Invermere

Here are a few shots from our trip to Invermere. We had a blast as usual and always love going there, if only they were closer then we would go more often. Like last year, there was a mudslide again, except this time on the way home, it delayedour leaving time and caused us to sit in some sweet traffic once we hit chilliwack. Everytime we go up there we end up talking about how to move there and if we can make it all work out, on that note does anyone want to rent a house in delta ?         An update on Oma also, seems she has pneumonia, something called arteritis which gave her bad headaches and UTI which she didnt know about, so she is in hospital and recovering. They did a CT scan today and are doing another tomorrow and will decide if she can leave. Prayer for her and for a quick recovery.

Mothers day was one we will not forget too soon. It started with madison taking a ride on the stairway to hardwood, in which she got a nice plumpy eye. Then we find out that Angelikas mom has pneumonia and is sick as a dog at home unable to move. Afternoon rolls along and we get a call from my parents and my sister Alison, who was in houston for job training, arrived safely and two hourse later had a gun pointed at her in broad daylight and had her purse stolen. She is now back home as the company flew them home and she will finish training another time. A busy sunday but Oma lange is slowly getting better, Ali is home and madison became her bodyguard because of how tough she looks with the black eye. 

Life continues to move at a fast pace, so when things slow down for a day we start to feel lazy. Sunday was a lazy day, a good lazy day because we realized it was okay to not have to be doing something and that wondering around the yard aimlessly or sitting on the bed folding socks while madison unfolds them is okay. We enjoy our weekends together and soon we will have a couple long weekends together, in may we are heading up to invermere for 5 days to visit friends and then a week and a half later we go to prince george for a friends graduation. 

         We bought a tent trailer this weekend, with Angelika being pregnant and having kids this is huge step up from crawling into a tent and sleeping on the ground, now we have small kitchen with lights, a heater and even a real fridge, and no longer we will fear the rain. We have already booked camping in shuswap and osoyoos (aug.15-17;aug.17-24) I totally recommend the Osoyoos state park, the sites are bigger, the grounds are nicer and they have all the ammenities you need, should come up if you get the chance, plus i have a in with the mill so i get vanloads of firewood for free. The picture i posted is not our tent trailer but the exact same one, its just not in our yard.

             Madison seems to get more exciting by the day, she is learning lots of words and is very playful, she likes to cuddle in the blankets with us and is a blast to be around. With her learning more comes her stubborn side and she will cry and cry to get her way, we mostly try not to step on her while she peers up from her cry wondering if she has won yet, no complaints though she is still pretty easy, made evident by the fact that we have got her off her bottle for naps and daytime, she just gets one for night now and the rest is sippy cups, i was surprised how easy it was, but i guess she likes her milk so after a while you dont care where it comes from, kind of like chinese food.
