ok, so it’s officially been 4 stinkin weeks since i updates. sorry about that! life has been busy, but good. hope you’re ready for some pictures, because i’ve got quite a few! i’m not sure what’s up with the random, weird sizing, but uploading all 27 pictures and inserting them one by one took long enough as it is and i really don’t want to do it again, so oh well. they are in order from April 12-today. i’ve added a little bit of commentary, but not as much as usual. enjoy!
got to see one of our families’ apartments…on the 27th floor!
all the handprints on our tree now
i’m officially in love with this tree. i’ve never seen it before, but it’s AMAZING!
got a haircut
housesitting for Marsha – she doesn’t drink coffee, so i made a few stops at starbucks on the way to school that week!
this isn’t a great picture, but i am continually amazed at how beautiful the mountains are!
got izzy some new bowls.
finally got some plants for the house!
finally got rid of the terrible roots that were showing in my hair!
made yummy cupcakes for school
IZZY’S HERE!!
she’s settling in great!
cuddly as always!
went out to Squamish to see some gorgeous waterfalls. izzy had so much fun playing in the streams!
she’s not spoiled at all…
the kids made a cute Thank You sign for the team that re-did the resource center
she loves sitting out on the balcony and watching everything
finally got to check out stanley park!
*imagine a cute picture of the kids with their thank you sign here* (not posted for security reasons)
happened upon the Vancouver Film Studios while trying to find Walmart one afternoon. i can’t even tell you how many random movie sets we’ve happened upon since i’ve been here. it’s crazy!
izzy and i checked out the grand opening party of the dog park near my house (i forgot my camera, so i had to take this pic from my balcony after we got home)
i spent the morning passing out water at the Vancouver Marathon.
the cherry blossom trees are starting to drop their petals and everything is covered in pink! izzy loves stickng her face in the petals.
first trip to a canadian vet. not sure what happened, but izzy picked up an eye infection somewhere. she’s looking better already!
my cousin sent me this amazing package the other day. it was a complete surprise and so much fun!!
my favorite scrapbooking site (ScrapMatters) used my gallery for a challenge. i was pretty excited! (you can read more about it here)
i’ve definitely gotten *old* – i rarely stay up past 10:30 these days, but made an exception tonight. i had dinner with some friends and wound up hanging out and not getting home until 11:30! it’s a good thing i had some caffeine to keep me awake!
izzy and i have made several trips to the dog park recently and spent quite a bit of time there again today. she loves playing with the other dogs!
there ya go folks! the past 4 weeks in a nutshell. click on the pics if you want to see them larger. hope you’re all doing well!
Love, love, love it! I love Izzie’s picture in the flower petals. So cute!!
