Happy 6th Birthday Mads!

NDP Federal Convention in Edmonton

Some of these are out of order. This was last weekend.

And these are from the Telus World of Science in Edmonton..

 and this was last weekend in Calgary again..

Bobs did a play at his school on a Robert Munsch book.

Mads decided he wanted to grow vegetables so Dad helped him plant some seeds in pots.

All four of us went to Edmonton for the NDP Federal Convention. We stayed at Hotel MacDonald and while Mommy went to convention, the boys went to the watersides at West Edmonton Mall, and the Telus World of Science.

This is in front of the hotel, overlooking Edmonton's beautiful North Saskatchewan River valley.

I was able to meet up with old friends from my NDP youth days.

We had breakfast as a family every day.

Then the kids and Daddy started the morning off with me in the convention hall before heading off to a fun destination of their own.

There were a few other kids there including this baby and her Mom and Dad. The mom was a candidate in Calgary Centre in October

Rachel Notley's speech was amazing.

We had dinner with Noah back at the hotel yesterday in the impressive Confederation Room.

I voted NO to a leadership review, but sadly many of my fellow delegates voted in favour of renewal and new leadership.

Now I am politicked out for awhile. It was fun to have the family come and Daddy is an amazing parent for taking both boys to exciting places while I was at convention.

Happy Easter

March

It's been a month since I have posted. We've been busy settling into the new house and getting furniture.

Also, a coworker and good friend of mine won the nomination to run in the Calgary by-election in the NE. I encouraged her to run as a candidate and promised her I would help her.

Mormor has been visiting us regularly with dinners and treats. We have also been very fortunate to have her weavings up all over our house.

 At work I have been busy taking photos of politicians.

On weekends, the kids have been out with me dropping off leaflets for my friend Roop.

Sometimes on the way home, we look at furniture stores.

And sometimes we have Peter's Drive Thru as a treat on the way home. The election is on tuesday.
