Winnipeg in March!

We had a whirl-wind visit with Kevin & Becky at the end of March. I'll have some pics up as soon as Paul downloads the last batch of our various adventures from the camera.

Kevin & Becky graciously put up with our Base house-hunting, trying to get to know Winnipeg "in 2 days or less" :), and shared their church with us on Sunday. They took Milena and Nathan to see "Happy Feet" and then to McDonalds for supper (Milena was in heaven!) while Paul and I celebrated our 19th anniversary at "Tavern on the Green" (if I have the name wrong, plse forgive me!) which was a beautiful restaurant in the center of Assiniboia Park. It was fancy cuisine a la "The Dove", unlike anything you can get it Moose Jaw! About the fanciest thing you can get in Moose Jaw is Houston Pizza! Lol!

The night was completely fogged in, so that even though we were seated in the Atrium and open to the night sky, the closest thing we could see was the candlelight and each other. :)

We had to limit Milena's sweet hands from feeling baby kicks, otherwise she would've been glued to Becky's stomach everywhere Becky went in the house. :) Milena & Nathan are very excited about the soon-to-happen birth of their new cousin.

Kev & Becky also threw a fancy dinner for us on our last night - celebrating Nathan, Paul, and my birthdays, as well as our anniversary. Kev decorated the LR/DR with balloons and streamers, and bought Spiderman napkins and Happy Feet cups to complete the atmosphere for Nathan's birthday. A sensitive, and loving aunt and uncle! Nathan was thrilled with his Spiderman PS2 game from Gramma & Grampa Wood as well. Not to mention his Superman birthday card which plays the theme song. :)

We did find a house which is perfect for us, as long as it's still available in July. A beautiful 4 bdrm, detached house with a garage, on a quiet crescent across from a play park. Nathan and Milena don't play on swings and jungle gyms anymore, but it was a hopeful sign that there're children in the neighborhood. The address is 277 Ubique Cres., so plse keep this in your prayers, as it would be wonderful to have a house with all the things we need/want. Did I mention that the basement is finished? Not to mention extra shelving etc. in the laundry room. A military wife's dream house!

A big thank you to Kev & Becky for a wonderful visit, and the Birthday Party. It was so nice to get together with family again. As I said, pictures to follow as soon as Paul gets some time from studying etc. Stay tuned!
