what's so good about good byes?

The end of our Calgary stay is fast approaching. Though a bit of a whirlwind, we have had a lovely visit. There has been Christmas trees, lights, snow, snow-blowing, sugar, dogs, shopping, kisses and hugs, bookclub, a haircut, friends and of course family. I thought I would send some highlight pics:

Today we took Kate out to explore the snow. I think she was already looking for the mountains so she could enjoy it fully.

Gramma was burying the little lady and she didn't seem to mind that or the -20 degree wind chill.

Grandpa out enjoying his new snow blower for the third time in 24 hours.

Kate helping undecorate the tree.

Kate saying hello to Katie, again.

Stylist Aidan.

Mmmm, Coconut cake.

Kate's first time licking the whisk.

Tomorrow is our neice Super Lydia's first Birthday party. We missed saying Happy Birthday to you on your actual birthday but didn't want to miss saying it for your party. Have so much fun - we're sorry we're going to miss it. We will at the same time be celebrating Marek's first birthday. Despite the many many nights of below grade sleep, this last year has seemed to go so fast. These once tiny babies are now well on their way to becoming awesome little people.

I can't even think about having to say good-bye again so soon but I know Cody is missing us badly. We miss you too baby. Thank you to everyone who made such a nice effort towards us, especially to my parents who have lived in baby chaos for the last ten days.

Will write more when we return to Riverview.
