It has been a busy few weeks

We are sooooo sorry it took us a little longer to update our blog. But it was quite busy the last few weeks. With Sarahs' mom flying in, taking possession of the house, moving, sorting and unpacking everything, Kristof (good friend) flying in, ...

We were lucky that Ann was here. Some extra helping hands around the house sure made a difference. After a day or two everything was basically unpacked.
Living in our own house by the way has been awesome so far. It already feels like home. Although it's still a little empty because not all of our furniture is in yet. But that will change next month.

Also we had a few very nice diners both in town and with our friends. Nicole invited us 3 for diner at her mom's place and Chris did the same for us 4 (with Kristof) at his dad's. On both occasions we enjoyed the most wonderful meals. We are very lucky we have friends like this!!! And everybody wants to 'adopt' Ann! Everybody liked her soooo much.
Sarahs' mom has since then left and Kristof is still hanging around the house. It was awesome to pick up our friendship again. It is like we never went away. Sadly, he is leaving tomorrow and we will be all by ourselves again tomorrow night.

The last three weeks we obviously were acting as tour guides for our guests. We visited all the classics spots. We went to Banff, Lake Louise, Canmore, Kananaskis, we got stuck in snow on the Icefields Parkway, Drumheller, visited the slippery Johnston Canyon... Sarah also went snowboarding with Kristof this week. They had a blast!

Kristof wanted to taste real fresh ice. Hey no problem, chew on this.

Only the tip of Sarahs' nose was exposed to the elements when she went boarding.

Look at me. I make this look good!
