Long Time!

I feel like it's been forever since I've written! I've been yearning and longing to be here and talking to you all. Our internet is TERRIBLE! I want to cry when we don't have net access. I actually did cry one of the first days whilst on the phone with the repair company. A lotta good that did us. It's completly a fluke that we have access now and I'm praying I'll still have it when I'm done writting this. Ok, I may be a little dramatic, but I have missed my computer the past couple weeks.
The weather here is goregous! I am fully infected with the most wonderful spring fever. I didn't realize how much I missed the fresh air and sun. I mean I've been outside this winter but it just feels so much different in the spring. We still have 10 foot snow banks in our front yard. BUT, I was able to take the stroller out today because some of the roads are pretty dry, yipee! I love outside.
My biggest most excited new news is that I got to milk a cow this weekend!!! It was so much fun. Ok actually really weird, but the whole farm experience was amazing. One of my biggest dreams is to have a small farm. I want to be as self sufficient as possible. It has a lot to do with health, but also just the experience and work and all that. I want chickens, a cow, a goat, some horses, some sters, dogs of course and we'll see what else. Oh and I want a huge red barn and a beautiful house with an indoor pool and a massive veggie garden and green house. Oh man fun times. I'm so excited to start my garden this summer. I'm gonna get my seeds this week and start some of them inside since our growing season is pretty short.
We had Matthews soccer team over for dessert tonight. It was a bit busy, but really nice to have them over. We invited the team and wives/girls etc. I WAS THE ONLY GIRL WAAAA!!! It was ok though. I made peach and blackberry cobbler and that super easy and delicious chocolate pudding cake thing. They ate every drop and would have had twice as much I'm sure. I used 8 cups of peaches, I mean this thing was MASSIVE. Anyhoo.
We've actually been having so much fun lately. Hanging out with so many amazing people. I feel so good lately. I'm really emotional right now, but I also feel really open to loving people. I've had so many amazing talking with people lately. I don't even know how it happens, God just meets us and gets us going, it's great. Some guys are still here and Katelyns having a hard time staying asleep. We need to have more kids so theres more noise in our house and she becomes a heavier sleeper. Well I guess theres more reasons to have more kids. I'm reading A Clockwork Orange right now. I love it, the language is just hilarious. I'm so into it now I natually want to use his quirky words (slovos). I'll spare you, but read the book. Be prepared though, it's sad and disturbing.
I don't have much more to say. We're going to Calgary for Easter (the motivation was actually to see you guys T&L, don't be offended anyone else but you're always there and we love you all tons). My motivation is also to shop for super cute rubber boots. For me, not Katelyn as you may have thought. It's gonna be a very muddy spring. I guess that's it for now, hope you're all doing great. Love you all

For Auntie Felicia

This post is for Auntie Felicia, however feel free to enjoy even if you're not Felicia. I've been neglecting her lately. She needs pics of her niece! It was also her birthday last week yipee!

All this picture taking makes a girl tired, I'll just suck my fingers for awhile, that always makes me feel better.

Wanna a piece of nanna? I'm wearing this cute dress from Auntie Jos today even though it's COLD outside. Daddy put little jean capris from Auntie Laura with it, so adorable!!

Yea, like I said, it's COLD here! I took this picture last week. To shovel our drive way you honestly have to throw the snow onto a 10 foot snowbank, it's so tiring!!

Awww I love you too sweetie. She was so grumpy while taking these sunny pics, just needed some lovin'.

Gotta love those pretty blues.

We love you Auntie Flee, hope you are having a great day! Oh and even though I've told you this story I'll tell it again for everyone else. Last night I put Katelyn to bed at 8ish and she just played for a bit in her crib like usual and then went to sleep. When I checked on her around 10 she had fallen asleep sitting up with her forehead leaning against the crib rails and her little feet poking through the rails. She had brutal lines on her head when I laid her down, and she just sucked her fingers through the whole thing, so cute. Ciao everyone!

Swimming!

Matthew came with us swimming yesterday, it was great! She was a little fishy. She even got dunked this time. Last night I had a really random dream about swimming in the ocean by Texas with Katelyns cousins and dunking all the kids (in a nice way of course). Weird.
I got an email from a friend that wanted me to clarify what's up with the house building stuff. So for those that are newish readers to our blog, I will explain. Last year we were living in an itsy bitsy little apartment while Matthew taught at PRBI (which is also where we met). When we found out we were pregnant we started looking for a house to buy. We got talking to my dad last Christmas and decided to build instead because it's also a good investment, especially up here the way this crazy market is going. So my dad financed building two houses which we started on last April. We moved into one in Augest and finished up the other one (which is next door) to sell. The owners just took possession which I talked about last post. Now we have two more lots and we're ready to do the same thing again (only we'll sell both this time). We're really excited about this whole endevour and planning on doing this for the time being. Hope that makes sense.
