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!
