Memories...

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew/know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Updates about the Car and Van

They have both been found. One not so good - the other surprisingly ok. The insurance company figured it would cost too much to tow the car back to Edmonton and fix it so we have to buy new one. Rich is really choked up about that :)


We are hoping to have found a new
car to drive before we leave on our
trip. Which will be very exciting because we will HAVE to buy a new camera as well. And then I can start posting more pictures again.

Also Rich's parents are watching the kids for us so we know they will be having a blast while we are gone. I really think it is a wonderful thing for Grandparents to do such an amazing thing. The kids always love it and remember it forever!!

I've got good news and I've got bad news....

Well I figured it was time to update my blog - I am good for one entry a month usually....This month has already been incredibly eventful! We celebrated Canada Day with great friends and food - at the Ledge and at Millwoods Park - the boys had a blast - but were not too fond of the noise from the fireworks.

Andy Celebrated his fourth birthday yesterday with tons of friends and lots of water - I really wish we had pictures!! I really can't believe he is four!

I guess now I can post info about our New Addition...We had our first appointment with our doctor on Monday June 30th and heard our baby's heartbeat - what a wonderful sound!! The boys thought it was really cool. Then on Thursday - July 3 we had our ultrasound and found out we are having another bouncing baby boy. Isaac and Merrill are thrilled that there will be four brothers - just like the Ninja Turtles....Are we ready for this?

Okay and now the bad news... Two weeks ago we had our Honda stolen from in front of our house - not too terribly hard because we still had the van. We have theft coverage so we have a rental. The police found our car 8 hours away in Clearwater BC - in pretty bad shape - we still haven't heard back from the insurance company...And this morning I am heading out the door with the boys all ready for church (Rich left earlier for meetings) but I can't find the van!! I am still in shock that someone could be that mean. We had to go again to the police station and talk to the same officer (you have no idea how embarrassing that is) who thankfully was very kind, but reminded us that when our honda was stolen we were given an anti theft club to help deter people from stealing our van....we are much wiser now....Is it too much to hope for it's safe return? And maybe a thorough detailing and a full tank of gas?
