a quick break

okay, so I am going to find a video camera so I can do a proper tour for you guys, but until then I just thought I would say we are mostly on-line (at least one computer is until we get some wireless cards and a wireless router) and I am up to my armpits in getting Hayley's room painted so I can get her moved properly into her bedroom. We have to head to Golden this week to get Scott's bed, Ian and I have a dresser still in transit and my dining room table is being refinished (lovely old oak), but lucky Justin, he is actually all in his room, just needs a kick start to get the boxes unpacked! So, we're happy, tired, I'm covered in a mix of "Fuzzy Mitten" white and "Mirrored" purple (a sort of amethyst colour) but we are getting there! Okay, back to work!

We can't wait!

What are you doing on the weekend?

Hope you're getting settled into your new place OK.

Love and hugs.

MargieCM said...

Stevie - mine has much longer to travel, and many marsupials to dodge on the way. I'm sure it will appear soon, and with luck, have relatively few teeth marks in it.

Hav a FABULOUS Thanksgiving.

Unknown said...

Happy Thanksgiving Stevie, Ian, Justin, Scott...and....oh yeah...Hayley! XOXOX

I know you'll have a great one! :)

Love,
Rache (aka Mom)

Stevie said...

we (as in me, Dale and Lesley) are going to try to get the video done while Les is here so we can all be on it!
I can hardly wait!
Hee hee!
Happy Thanksgiving to all, even those who are not celebrating it on this particular weekend.. or for that matter, at all!

MargieCM said...

So how was it all Stevie? Looking forward to that vid!

Stevie said...

hallo! Things are nutsy here! Besides finishing settling in, our flagship fundraiser for the youth centre is this weekend: Paint The Future, An Evening with Will Ferguson...
I am so sorry to be taking so long.. but I did get to see lesley and dale on monday, and it was sooooo nice! And I have a few good photos Ian took of us, plus one really awful and embarrassing one of me that requires a small explanation... well Dale and Lesley know what it is all about... perhaps they would like to explain... yes girls, he caught THAT one...
I promise to post a few pics tomorrow and borrow a video camera for the weekend... after the gala on Saturday, that is!
much love, miss you all...
