one month/4 weeks

                                   working on a smile...

                                                   eli reading a question to c.j.

                                   a little bit of kids trivial pursuit.

                                  c.j. bought ida a dress for valentines day.  men at work.

                                   fresh out of the tub.

this weekend we have been in invermere, b.c..  eli had school off thursday, friday and monday, so we thought it would be good to get away.  we haven't done much but sleep, play board games, shoot off model rockets and eat. we tried to go get pizza at "peppi's".  we were starving and REALLY excited to eat at our favourite pizza place but when we got there it was CLOSED. what??!  {peppi's is closed for renos until late april for all you calgary folk!}.  super bummer. 

for valentines day we had supper at "The Black Forest Inn" for some german cuisine.  ida slept, eli and c.j. dined on steak and lobster and i got the traditional schnitzel cordon bleu.  it was fun, the food was good and we ran into dieter and christine soellner to boot {an old work mate}.  

ida turned 1 month while we were here as you well know from my previous post.  time does fly.

we found out that these fine folks are having another baby.  what a surprise for the kids!  i love frame #6 and sophie's face.  priceless.  so exciting!  

we had a showing at our house while we were gone, who want's to buy a house???

i read that a piece of "soviet space junk" almost crash landed smack dab in calgary the other day. apparently it was a bit hairy for about 30 minutes while they tried to decide if they should inform the public.  the choice was made when they heard word that what was coming down hit the atmosphere and changed it's course.  it then landed in the ocean, off the tip of africa... wow, didn't know calgary and africa were so close in proximity...
