What a crazy couple of weeks!

Finally got some pictures of the house. This is the covered patio area. The garage is right behind this part of the house.

This above picture is the grass area of the back yard. On the right hand side there is a small fence between the garage and the house. There is rock and the patio on the other side of this fence.

Below is our kitchen (sorry for the mess).
This is Breana's room. She picked the colors out herself. Purple for the walls and yellow for the trim. The colors just so happen to match her bedspread!
This is our very empty living room upstairs. We put the laminate flooring in before we moved in and painted the whole upstairs except the kitchen, which we still have to do yet. Loving the laminate!
This is the outside of the house. The people that owned the house before us apparently thought that dark blue was a nice color to put on a house...well...it's not! We WILL be changing the color of the house because they used an awful blue for the trim. Hopefully first thing next spring that will get done!

Who would have thought...planes and trains all in one week? I went to Winnipeg on the 8th for work...one of our dealerships is there...and I flew with my boss in his 4 seater airplane. It was nice because it cut half of the driving time. It was kinda neat, I've only ever been in a plane once or twice before. Then, on the Wednesday after that, I went to Edmonton on a train!

I went on the Wednesday to go move Denise (my sister) back to Brandon. That sure is a nice way to travel. The train was a little bit late, but it was nice because I could sleep (well, kind of) and not have to worry about driving. It took about 13 hours to get there, so that's not all that much more than actually driving. We loaded Denise's U-Haul, just the 2 of us, in the rain, and we drove pretty well the whole way home in the rain. Rain...rain...and more rain. I am pretty sick of rain at the moment! Anyways, we got her unpacked last Saturday and I think she is settling in nicely.

Breana is sure loving her new babysitter. They are constantly on the go. There is a playgroup every day of the week that they go to. I took her yesterday to the one because I didn't have to work. She loved the playing part of it, but isn't really into singing the songs, yet you get her at home, and you can't shut her up. She sings at the top of her lungs! Different songs I guess. A lot of the songs she knows are Bible/Christian songs, and the ones at the playgroups are not. That might be why she doesn't want to sing.

Well, that turned out to be quite a blog!

Out with the Dial-UP

Wow! It's kinda nice to have high speed at home finally. After 6 years on dial up, its kinda cool!

This is my first day at home with Breana without having to study. We went for lunch with Terry, picked up some stuff from work, and went for a walk. I have a chiro apt today...this 3-day headache is getting really old!

Just thought I would try the old high speed out to see how it worked. Works pretty good!

Breana survived her first day with her new daycare. Terry dropped her off yesterday morning and only had to stay a few minutes until she got adjusted to the kids, etc. He said she didn't cry, so that was good. When I picked her up after I got off work, she was in good spirits.

Vanessa (Daycare lady) had done up a parents note detailing what they had done throughout the day, what they ate, how her demenour was, etc. She only had one time out the whole day because she hit Ty with her shoe after she thought he was going to steal her special Crocs that her Gramma Ginny bought her and she would have to get new ones!

The note said that she was quiet in the morning when the kids were playing on the trampoline, but she made really good friends with a couple of the girls that were there yesterday (She had three extra kids that she doesn't normally have).

Breana said that she liked it at Banessa's house and wanted to go back this morning, so that was good. I was not looking forward to her not liking it. I don't know what I would have done!

We are getting our Star Choice put in today. Yeah! TV again!!

The boxes in our living room upstair are slowly disappearing. One by one they are being put where they are supposed to be. I guess I will now have to start unpacking them. We got the trim put up in all the rooms except Breana's. We have to paint her trim yellow yet. Everything is starting to come together.

I forgot to say in my previous post that I got a new dishwasher! I came home from my exam last Wednesday and found Terry had went out to Home Depot and had bought one and had it almost installed! That was sure a nice surprise.

Anyhoo, better get back to work!
