So I have proven that I cannot keep up with the monthly blogging anymore. I think I will have the kids start writing their own updates...should be good for their typing skills too!! :-) February flew by. My parents were in town for a couple days on their way back down to PV. They had a quick trip up to AB to see an orthopod as it seems that Mom has to have her hip replaced this spring. It has been a long time coming and well...it's finally that time! We had a nice couple days...short and sweet and we will see them back here next week on their trip back home for the summer!
Elaine arrived the end of February. She was here for 6 weeks...we were part of her temporary housing while she was waiting for her suite to become available in Calgary. The weekend she arrived we celebrated Emily's birthday. In the weeks she was here we celebrated all three kids' birthdays actually...and took in two hockey tournaments (on of Ehren's and one of mine) as well as Easter. We kept her busy and she did some tag teaming with the kids as well. She was also here during spring break in which time we went to Celestial Seasonings, Hammonds Candy Factory, Denver Aquarium. and The Wild Animal Sanctuary...home to hundreds of wild animals including bears, tigers, lions and even a camel. :-) We got a little snow here a couple days before Gramma had to leave to help acclimatize her to the good 'ol SK weather!!
So, as for the family...we've been doing well. We made it through another set of birthdays, report cards, and are only weeks away from the end of school...already! Ehren is busy with work right now as they are in review period. He continues to play hockey and recently decided he will be playing twice a week. Running has become a challenge. He recently tried training for a 1/2 marathon and after getting in 21 miles in one week his Achilles acted up again...trashed that idea...so hockey and golf it is! I am working about once a week and am now enrolled in yet another Spanish class. I have finished hockey for the season and recently signed up to do that Pike's ascent in August (which Ehren was also suppose to do but cannot). I am excited for school to be done...only just over a month left!
Keep ya all updated as we go...may be a month or two.... :-)
