in Santa again (thanks to a certain
website). So sorry she had to be the one to break
the hearts of believing 3 & 4 year olds at daycare...
Look! An Alaskan Husky!
This cemented the belief that Santa was real...
Sabrina's first Christmas!

Renovations...ugh
Well...it has been a long, very long, 4 months to
say the least. If you ever want to put your
marriage and your sanity to the test, just renovate
an old house. Here are some 'before' and
'after' shots. Enjoy 'cause God knows we are!
Ahh! Finally, a functional kitchen. I can't even
tell you how much I love this kitchen. It is perfect,
perfect, perfect! If you ever get the chance to
buy a display model, jump on it! You get "all the
bells and whistles" for a fraction of the cost.
I remember the day when Curt took out that wall.
It was fall and also fly season. That really sucked
hard.
Fortunately, my husband is a genius and oh, so
very talented! He likes to remind me of how much
money his skills have saved us thus far!
The Kitchen. I won't say anymore. (Note: the
microwave. This was before we splurged on
the toaster oven)
Our dining room now. We still have a long
ways to go, but it is so rewarding seeing progress,
I just had to share! :)

December!

On Thursday, Dec 17, Peyton's kindergarten
class had their Christmas party and invited parents.
They sang some songs and had a few poems.
Then it was time to play games and eat goodies.
