Home sweet home!

We arrived home late on Saturday night, after a slightly delayed flight.  The employees working at customs at the Saskatooon airport were GRUMPY.  I was quite disappointed with this.  They are welcoming people to our city and our country.  Would it be too hard for them to smile?

After dealing with crusty customs agents, we stepped outside into a blizzard.  Luckily, a good friend, Chris, came and picked us up from the airport in his truck.  I am not sure we would have made it to our house without him!

Sunday morning, Hugh and I woke up excited to see Calder.  It had been 9 days since we had seen him.  I called Mom and Dad and was informed that they were snowed in.  They couldn't get out of the driveway, let along down the grid into town.  Needless to say, we had to wait one more day.

Monday, my dad got the tractor and plow going and plowed their driveway and the grid.  Dad and Mom headed to Saskatoon in the afternoon WITH CALDER!

I was so excited to see our little man!  And, is he motoring around!  When we left he was taking a couple of steps (with some encouragement) between Hugh and I.  He is now walking everywhere!  So fun. I am pumped to spend the week with him!

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that SHE stays in our slipstream an

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!
