Family Day Long Weekend

On thursday we went to the Zoo with Mormor and saw Nero the 5 month old penguin who is heavier than his parents!

It's hard to convince Bobs that the Zoo is fun.

On friday, we went to the cabin and stopped in Red Deer at the Hall of Fame.

We were lucky that KK brought some cross country skis to for us all to use.

The weather was fantastic too.

We played hockey three times on the lake.

On sunday, we noticed that an ice racing competition was taking place on the north end in the middle of the lake. We went to check it out.

When I saw the yellow truck from afar, I joked to everyone that it was a food truck. Indeed it was.

Tonight, Mads set up a store that make chocolate milk.

We moved!

Bobs is taking a karate class at the local city rec centre. He's a bit picky about activities, but seems to like karate.

We saw Star Wars and Norm at the movie theatre.

In late January, we packed up everything and moved to a new house 2 kilometres closer to the inner city and 1 block away from the kids school.

We had help from Kristin, Sarah and Kris.

The first moving day was a professional development day at school, so I took 4 boys to the nearby hill while Daddy and Kristin unloaded heavy furniture.

Our real estate agent and his wife, a friend of mine, gave us such a nice welcoming package.

They did a great job selling our house in this difficult market as well. We will truly miss that house. It's where the boys were brought home and it has been the main location of this blog.

With the house empty, we had some fun in the open space.

The next day after we had moved in, the whole family got the flu and we were quite sick for over a week. On some of the days, we were able to walk the boys to school and they loved it.

We have nice neighbours who brought us a cake from the local infamous bakery.

Yesterday we went to 3 local skating rinks that were hosting winter festivals with my boss.

And this morning we had pancakes. We are mostly settled in. I look forward to putting up Mormor's weavings all throughout the house.

Happy New Year!
