Snow, Sons and Grandson

Hank and I are home again after a wonderful weekend in BC. The talk of the weekend for most people was the snow and there was a lot of snow! And people in BC are not used to the white stuff like Manitobans are. There aren't snowplows or other snow clearing machines and the drivers are unsure of what to do. We don't have that many huge hills to naviagate either. So being in a blizzard in BC was an interesting experience. We even got a bonus Snow Day and saw Oliver one more time. The sad part was that the weather was so much worse in Abbotsford than in Surrey that we were only 5 miles from Scott and Margaret and didn't get to see them again. We met a couple of semis in a white out that pretty much did me in for traveling further onto the Sumas Prairie!

Visiting with Scott & Margaret and Ryan & Steph is always great. I feel so blest that we can just hang out with our kids - talk, share iMac hints, play Settlers of Cattan - though we may have to ban Steph if anyone else is ever gong to win! Kayla and Harley, we missed you!

And Oliver! It was just so wonderful to hug and cuddle this little guy. I didn't know being a grandma would be so sweet. He just feels like he belongs!
