TWO YEARS!

Happy 'blogiversary' to us! It's been two years today since we started this blog! I have to say I'm kind of impressed with myself that I've remembered to keep it (more or less) updated since then. :) I hope everyone enjoys reading and seeing the occasional pictures - it sure makes us feel like we're closer to some of our far-away family and friends!

Just a quick look back...This was our very first post. Look how little Gavin was - and he's going to be SIX in a few weeks! Remember Abby's crazy hair when she was about the age Rachel is now? Oh, and was it really almost two years ago Greg became a Canadian citizen? (Which reminds me, I still need to post about the kids becoming American citizens!) This is one of my favorite Gavin stories.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Welcome to the winter version of our blog! ;) Here in Beaverlodge we have a few inches of snow, although it's stayed right around the freezing mark for the last week or so, and the forecast holds more of the same. Gavin's class sang at the Beaverlodge Christmas festival yesterday, so I guess the festive season is already in full swing and I need to catch up!

We're looking forward to a visit with friends from Edmonton this week, and hopefully we'll start to get organized for Christmas before December hits!

And happy 2nd birthday to our niece/cousin Mischa! (I hear she got a kitten for her birthday!)

A little facelift

I'm sure you've noticed a new look here today. ;) Clearly I have too much time on my hands.

Do you like it? Hate it? Does something look strange or not work on your computer? Please post a comment and let me know - I generally only check the site from our own computer, so it may look totally messed up to everyone else and I would never know, happily sitting here in my own little non-messed up world.

P.S. Yes, I know, there are only two little dotty things at the beginning of the quote in the header, and three at the end. It's driving me crazy. But the small munchkins are waking from their naps and shockingly, they're a priority (if just barely) over the symmetry of the blog header.
