Summer!

Katherine

Shuya Household Thoughts

1. Katherine enjoys sneaking under my bathrobe and coming out the front
2. Said girlie has pink eye
3. We have a slough in our backyard that Ryan is working on siphoning out to the street
4. Ryan got my bike and the chariot out yesterday and I pulled the kids to the bank and back - hurrah for spring!
5. I am making turkey soup and bread today
6. We were at Superstore 3 times yesterday
   

Loving It!

Tea on the deck Friday and Saturday!
Sighted 2 gophers on Sunday,
And a guy on a motorcycle...

Voila!

Like walking on a big cushion!

It is a surprise
To find poop in the places
Where poop should not be.
~ Ryan

The springtime cometh
With birds, trees, and flowering
Things that I like.
~ Ryan

Booters and splash pants.
Wet children puddle jumping
The promise of spring.
~Wendy

First Day!

Well, first day at new job done. So quiet, it was unbelievable. Next week back to Stoon for the clinical oncology and then 2 weeks of orientation and I should be so smart no one will be able to stand me! LOL
Dorrie you were wondering about our white throated sparrow, you can check out this link

not as good as what we hear in the spring, and I am so looking forward to hear old Sam sing!

Sam is back!

I was so glad to get back home Friday and to make the day Old Sam Peabody (aka white throated sparrow) had arrived back from his southern trip as well! And the catkins are popping on the poplar tree outside our window, so spring has got to be coming folks! Stan has the floor pretty much prepped for the carpet layers (coming on the 1st) except for 2 nasty squeaks in the hallway. Everything seems to take twice as long as it should! Have a great weekend everyone!

YAY! Our orchid is blooming! We have been waiting probably 2 years!

Is it Cruella?

This is a very unusual lamb, not the best picture...
I tried to load a video but it wouldn't work :(

Six months ago we said our goodbyes. Miss you every day. Love you more always...

Tile Fireplace - Done!

Next carpet, trim etc etc etc...
A picture just for you Dorrie!
Happy Belated Birthday Jacey! We were thinking about you as we were zooming
around Saskatoon and buying more work!

Small Victories!

It's been a while since I last posted some basement reno pics (mostly because nothing has looked different for the last few months...), so here are some new pics. I got the OK from the painting foreman (Mom) on the priming job.

Happy birthday Jacey! Hope you had a fantastic day! Love from Aunty Dorrie and Uncle Tom

Happy Birthday Wendy!

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Wendy,
now she is all grown up with little ones!
Have a very special birthday!
Love you lots, Mom and Dad

More Progress!

Not just a Pretty Face...

Not just a pretty face, it works too! (Temporary top until we do the countertop)
