The House
So we’re fairly settled in our new house now. We’ve unpacked everything, organized most of our stuff, put up pictures and hosted quite a few visitors and BBQs. People are often shocked when they hear we only move in a few weeks ago, saying that it looks like we’ve lived here for years, so we’re […]

The Armstrongs Visit
For our second week of house habitation, my parents came by for a visit! We were able to check out the local paths (there are lots) and they made great babysitters while Michelle and I checked out Folkfest with some friends and I ran some errands and did more work around the house. Mom and […]

Jan and Stan
Our second set of visitors were Jan and Stan! They arrived the day that Guy and Shirley left, and brought us some fresh corn from Chilliwack. They were just popping in on their way through, so it was a quick visit and Michelle was at work, but it was great that they stopped by for […]

Back in Action, with the Tousignants!

Meeting Molly!
This is a very late post (this all happened at the end of May), since originally I put it off due to one of the pictures below, or a similar one, being given to my grandpa on Father’s day and I didn’t want to ruin the surprise. Beyond that, it was just lost in our […]

Some Edmonton Updates and a Big First for Belle
Over the last couple days we’ve gotten some knitted booties that look like Converse high-tops (thanks, Anna!), gone to a street performer’s festival with Graham and Emily, taken a long stroll through the River Valley, tried out Edmonton sushi (not too shabby) and introduced solids into Belle’s diet! Most of those things are fairly self-explanatory […]

Edmonton So Far
So what have we been up to in Edmonton? Well, as per the pictures below, we’ve been practicing some sitting, going for walks, hanging out in our temporary apartment (we move into the house at the end of the month), sleeping on our tummies, getting into trouble with blankets, suntanning on the grass, going to […]
