ida + i waiting in the car for eli
the view from the drivers seat
sleepin' lady
move: done. c.j. and dad were cold, wet, hungry and tired. {notice the red cheeks on c.j.}last year, around this time, c.j. was in the process of moving his studio from the arbour residence to a echoy 2000 sq/ft bay way across town {visit the february 2009 archives, you'll find it there}. it was a really big job. lots of equipment, lots of junk to de-junk out of the arbour basement. it was a scene. the day they moved it was freezing, absolutely freezing.
today c.j. is moving his studio. again. this time from that cold, echoy bay across town into our warm, cozy, new house. they are putting the finishing touches on his studio space in the basement as i type {i will post some pics as soon as the floor has cured so i can walk on it}. oddly enough, c.j. chose today to move. this week the weather has been lovely, today Environment Canada has issued a storm watch for alberta. how ironic. when i was getting eli ready this morning i opened the door to assess the weather outside and it was cold and the wind was howling. i am pretty sure he won't be going out for recess and lunch today. and c.j., we still haven't found our winter coats, so he left this morning with a hoodie and a puffy vest from my dad. no touque. no mitts. {note to c.j.: dude! dress for the weather!}
all i could do is wish him "good luck" as he walked out the door. i may find him like han solo, frozen in carbonite, but more like a popsicle, just, frozen...
now... i need to get ready and go clean that house so we can move in.
the drywall dust is EVERYWHERE!
UPDATE: the weather outside is a hilariously wicked bad blizzard. i just talked to c.j., they are creeping along the highway, about 10 feet visibility, blowing snow, big drifts, wind shield wipers that don't work and semi's rolled over in the ditches. i hope they make it. i better suit up, i need to get out there and fetch eli from the bus stop. wish us luck!
p.s. i went to the house to clean it and almost fell over by the toxic soup that is going on in the air right now. the sealant that is on the cement floors is curing and the place smells like a paint can. will have to wait till tomorrow. rats.

hope you guys survived the blizzard! we've had it for a few hours now too...fun times
Wow, that does not look or sound like much fun. Tom and CJ should go into the storm chasing business! Glad it is done!! Audrey checks the weather in the morning before she gets dressed and yesterday she came in saying "Mom, look it is 5 degrees in Calgary today." We thought about the bundled cousins strolling off to school. Audrey still says that she misses the snow!!
Love the pictures. Thanks for sharing. I hope it all went well and the smell subsides. Can't wait to see you all. KATHY
