The more there is to blog about...

The less time there is to blog!

We got an AWESOME seat sale, so the kids & I flew to Abbotsford for five days in the middle of February. It was so much fun to see friends and family, but it seemed there was never enough time to spend with each one we saw. For me, the highlight was seeing my mom and sister for the first time in almost a year.

Unlike many of my blogging friends, I took almost no pictures! I packed my camera around with me from house to house as I visited, and took a total of 7 pictures. One of them is posted above, of Janelle with "my" Emma. The other photos were all taken at the Small family get-together (which we are famous for!) and I posted them all on my Facebook page, since that's where all the Small's hang out.

Now we're into fun number two: the Greek family is visiting for a week or so! Ah, Canasta....it just feels so good (even if the girls lost the first game). I won't promise you any pictures of them, but at least I told you they visited!

Snow

Yep, we have snow. This is Alberta after all. Just thought I'd show you the results of a "blizzard" that came through town. The newscasters called it a blizzard, but it wasn't like I'd read about in books. It was really windy, though, which caused the big snow drifts in these pictures. It wasn't all that exciting for us, actually, because when we lived at the edge of Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford, we commonly got snow drifts at least six feet high. This was about the same, but a bit colder. Calvin had fun though - he's standing on top of a big pile of snow, a combination of a snow drift and the snow we've been tossing off our driveway all winter. He and Connor dug it out and reinforced it with boards, so now they have a very roomy snow fort.
