I don’t know how to downsize my pictures, everytime I try it tells me they are still too big.  As you can tell I am not the most computer savy person and I get frustrated easily, I am giving up or at least shouting out a cry for help or advice.  So if any of you smart computer people have some advice to pass my way I am open to try

It’s Snowing!

Filed under: Uncategorized — sara at 10:33 pm on Sunday, November 26, 2006

Well despite all the thoughts that Agassiz gets no snow and that the Fraser Valley doesn’t get a winter except for rain - the snow has arrived in full fury!! It’s snowing and blowing and pretty cold out here and it seems like everyone is house bound.  I swear that the first flake here means no one goes out - church meetings are cancelled, hockey games are postponed and people just don’t drive.  Which is just fine with me since I am now a totally parinoid winter driver as my poor husband knows all too well!! After Lance & I dumping our Jeep into the ditch on the Koke about 4 years ago and me rolling my truck off the road two winters ago in Vernon (while pregnant with Avi) I am super scared!! Lance only has two weeks off a year and we have booked a week long ski vacation for Silver Star (Vernon).  We are supposed to leave on Thursday and I am already worried about the drive, I am totally excited about the vacation but very concerned about getting there.  But on to happier thoughts,

Aviendha is really getting the hang of talking she is mimicing us like a parrot.  So I have to be extra careful when I say things like “Lance is this shirt ugly” and she answers back with “Ugly, Ugly, Ugly” Which is so cute and funny that you can’t do anything but laugh. Today after church we went to Grandma Adele’s for lunch and she proceded to name everyone around the room with great pride she can say Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Jill, Mark, Jack, Nana & Papa.

But after my very random and not exciting post I think I will leave you all - I might try and see if I can figure out the picture part of this site

Thanks for all your comments

I know I have been a little bit slow in my Thanks but here it is, Thanks to all the congrats we recieved on the news of our ‘bun in the oven’.  Lance, Aviendha and I are super excited about the new baby. 

Not too much new here just getting over some colds/flus nothing as bad as Jenn’s experiance but between Avi and the little boy I babysit I think I have changed about 50 dipers in the last three days.  You get the picture, and I think that’s enough said about that!

Mom took Avi overnight for the first time last Saturday and everything went awesome.  I think mom was way more excited about the experiance than Avi or even Lance & I.  And except for a brief five in the morning wake up it was nearly perfect.  That definatly means more nights at Grandma’s house I’m hoping for once a month :)

Oh I wanted to Thank Deb for posting about my blog, I have a site that I update all the time. It is open for anyone to view and that’s where I post all my pictures and lots of dumb daily stuff too.

But I should run, Lance just walked in the door
