Fa La La La La...

Oh...Silly me. It's not December...It's May!!!!!
Can you believe that we woke up to an inch of snow yesterday morning. I couldn't believe it. And it has been so cold. You definitly have to wear at least a sweatshirt when you go outside. This is just ridiculous. I can't wait to come home and go to the beach.
Jacob and I will be home on Monday, and will spend most of the time packing up the house. Jason will be coming on the 27th to help pack up all his tools and stuff. The three of us will then fly back here together on Wednesday, May 30th.
Can't wait to be back in the Okanagan. The weather better be good.
See you all soon.

Happy Mother's Day!


Happy Mother's Day everyone. I hope that all you mommies had a great day. We had a very nice day. Jason had the day off, so we went out for a Mother's day brunch at the Fort Nelson Hotel. The setting was very nice, although the service was not so hot. I'm just glad that we were able to enjoy the day as a family.


After Jacob's nap, we walked to the park. It was such a beautiful day, and of course Jason complained about how hot it was. I thought it was just perfect. There isn't even a lot of bugs out yet. It is very tolerable to spend time outside at this time of year.
Jacob loves going to the park and watching the other kids. He is getting so independant and tries to do everything on his own. Climbing the ladder, going down the slide, and standing up on this rocking toy below. We have to remind him that he is still little and that he needs help. I'm sure I will be in the emergency room with broken bones more that once. He seems to have no fear. Here are some pictures of us at the park. All in all, we had a very nice day.













Happy Mother's Day to all!

SOLD!

Well, we finally sold our house. 3 months with no offers, then 2 offers in one day. It worked out well because we got our asking price for it. What a relief. Now we can start looking for a house here and get out of this one bedroom apartment. The closing date is June 28th, but we'll have the house empty when we come home in May. We're hoping that Jason can come home for a few days as well to pack up all his tools. We'll put everything in storage there until we find a house here. Then we will rent a u-haul truck and move everything up here once we have a house to put it in.
Hope everyone is well. I may be asking for help in the next 2 weeks for help moving stuff into storage. I will have no vehicle when we are home, so help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

We're coming home!

Hello everybody,
Jacob and I are coming home for a week in May. We'll be home from May 21 to 28th. I just need to do some things around the house that will hopefully make a difference in selling it. Also, Jason has been working such long days that I just need to get out of this apartment. It is tight living in a one bedroom apartment. I just really want our house to sell so that we can buy a house here. That will be a big help in meeting people if we were in a family oriented neighbourhood.
I have posted these pictures of Jacob sleeping because I am sad to say that we are down to one nap a day. I have so enjoyed the morning and afternoon nap, but now he just has one midday nap, and sometimes it is less than 2 hours, although sometimes it is 3 hours. He is definitely ready for bed at 7:30, which is nice. Then Jason and I have our time together in the evening. I love my little man to bits, but he has been showing his temper so much lately and it's driving me crazy. I enjoy my downtime when he is sleeping.
We can't wait to see everybody in 3 weeks. Mommies, we'll have to get all the kids together for a playdate.
