Just a few things...

Doug "installed" Caleb's "moose" (that's what he thinks it is) last night.  We're loving it.

We've got the vintage modern vibe going on in here with a few "Canadian rustic" elements thrown in for fun.  It's exactly what Caleb wanted-- he told me so himself :)  As if.  He really could care less about what his room looks like.  One day when he wants to paint his room neon green and chooses his own posters for the wall I'll let him do it.  I think... :) 

And just one more thing.  Tuesday was a CRAZY day.  Three doctors appointments and poor Eme got her 12 month shots (a little late-- I know-- had to wait until I knew I could walk her into the clinic myself :)  I arrived home from the public health unit at 5:45 with cranky hungry kids-- trying to figure out what to make for dinner.  And it was raining.  I rush into the house to find that Doug had just gotten home from work and was making dinner.  I'm busy and distracted, the kids are going crazy, and 15 minutes later I look over at the table to discover these waiting for me...

And chocolate.  It doesn't get much better than that.

Love you babe :)

A Successful Day Was Had By All

Well, Doug did it again. Today Doug and Todd went out fishing for the day with the plans to (and I quote) "not come home until every living creature has been caught." Doug was certainly successful. This time he managed to pull in a 35 pound Spring Salmon. As you can see, it is definitely not the most attractive looking fish, but it certainly made a delicious meal. Kristi worked her magic in the kitchen tonight a prepared an awesome meal for us all. Thanks Kristi!! Meanwhile, Brianne and I also engaged in some productive activity. We set out to Langley with the plan to not come home until every great deal has been found in the mall. And, as you can see, were certainly were successful as well. I love Saturdays!!

Hey Honey! Look What I Caught!

For those of you who don't know, my husband has a new hobbie. A couple of weeks ago he decided to get into fishing. He went out and bought a rod, got his fishing license, and found a couple of fishing buddies. Every weekend he now heads out at least once or twice to fish for salmon. Yesterday he caught his first fish-- a 20 lb, 3 foot long Spring Salmon! Needless to say, I was fairly shocked when I saw it. Doug and his buddy Todd spent the evening cleaning it up last night (It is definitely not my job) and tonight we are having a BBQ with friends and family. We'll let you all know how it tastes!
