Count Down to the Move


We are moving in two weeks to a house in Diamond Cove (with a yard!!!!!). We went for a Sunday walk to check out the nearby paths through Fish Creek Park. It was beautiful and we can't wait to explore more in and around our new home!

Wedding Party


We recently attended my beautiful cousin Tiffany's wedding to Drew. It was a lovely evening and although it was way past bedtime here is proof that the kids had a great time especially when the dance got started...




Fireworks

During the Stampede there are firework here in Calgary every night. We were feeling brave one night and woke the kids up at 10:30 to head out for the show. When we went in to Eloise's room to get her she started stirring and Bryce went over to her bed and asked 'Do you want to go outside' she replied with a very enthusiastic 'uh huh' and got out of bed as fast as she could. The whole way to the fireworks she was super excited kicking her legs and squealing. What could be better than going out in the middle of the night on a great adventure? We got to the overlook as the first set of fireworks started 'oh wow' then we made our way over to find Darrell and Kelly and cousins to watch the next big set. While waiting Eloise feasted on her popcorn and kept pointing at the sky and saying 'mores'. Sam was super content to watch the adventure and was not startled by the fireworks at all. Kids sure so make everything more fun and exciting. Both kids curled right back up in their beds and went back to sleep when we got home.

The popcorn feast!
All ready to go!
