Z Is For Ziplock

Because I almost forgot to take a picture and it's past my bedtime. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....that's what Z is also for!

Y Is For Yellow Butterfly

X Is For X

For lack of anything else that looks like an X or starts with X in our house, here is an X.

W Is For Westward Bound

Home time...of course the long weekend away wasn't long enough, but it never is...back to reality!

V Is For Vroooooooom

Okay, so I didn't take this one because that shadowed person behind my Mom is me...Alex took this one. So, this is Smart Car #1 from the Smart Car household...My parents are a proud three car family now - 2 Smart Cars to be used on a regular basis and one station wagon to take on the highway to help their oldest daughter move (oh and take the harp to harp lessons and go on other road trips...)

Oh, and Happy Birthday Mama!

U Is For Under The Umbrella

Two pictures...I was just going to put the one of Rebar, but it doesn't actually show the umbrella, so here we go, the umbrella and under the umbrella. I love the back deck in k-town!

T Is For Traffic Jam

We got to take a detour on our way to k-town today...this is the traffic jam we missed. The (scenic) detour was faster since moving 10km an hour is faster than 0km an hour, but it still took us a looooooooong time to get through Chilliwack...like two hours.

S Is For Slow Going

I've been editing this document for what feels like an eternity...I didn't think this project would be as huge as it has turned out to be - it's just a revision of an existing document, but apparently I was wrong!

R Is For Relocated

This is the contents of our closet. We arrived home late on Saturday night after hearing Briana sing to discover the shelf and bar in the closet had crashed to the ground. There wasn't to much up there, not enough to cause the collapse, but in the morning when I took a second look I discovered whoever installed the whole thing used screws without anchors straight into the drywall...sigh...

Q Is For Quilt

This was a wedding gift (and I think it's featured in a picture earlier this year). My great-aunt made it for us and if we had stayed in the Blue House, she had given us special instructions on how to hang it on our wall. We'll see, the new place might just have somewhere for this special gift to go.

P Is For Pink Palace Pret A Partir

Okay, so it's not quite ready to go, but it is ready to be shown again if need be...hopefully they will find a new tenant by the end of the week so that the packing can begin. This is the calm before the chaos! Because moving is chaotic, no matter how organized it is!

O Is For One Year Old

Our niece had her first birthday earlier this week, but because of work we didn't get to see her until today. She's in love with babies and seems to really like books, so we got her some books with pictures of babies. And that was the very best guess at a gift ever! She loved them...pointed to all the babies, said woof to the dogs, and kissed all the pages to show us how much she loves babies! She is tearing open her package here yelling "babaaa, babaa" her word for baby. Check out the look on her face!

N Is For Nightlife

Because nightlife and pregnancy don't always work out well together. My cousin Briana had her CD launch party tonight and we arrived just in time to hear the end of Matthew Mei and hear her set. Very awesome!

p365-187-08

M Is For Massive Ankles

Or cankles as they will be known for the next little while...obviously my ankles are not enjoying the combination of summer heat and pregnancy!

L Is For Lunch Food

I went grocery shopping on the way home...lunches work well when I shop regularly...not so well when I don't (I wonder why!)...and homemade lunches are just so much better than the junk either of us can pick up at work.

K Is For Kicking Karate Kid

That's my belly. And that's the cub kicking up a storm.

p365-184-08

J Is For J-E-L-L-O!

Thank goodness for solid food...HA! It's so hot, food is not something we're much interested in around here. Solids like Jell-o, popsicles and fruit are pretty much the only things we feel like eating! Check out the canned fruit that has taken on a green tinge from the lime Jell-o!

Oh, and we're half way through year 2 of Project 365.

Oh, and HAPPY CANADA DAY!

I Is For Inventions I LOVE

I love this fan. This fan is the best thing to happen to me today. Ahhhhhhhhh......something cool in the heat wave! This fan has been around forever! I remember it when I was a little kid. Thanks Mom for bringing it to us!

H Is For History Lesson

We spent today with Alex's brother's family and went to see his nephew play lacrosse in New West at Queen's Park...this is the historical time line of the park, the arenas and the other stuff in the area.

G Is For Goody Bag

We spent the day with Alex's family and had a bit of an early birthday party. This is the bag of goodies that Alex's mom sent me home with...good thing birthdays only come once a year!
