A Dinner with the Kipp's

So Now we are going to head back a week and touch on the great night we had the Kipp.'s! Mike and Jos had us over for a great dinner (as always) and Aaron held the Baby practically the whole time....sounds like someone has the baby itch....good thing it is not me ! hahahaha!

Here are some great pictures of the night a great video of Justice showing off his Darth Vader (sorry I couldn't get it to flip) costume for us! Hilarious!

Day Four Already?

Today was a full day...
We started fairly early this AM...8:11 to be exact. Because we are so far north in the hemisphere the sun stays up late and comes up early, we are darking dark hours between 10 pm and 4 am, and I am not joking. I have woken up every morning so far at 4 to pull down the shade so we can get a couple extra hours of ZZZZZ's. We have been up and out till almost 10 because until about 9 it feels like it is 5 in the afternoon (no, not "nine in the afternoon, your eyes are the size of the moon")!
...Ok so back to what I was saying...the day started early. Aaron took a 2.5 mile run while I dove in to my latest read: The Shack (so far so good- Chapter 5). Around 10 Aaron and I borrowed Matt and Sara's Mountain bikes and headed out for a nice ride in the "country". It totally felt like we were in Europe, touring the countryside on our bikes!

We got home a little before noon, just in time to have a nice lunch with Matt (who had to work today) and then off to walk the Downtown area with Sara and the baby.












While we were on our nice little walk we saw our first and informedly "only" Canadian Mounty encounter....on the side of a van! I guess there is really no such thing as the ture Mounty anymore.

Next we took in a nice steak dinner...thank you matt, and then headed for the beach...at 7:30 pm! It is still warm until the sun goes down, so we had to make the most of our day!












The day ended with a bath for bella, and now we are all off to bed! See you tomorrow!

The Blog Frenzie

So Sister Katie has a blog now! www.cateringtofaults.blogspot.com. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but i am sure it is good. Check it out, it is on my blog list to the left.

Tonight we had a wonderful dinner with Christine, Antonio, Baby Katherine, Joslyn and Justice, Erin S.* (to protect the not so innocent) and Lisa! Aaron came after class, and I DIDN'T BURN THE MEAL AND IT DID TASTE GREAT! Comments from the peanut gallary gladly accepted!

Erin S. did great with her try's at speaking spanish to Antonio. The best was " 'chi chi' that's milk right?" and Christine responding with "NO! That's Boobie!" hahahah! Classic Erin S. moment right there; it was almost as good as "Para Ti- like a Par-ty, you know 'Fiesta' !?" and " I remembered my 'biblioteca'" (which was for "bible")! So great! I love watching and listening to her try to speak spanish, though I will say mine is not much better...I lack confindence more than anything. Other than that, it was a calm enjoyable night.

Here are some pictures from tonight. (p.s. this is another lame blog night, but something funny is bound to happen soon.


Thought for the night: Video games can cross internation borders and language barriers, and make two people with nothing in common, connected.
