Well a lot of things have happened since I last wrote! The most noticeable thing.... I'm really FAT!!! But I guess that's a good thing. (At least for now.) But here are some of the more interesting things that have been goning on.
- Spent part of a Sunday and Monday in Kenora with Kelly's family. The guys went fishing for Dad's birthday. And then Charlie & Sara, Ashee & Aline came Monday afternoon. So we were quite a bunch and of course it wasn't quiet! Grilled some fish over the fire, African style and it turned out awesome! Definitely will try that again!
- Alex and Ashton and Jace came for a weekend! Was so awesome having them all here! And the weather ended up being just beautiful. Kelly and I picked them all up at East Gate Friday after lunch, then we toured around Winnipeg for a little while. Decided to go home and grill something for supper, but first stopped in at K-Tec. Our supper ended up being quite late but the grilled chicken legs were worth the wait! Saturday, we got up in good time as our departure time for Kenora was set for 9:30 and we had 6 of us that wanted to go thro the shower first! And you won't believe it but we were backing out of the driveway at 9:29! :) We were all quite pleased! Stopped at Tim Horton's for breakfast along the way. Got to Kenora just before lunch. Went and loaded the boat down with all our food and fishing gear and off we went for a lovely day on the lake. The sun shone nice and warm, the water was perfect for cooling off in, and almost everyone caught at least one fish. Stopped in Kenora for supper then headed home. Sunday was church then to Frank and Wilma's for lunch. They have youth kids and then invited another young couple as well. The v-ball net was set up in the yard so everyone enjoyed a few games after lunch. Went home then to relax and grill steak for supper. The youth all met at George's later in the evening for ice-cream so we went to join them. Monday, the guys toured K-Tec again so they could see everything actually running, plus Kelly had to finish packing up some stuff for his trip he was leaving on. Stopped at the cafe for lunch then off to Winnipeg. Dropped Jace off at the airport, then the Kelly and Alex took us girls to some fabric stores and stuff. By then it was time to drop off Alex's and Kelly. So said our good-byes! :( Shawna and I proceeded to spend the rest of the evening shopping and then went to Apple Bee's for appetizers before I had to drop her off. And then I came home to a VERY empty house! But it was sure a fun weekend!!
- Kelly was gone on a dealer trip for 2 weeks. But he did come home for the weekend so that was nice! While he was gone, I spent some time at Nelson's. Even helped put up some applesauce. And that included picking the apples as well as the actual making of the sauce. Went for a girls night out with Stacy, Melissa, and Tiffany, which of course was a pile of fun. And the second week Shawna was off for one day, so we relaxed and then went for coffee and came home and made a fire and mountain pies. I also spent 2 days in Kenora. Finished up all my blankets so that was nice.
- Now this last Saturday, Kelly and I went shopping for baby stuff. Got a stroller, car seat, play pen (which will be the crib for as long as we live in our little place), and diaper bag that looks mostly like a purse and I really like it!
So ya... Life has been busy, just like yours has been. Now I'm waiting for Kevin's to come visit and then for the baby to finally make it's appearance and somewhere in there I have got to get some dresses figured out for all these weddings that we absolutely can't miss! Kelly has a cousin getting married Oct. 12 (which I'm guessing we'll have to miss) and then Stacy's is Oct. 26 and she is just like a sister so we can't miss that one! And then of course Erica's is the next weekend and since we won't have time to get a passport for the baby we'll have to drive. So we'll see how this all goes! :) Should make some memories anyway!!
And now I'll quit rambling, so good-night and sweet dreams!
