Early Easter

By
Today we got together with Kevin's family for an early Easter celebration because his dad is home from Fort McMurray this weekend and wouldn't be here next weekend.  We did a big ham and had the family over for an afternoon feast.  Sandy also celebrated his 66th birthday on April 7th, so we had cake and ice cream for dessert.  Yum!

Aside from love from Grandma and Grandpa, Nola also got to play with her cousins and get some lovin' from her Auntie Trish, Great Uncle Bob and Aunt Bernadette!  Cousin Curtis was also able to make it!

Nola before our company arrived...
Our first guest...Grandpa!

The Real Deal

By
I was able to experience something incredible today.   Me, my Grandmother (Oma) and my Mother (Monika) went to see Dwayne, a Psychic Medium. Of course I got the idea from watching some TV shows and thinking about how interesting it would be.   Then I discovered a cousin in Ontario recently went to a Psychic Medium to connect with her passed Father.   As luck and irony should have it, shortly after that I saw a Facebook status of a friend who had had the pleasure of being read by Dwayne and how “blown away” she was.   That was enough for me, and I got his information and booked the appointment. I convinced my Mom and Oma that this should be something the three of us do together.   I didn’t think it would take too much convincing as they are both spiritual to a degree and definitely open minded.   Yep, they agreed. Dwayne agreed to see the three of us consecutively, which I was grateful for, thinking it might be a bit too much Drexler/Schmidt/Cappi...

It's "Kebec", not "Kwebec"

By
We have been in Quebec (pronounced “Kebec” not “Kwebec”) for about the last 6 days. The first thing I have to bring to your attention immediately is how BIG Ontario and Quebec really are! I mean, seriously, if you haven’t looked at a map in a while, pull one out right now and really take a look. Secondly, since getting through Ontario and now having driven through Quebec, there are NO bugs… Now this may SEEM great, but I don’t think it is. Our windshield has been basically clean since we left Winnipeg. Now I hate mosquito bites as much as the next person, but we all have to admit it takes ALL things to make the world go ‘round… Thirdly, we have noticed more smoking! I cannot say for sure that they ACTUALLY have more smokers than the west, but we are sure noticing a lot more people lighting up in general. I think I speak for everyone in the family when I say Quebec has been wonderful. The campground we stayed at in Montreal was about an hour from down town. We haven’t known much a...

Calgary Visit @ 27 weeks

By
I think it's going to be a hold-your-breath kind of week. Baby girls heart beat was at about 53 today.  55 is the danger zone cut off.  It kind of stumped Kevin and I.  The ultrasound tech was super nice and, of course, they don't really know what sort of news they're giving us when they tell us the heart rate.  They don't know why we're there, but we went a little quiet when she said.  I wasn't really expecting that. Today Kevin and I decided to get a disc of pictures of our sweetheart.  She was having a party today while they were trying to take pictures, wiggling and bouncing. She's about 2 1/4 pounds. Her feet measure about 5.4 cm. So with the lower rate, the pediatric cardiologist (the amazing Dr. Fruitman) came into the room immediately to have a look for herself and we had the consult right away.  She asked me how things had been and I told her about this past week.  I took a hard fall on the ice with Nola in my ...
