Our Whirlwind Adventure!

Just wanted everyone to know...

The moving company has called.   They are sending a truck TOMORROW to begin packing us up for the move!  YES... TOMORROW!!  Nothing like a little notice eh!  Well... we knew it might be a last minute thing but not a 24 hour thing!

We will still have the home phone available for phone calls & internet access.  Todd will have his mini book too!  When we find out where we are staying, I will let the family know.  It should be somewhere in Strathmore I would assume but that may not be the case at all.

We have an official possession date for the house:  August 29th.  That's  little less than 2 weeks from now.  goodness only knows when the company will drop off our belongings!  That's something else we don't know either... *sigh*. 

... the joys of moving!  Good thing I don't have a pack!  Wish us luck!  The house is going to look SO weird being empty!

 

A Place Called Home

This will soon be the place we call home... we finally have a start date for Todd's new job!!!

This pretty little 3 bedroom bungalow near Strathmore, Alberta will soon be the place we rest our heads.  We are just in the process of dealing with our relocation company on dates for the relocation of our possessions.  We could be there as soon as August 28/29/30 depending on the arrival of our belongings.

This is the back of the house...

And this is the view!!!  Lake Eagle!

Everything seems to be falling into place... Thanks Dad!  I know you're looking out for us right now!!  We have a call out to Spencer's new school to find out what happens when you transfer schools from BC to AB.  He actually starts school on August 30th.

The Best Dad Ever!

You will be greatly missed by many but mostly by your wife and soul mate Mary, your daughters Christie and Allison and their families; Mark, Todd & Spencer.  Watch over us and guide us to have the most wonderful lives ever.  Thanks for being such a great husband, father and grandfather.

We'll love you for always!

XOXOXO 

Meet Marlee!

Meet the newest member of our family... Marlee.  Spencer just adores this little fella!

He is about 7 weeks old and was orphaned out by Lake Koocanusa.  His mom was thought to have been eaten by cougars out by the lake and our neighbour whom has a trailer out on the lake heard the kittens crying one night and watched for their mom.  When she didn't appear after 12 hours she took in the 4 three week old kittens; 3 orange tabbys and a solid black kitten - all males home and took care of them.

Because he is still so young, he gets mostly bottle fed.  He drank for the first time out of a bowl this morning which is a good sign.

Being separated from his brothers has made him a super big suck. His favourite spot to sleep in on my chest so I tend to carry him around in a scarf around my neck like a baby. He just like a little furry, purring furnace... LOL! The photo below is a little fuzzy since I took it with my camera photo... sorry...

Welcome home Marlee!
