The snow has arrived and Oaklee is ready!
She's got her war face on and everything.
We hyped ourselves up by looking out the window. Oaklee was
so excited, thought the snow was great. Couldn't wait to get outside.
And then we actually went outside......
Nope, not a fan. It's going to be a long winter in Canada.
Along with the snow came the cold weather. Oaklee and I made a trip to Walmart today. After freezing our butts off with just the 15 second walk inside, we've decided we will be staying in the house until April. Ryan will have to pick up groceries on his way home from work.
Aside from the risk of frostbite, we have been enjoying our time in Grande Prairie. Oaklee is as crazy as ever. She makes me laugh every day. And she gets more like her dad every day. Good thing I happen to enjoy his personality.
We are living with Ryan's brother Corry and his wife Steph. They just built a beautiful townhouse and decided a naughty one year old would do a good job of breaking it in. So far no permanent damage. Hopefully it stays that way. Honestly though, we are lucky to have such a beautiful place to live while we are here for the winter.
This summer and fall seem to be FLYING by. It felt like we were just getting settled into Grande Prairie when we made a trip back home to Utah. My Grandpa passed away and we were lucky enough to get there early enough to spend some really great time with him before he died. We loved getting to see everyone. We had only been gone a month but we are needy and missed our family. :)
We've been back in Grande Prairie for about 3 weeks now and are getting settled again.
Ryan has to go work in this every day:
Oaklee has a current love affair with banisters.
They provide hours of entertainment.

Poor sucker. Oaklee and I are very lucky he's willing to spend 12 hours a day out in Canadian winters. I'd like to say I'd do the same for him, but......I think we all know that would be a lie.
While daddy is working very long hours Oaklee and I find ways to entertain ourselves:

Pumpkin carving! I really can't believe it's almost Halloween.
This will be our first holiday away from the grandparents's, aunts, and cousins. Hopefully they forgive us for not having Oaklee there to trick or treat. It will certainly be strange for me not to spend it with them. Oaklee is going to be a lady bug! Pictures to come.
One important issue you forgot to address: YOUR NEIGHBOR FRIENDS! WE MISS YOU! So sorry you grandpa passed away. But glad you got to see him beforehand. And I understand why you may have been distracted from letting us know you were in town :) Well, at least there's bloggyworld to keep us all connected!
