Edmonton

We headed up north for the long weekend & had so much fun! I didn't haul my camera out as much as I should have, but it made it more relaxing for me. We got up there Saturday morning and did a little shopping & hung out with John's sister Liz. We went swimming, got pizza & a movie and then of course had slurpees!

We got to see my brother's place.... it's INCREDIBLE!!! He's down in the Millcreek Ravine (literally) and has a home worthy of being in all the architectural design magazines! It's the dream home of dream homes... and surprisingly kid proof. (for the most part) I could go on more... as the more I think of his place, ours feels under par and I still need my house to feel pretty 'cool' ;) The road down to my brothers is at a pretty steep incline, so when we woke up Monday morning the area above us had a waterline burst, and our van was parked right in the river of flowing water/ice ;) Brian has great neighbours that helped us out - but it was an adventure!

We met up with some friends at West Ed & took the kids on some rides. Mya was in HEAVEN! And of course neither of us brought our cameras but c'est la vie! It was a busy weekend but we had so much fun seeing friends & family!!


This is Mya with her cousin Emily. They were best friends and worst enemies all at the same time... but put two (only child) 2 yr olds together and that's bound to happen.

Here's just a glimpse of my brother's place ;) I have to point out that Brian made his copper mantle around the fireplace!!

Wondering what this is? - it's deep fried mars bars ;) And they tasted great!

Okay, so not all of Bri's place is kid proof, but where there's no railing it sure made for a fun slide. As long as Mya was supervised.

2 of my brothers have a contest to win the favorite uncle award. They are always trying to get Mya to 'pick' her favorite & she loves them both, so she ends up just going back & forth.

As for me... I'll post some more photos later - I have now made it to 34 weeks & just hold my breathe I make it longer than I did with Mya ;) I'm measuring small, so I get to have another ultrasound. Maybe now they can 100% confirm if it's a boy or girl!!! I'm still counting on a boy- and maybe that because I paid to find out the gender & that's what they told me... but still - it'd be nice to eliminate all doubt ;) My other ultrasound in Leth told me it's a girl.... go figure.

Other than that, my dad fell & broke his wrist over the weekend. They were out at the cabin & that's where he took the spill. I'm just glad that he's made it over 40 years of having his dental practice & he's been without injury. At least he has 'hand' insurance... and now perhaps he can catch up on his lack of sleep!
