Stop Rockin' the Boat

Hello all,

Well, it's been interesting. We've been putting fence posts in, and watching them fall over in the muck created by the two weeks of solid rain we endured. The yard is just now beginning to dry out!

We had a house guest for a while, and thankfully she didn't go into labour while she was here. Stephanie stopped by for about a week while Dave was trying to secure a residence for the two of them in Sparwood. Dave started a job there on Monday, so they are very thankful for the work, as he was laid off after the Pope & Talbot shutdown hit Mackenzie.

As for me, it's been a whirlwind. I've been to Calgary, Red Deer (twice) and Edmonton on courses. I've been feeling very flu-ish off and on throughout all the travelling (maybe just a bit too busy) and am still training at work. The good news is that the scale we bought a while back is now giving me a much friendlier number!!

Matt is hilarious as ever. He has informed me of several pieces of interesting information over the last few weeks:

"Mommy, did you know that there are workers inside my body?"

"Really, that's interesting."

"Yup, and they put "4" in me. They'll know when I turn 5, and then they'll put "5" in me."

Matt seems to be very much into "age" right now.

"Mom, I have a really good idea. How 'bout, I get a skateboard for Christmas...but not till I'm 27. When I'm 27 then I'll ride a skateboard."

"I will not be the best boy ever until I'm 5. Right now I'm still 4, so I will make you crazy."

He's a genius!! He's got it all figured out already!! It's definitely not safe to ride a skateboard until you're 27, and hopefully by then he'll grow out of the idea.

Anyway, must go balance the cheque book, make popcorn and dust.

Blessings on you,

Laura
