Past Few Months Clean up

Where the heck have we been. There has been a lot of changes in our life. Since we left off, We have to go back to October 2019.
First off Big congrats to Macie and Wade for getting Awards at school before they left.

Pretty Awesome Kids

One of our favourite places in Cold Lake is the provincial park. Below are some time lapse photos from2016 and now. 

In early September we bought a house in Magrath Alberta.

Bye Cold Lake. 

Our Cold Lake House has not sold yet. 

Our new house is simple and very satisfying. The back yard is huge and comes with a few fruit trees that we look forward to picking next September.

We moved Oct 10, 2019 with a huge trailer to house all Dads Junk.

The move went fairly smooth. It was a very long few days. Packing, cleaning, driving, and unpacking. We Left Cold lake after 9 pm after long day for dad to drive from a Calgary conference he was at back to Cold lake, all the whole mom was trying to get the last items packed up in preparation for the moving truck to show up. Mom and dad were exhausted. But we cleaned the house and left for Magrath. We got to Killam and stayed in a hotel. Drove the rest of the way the very next day. The truck arrived very late but some helpers managed to wait long enough to help us unpack.

The house only had 3 bedrooms so that meant that Wade was living in with mom and dad until dad could get his room done.

Work on the basement commenced as soon as possible, building walls, putting up drywall, muding, taping, painting, laying floor, installing doors, and finally putting up base boards and trim. As of December 24, Wade had his own bedroom. A big shout out to Grandpa D for his time spent on the floor with dad, installing flooring. He also helped with trim and doors.

Macie, yes the little girl in all the past posts turned 8 and was baptized on December 22 in Magrath with family their to share in her coming of age. It was a very special time, as family members came that we have it seen in a long time.
Both Mom and Dads family came out. It was amazing to get together so soon before Christmas and enjoy a little meal and feel the spirit.

Mom started a new job in Lethbridge at a place called Visual Effects. She works twice a week and is really enjoying working there.

The kids have enjoyed spending time with Grandma and cousins as they only live a block away. We have tried to make time to watch our young nieces sports game. Macie is enjoying watching her older cousins.

Macie and Grady were in the school Christmas concert together.
