Hello All,
Just thought it was time for a little update for those of you who don’t read my Xanga Blog,
Not too much is new though - I only have 3 more weeks of work left ….. Yahoo!!! Then I will have to bite my nails as I apply for mat. leave. I am pretty sure I have JUST enough hours to qualify I hope that all my paperwork will go through smoothly but only time will tell. Lance and I are crossing our fingers because that extra $$ will go a long way in our soon to be family of 4 (family of four now that sounds crazy!)
But anyways on to some interesting news, we took Aviendha to the Vancouver Aquarium a few Fridays ago and she Loved It! What an amazing time, she was a little nervous at first and kept clinging on to Lance saying “daddy up” but after a bit she got used to things and ended up loving it! One of our highlights was watching the Beluga Whale show where we ended up getting soaked! Avi got a huge splash of cold salt water right in the face which she didn’t enjoy at the time but has been talking about ever since. She is so cute when she say’s “luuga slash funny” which means (Beluga-splash-funny) I swear she say’s it and remembers at least once at day for the past two weeks. That was defiantly money well spent!
In other Striker Family news, Jill is still doing good - getting nervous about her trip only two months away now. Mark is still in Edmonton and still hasn’t got a job - hopefully Thomas, Karen & those out that way are starting to kick his butt in the right direction (off his computer chair) because the once so convincing nagging of mom & dad just doesn’t seem to be working 
Jack is bored ….. his injured hockey ankle is still not healed he has a little limp and can’t do any of his normal boy activities like hockey, basketball, motorbiking etc I think he is going stir crazy on the weekends and driving mom & dad nuts too. Hmm, I think last time I mentioned mom getting new/used furniture for upstairs well it arrived and now the family consensus is that it is ugly … worse than the orange floral stuff. So on a spur of the moment whim she bought brand new stuff (but at a great price from Liquidation World she would never pay full normal price!) It is very nice and now there is talk of new paint and carpet too, how exciting! Dad is still pretty busy with work but always manages to get in his hockey and snowboarding time.
Lance and I are on the baby count down, I am now at 31 weeks. Everything is good and I am feeling well but getting antsy - can’t wait to see it’s cute little face!
But I think that’s it for now still working on attempting to get some pics posted … we’ll see how much patience I have
