Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas!

Hi there everyone! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful Christmas. We had "Chistmas Eve" on Saturday night with the boys and Jonathan, Mireille and Madison. We had our Christmas morning on Sunday morning - it was a lot of fun with the three kids! Here are some pictures of our Christmas for those who couldn't be here to celebrate with us!







Here is Madison mesmerized by her new Easy Bake Oven from Grandma and Grandpa :o)











Here is Adam opening up a board game from Gram Coffin.....nothing like catching him mid expression! :)




















Jeremy opening the Transformer that he really wanted - thanks Gram Coffin!
















We have had a wonderful Christmas and I hope that you all have an equally wonderful Christmas!

Love you all! Cathy and Marc

Merry Christmas!

There.....I said it.....Merry Christmas. Not that I have a problem with "Happy Holidays", it's just nice to hear Merry Christmas every now and then without the fear that someone is going to take offence!

We got our Christmas tree this past weekend with the boys and they had a lot of fun putting the decorations up. Here are a few pictures - we even have a picture of Santa Simpson!!!






















There is more progress on our new home as well! We have our official possession which is January 26, 2006! We are looking forward to moving into the first house that we have built together! The lastest thing is that all of the ceramic tile has now been laid - here are some pictures!

Happy Hunting Marc

Marc has had a very successful hunting season this year with 2 deer - we will have tons of meat for the next year, that's for sure!

Here are a couple of pictures

We're getting closer to move-in day!

Hi everyone! We're getting closer and closer to move in day! We still don't have the official date yet, but it looks like it will be mid-January, barring any unforseen major delays! Here are some updated pictures!

The first one is the view of the kitchen from the dining nook (The pantry door still has to be stained to match the stain of the cabinets)

The second one is a view of the newly installed stair rail. This is also waiting for stain....

Finally, the boys and I were busy this past weekend doing some Christmas baking. The kids had fun decorating our sugar cookies....here are some pictures of their creativity!

More House Pictures

Here are more pictures of the interior.....first of the living room area, then of the family room that sits upstairs over the garage. This is the room with the three windows that you can see from the front of the house

New House Pictures

Hi everyone! I've been to the house with a camera again and I thought that I would share the latest pictures! It's starting to get quite exciting now - there's always something new that's been done when we go to see the house. It's keeping Marc quite busy, checking up on the work and making sure that everything has been done properly! I'm some glad I have him to check up on things.....I don't know a whole lot about how things are supposed to be done when building a house!

First, here are a few pictures of the exterior of the house now that the siding is complete. (YAY!!!)


















































I'm also going to show you some pictures of the inside. First, here is a view of the kitchen/dining room















I'll have to add the other pictures on a second post....It won't let me add any more on this one!!

Happy Birthday Madison!

Happy birthday Madison! Ponies, ponies everywhere! There is certainly no shortage of My Little Ponies for Maddy! She had lots of kids at her party and she had a ton of fun. I thought that I would share some pictures so that everyone who couldn't be there could at least see into her day!

Happy Halloween!

The kids had a good halloween night. Marc and Jeremy went around the neighborhood and Adam went to another subdivision and went with a friend. Although Adam had to come home early because he wasn't feeling well, he still managed to get quite a bag of loot! Between him and Jeremy, we have enough candy in the house to last for quite a while.

Here are a couple of pictures from Halloween night. You can tell that the boys are getting older....no more cute costumes! They find scary costumes much cooler now!

Our First Post

Well, I guess we're venturing into the world of blogging. Judy and Andre - when we saw your blog, we thought it was a great idea, so here we are creating one of our own!

Believe it or not, we're getting our first snow storm here in Calgary today! There is about 10cm of snow on the ground and the new truck has gotten it's first test in the snow! Here is a picture of the snow from the 2nd floor of our new house looking outside. From this view, we are actually seeing our neighbor's back yard


Speaking of our house, here are a couple of pictures of the stage that it's at right now - the siding is finally in process and the house will be completely sealed from the weather soon! YAY!


















Well, that's it for now! We will be posting more on a regular basis (hopefully!)

Love,
Cathy
