Becoming Albertans

We have now been residents of Alberta for 3 months and the warm weather is officially here!  Airdrie is quite a nice city to live in although we only have a limited amount of time to really enjoy things as I work in Calgary.

The boys seem to be adjusting to our new house very well.  Coltrane completed his short soccer season and actually appeared to understand a little bit about the game by the end.  We finally cut Adderley’s baby hair and he now looks like confident little boy when stomping around at the park.  I have a sneaky suspicion that this weather is not going to last much past September, I grew up in Winnipeg so I’m no fool!  

The family just returned from a road trip back to BC.  The boys managed to survive the two-day drive thanks to lots of toys, the DVD player in the car and regular stops for treats.  Cole and Lee spent a lot of time with both sets of grandparents.  Cole discovered the BMX Park behind his Baba’s house, which he instantly fell in love with.  Adderley road his first horse solo at the tender age of 15 months, kinda!

It will take time to feel at home outside of BC and we were sad to finally leave.

Work has been as busy as usually, so taking a week off to visit family was challenging from that perspective.  As of late, I have another live show to orchestrate this Saturday and I have been attending many work related functions.  It is challenging to attend events when you have a family at home but we managed to keep it balanced.  The staff at RED FM is great, it has been a pleasure to work with a new “crop” of talent.  We will likely have a staff party in Penticton this year in the end of August, more on that in the next post!

Things are great and when my new car shows up in 2 weeks, they will be even better ;)
