And We're Back

It has been a while. I have actually sat down a couple times to write a "comeback" blog but never went through with it. It just felt weird... where to start, what to say/include, what not to say/include, write about what has been going on, write like I never stopped blogging, make it serious, make it light and comical? So many possibilities, so much pressure (after writing pressure, I feel silly. Hahaha-Like there is a lot of pressure writing a blog which only my mother reads- Hi Mom!)

But anyways, tonight I am ripping off the band-aid. I am just going to sit down and blog. But I am going to take the easy way out by splattering the blog with pictures.

So here are some pictures of what we have been up to lately...

Drinking hot chocolate. Yes, that is right because up here in the Great White North the summer is chilly.

Growing out our hair so we can ROCK the pigtails.

Sleeping at the dinner table.

Making oatmeal raisin cookies (Kenny says these are wasteful, pointless cookies but Harps and I adore them).

PLAYING HARD!!!

Barbecue Picnics. We have had a couple of these... so fun!

Licking the icing off carrot cake cupcakes

Picking flowers... Harper LOVES flowers. Whenever she sees one, we all have to take turns smelling.

Eating lots and lots of Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches. Peanut Butter is Harper's favorite thing. It is always the first thing she asks for followed by yogurt and juice.

Petting horses at Fort Edmonton with Spencer, Micki, Morgan, Sue, Elizabeth, and Mason on our brother's trip.

Hanging at the Zoo! We got zoo passes when we got here and we go ALL THE TIME!!! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the zoo. Harper walks around doing a little dance with her arms that we have not yet figured out or captured... but it is stinkin adorable.

Finding new hats (Harper sporting a mesh strainer... someone call vogue, I smell a new fad)

Coloring, coloring, coloring, and more coloring with this cool dude.

Eating only the outside of the grapes. Because everyone knows the middle is just gross. :)

Chilling in our little red chair

Unrolling the toilet paper

And dining on sushi with these sensational people.

So that is what we have been up to lately along with unpacking and getting settled.

See ya in 3 more months... just kidding. :)

A Subtle Tribute with a Promise

This picture/flag adorns our living room wall. I was hesitant to hang it in such a prominent place, but am glad it ended up where it is. Everyone who comes over comments on it and we tell them all it is our subtle tribute.

But now for the promise, life has been crazy lately adjusting and getting everything taken care of here. But, I have gathered all the pictures that I want and need for my "we're alive"/ "back to blogging" post, and I plan to do it sometime this week. Probably Tuesday or Wednesday.
