9 Years

Wow...9 years already! It is wild to think another year has come and gone and we celebrated 9 years of marriage while we were back in Calgary.

The grandparents graciously watched our children after we put them to bed so we could enjoy a night out on the town to celebrate.  We ended up at the Calgary Tower and spent the evening reminiscing about our wedding 9 years ago.  From the tower, we had a clear view of the city and were able to think back on our time dating and our first year of marriage in Calgary.  On our way home, we drove past the Chamber of Commerce where our reception was, and then drove through the University of Calgary where we met.  We have truly had an amazing 9 years together full of wonderful memories and experiences.  We are simply just so blessed to have each other!

When we arrived home we were greeted by grandparents who told us that that our little Cole had other plans after we put him down and left for the evening.  The little monkey was up for two hours after we left refusing to go to bed.  Both Oma and Grandma tried to calm him down but apparently he was somewhat miffed that his mom was not there to tuck him in.  However, Grandpa saved the day and Cole feel asleep in Grandpa's lap and was tucked into bed by the time we got home.  Ironically, on our anniversary we forgot to get a picture of each other, but instead, have a picture of our little one snuggled with with his grandpa.

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...

Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for! We daily feel so grateful for all of the blessings in our life but it is nice to have a day to get together with family and reflect and relax. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Long Island, NY with Drew's 'east coast' family. Sam enjoyed his second road trip out to Long Island and did fabulous! He got to see a lot of family again and finally get to meet his Great Granny! Sam got some early Christmas gifts this year and had a lot more enthusiasm unwrapping them than we expected!

Reflections

North shore School District hosted an art walk this year to highlight student work.  The theme was Imagine and students were tasked with creating some sort of 'art' that reflected the theme.  Sam came home one day and told us that he had submitted something.  What came as even more as a surprise was when we were contacted to say his piece was a qualifier to represent the school in the district art walk.  Sam was pretty thrilled with it and with his ribbon and didn't mind at all that his piece didn't move on to the next round of judging.  His best bud Owen had his work submitted as well and they enjoyed hanging out at the art show.
