Dave's Birthday

For Dave's Birthday, we were joined by friends for a day of Laser Tag, followed by a sushi dinner and then cake and UFC back at our house. Thanks everyone for helping to make Dave's birthday so special! :)

The Garage

Dave's latest project has been finishing the ceiling in our garage: since we've moved in, it has been a bit of a mess of old insulation, poorly put together roof tressles/joists, and just generally a bit of an eyesore. Here is the finished product--all cleaned up, and with "attic access" for storage--nice job! :)

So much SNOW!!

This past week, we've had crazy amounts of snow in Calgary! It has been snowing for almost 5 days straight! The new road clearing system seems to be doing a good job of keeping the roads clear this year, but driving anywhere is still pretty slow and sometimes treacherous--one of the downfalls of working in an "Outreach" job where a lot of my day is spent on the road!!

Nonetheless, there are still many great things about the snow--it sure looks beautiful, especially at night, and there is something so peaceful about the soft crunching of snow under your feet, when the rest of the city's sounds are muffled by the blanket of snow covering everything!

And of course, the ski/snowboard crowd are all getting excited--I think we will wait a few more weeks before we head out to the mountains!

Visit with KT and Blair

Our good friends Karen and Blair Schultz spent the weekend in Calgary, enjoying a visit that involved lots of chatting, eating (!!) and a beautiful hike in Kananaskis Country. Thanks for the great visit--can't wait to see you again over the holidays!!

Happy Hallowe'en!

Here's Greyson exploring our pumpkin.

Hope you all had a very Happy Hallowe'en!! :)
