I am...

A bottle feeding, public schooling, disposable diapering, immunizing mother and proud of it!!!!

I'm not sure what set off this argument in my mind, actually I do know....someone made a comment that they were having to explain to their child why they would not be homeschooling and someone else asked them if they had seriously considered the idea. That, combined with the fact that all the new first time moms I know are going all new-age on me and not immunizing and the fact that Chelsea has her 1 year shots on Friday have got me arguing in my head with these people. I mean no offence but am not ashamed to declare the following:

1. If you judge those who bottle feed you have obviously a) never had a baby or b) have been fortunate enough to have been able to breastfeed. Next time you look at a bottle feeding mommy and tsk, consider that maybe she would love to breastfeed but has chosen not to starve her child with her lack of, or insufficient supply of milk.

2. I am a mother and it breaks my heart when my little girl comes home from school and says " so and so told me they aren't my friend anymore" it makes me want to go to the playground and beat up the little booger who hurt my baby's feelings. But know what? The next day they're best friends again. Kids are resilient. Quick to make friends and quick to forgive and quicker to forget. So to home school my kids to "protect" them is pointless. Yeah peer pressure is tough. But can you imagine how much tougher it will be when they reach adulthood and they can't keep a job because you've taught them that when the going gets tough you quit and stay home? Some people might say they get enough socializing with the friends kids. Well...hate to break it to you....but that's not real life. We all wish we could live in a little bubble of people that love what we love but we are meant to live IN the world. Teach your children to pray and they will know the difference between being IN the world and being OF the world. God will watch our little ones as they set out on the journey through public school if we ask him to. Besides our little lights might be the only bible some other child reads.

3. Cloth diapers - all I have to say about this is "we all had great plans when we only had 1 child". Heehee. Actually I have no problem with this and would likely get more interested if a) I only had 1 child and thus less regular laundry to do b) we didn't have to be careful of our water consumption and c) it wasn't so expensive!! Yeah. I priced it out. I spend the same amount in 2 years of disposables as I would on a set of disposables.

4. To those who don't immunize because they are afraid of autism. Have you truely done any research??? Do you know that when the numbers of Autistic children rose that it was around the time that Autism changed to "Autistic spectrum disorder" which included a range of disorders and not just Autism?? Of course the numbers are going to go up!!! And how dare you rely on me to keep your child safe. And now we are all scratching our heads wonding why the incidents of Polio and menengitis and potentially FATAL childhood diseases are back on the rise. Sigh...

So yes. I guess I am old fashioned. I do all the "wrong" things when it comes to rearing my children. I even.....get ready for it....spank!! Yes when the children are being turds they get disciplined. There is only 1 child in this house that a time out works best for and the others could care less if I put them in a chair all day. Ya do what works with each child.

So there is my rant. I guess it's good I am done with babies. Oh my.....what kind of a grandmother will I be???!!!

So on the other side of life, Steve is doing some work for Mark and Dan so it'll be a week of evenings and weekends where I get to do bedtime. Today they were all snoring by 7:30 so I guess I did good! The evenings go fast when you run from piano to supper and by then it's already bedtime.

The other day it was nearly snowing and now I see that it is supposed to be 20 this weekend!!!! I am so thankful to have nothing to do but yard clean-up this weekend. I am hoping that the weather stays mild-nice for our long weekend. We are both sooooooo excited to get there where there are no computers or work or alarms.....the TV even has terrible reception. It will be pure relaxation. And this year the fall colors will be out for sure!!! I will post pictures.

Well I see it is time for tea and bed.

Love you all
Jen and the 5 loves of her life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELSEA!!!

So, my baby girl is 1. Sigh....this is a not so happy occasion for me. It means no more babies in my world. On one hand it is so nice to be moving on to the next stage. On the other hand....it stinks!!!! I have loved every minute, even the not so great ones, of babyhood. We are selling all our baby stuff at Jess's baby sale today. Have to admit to a few tears as I priced things and packed them up. Chelsea thought all these old toys in the living room were pretty great.

Chelsea's accomplishments in a year:

She can walk, babbles on the phone all the time, screams when she is mad at her sisters, loves food (but then again who doesn't), loves her mom lots (a little too much sometimes) and is overall a pretty precious little princess.

Here's some pictures of her with a few of her birthday gifts. Will post some pictures of the party later. We're doing cake at grandma's on Sunday and then a party with other 1 year old friends Kiera and Tahlia on the 28th.

So here's the next great stage of toddler, preschoolers and schoolers

Love Jen

So much to say about nothing!

Today was a beautiful day! Fall is in the air and I love love love love love it!!! I don't know if I could live in a world without fall. The trees are gorgeous as they change color and die. There is a little spiritual thought for you. The beauty in dying. I just love to stand outside when all is peaceful calm and still and look at the beautiful colors and breath in the crisp night air....ahhhh....

Hey we are not going to Fort Mac! Not right now anyhow. I have to admit I am slightly disappointed. I was looking forward to the debt relief, but alas it was not to be so we just go on about our lives. I need to get applying for more work. Maybe stop being so picky or something.

So last night Steve came home from work sick!!! EEEKS!!! of all the days of course it was the day we have meeting at our place so that left me cleaning the garage too as people come in the back door and Steve usually does that. I was totally worn out last night from our holiday sick and then getting the house ready for meeting and then looking after sick people for the last 3 days. My poor man threw up all meeting and still today went in to work late and isn't feeling good. He never throws up so he must be feeling terrible. Kylie had a relapse tonight now has a fever as well. Sigh....this thing seems to be mutating and getting worse as it goes. It terrifies me, as there is noone left to look after "mom" when she gets sick and I am the only one who hasn't had it. I guess if I get it it's either suck it up or let the kids have free reign.

Today one of the young kids, Kandis, took Ashley and Abby to Chuckie cheese! She is so brave. She is not in very good health and in fact has a broken foot with torn ligaments and yet she's just always smiling. Abby had a great time. So since it was special mom and Kylie day (and our little Chelsea of course) I asked Kylie what she wanted to do. I suggested we go to Chapters and read books. She said "no. go to a mall." I said "I can't buy anything. You still want to go to the mall?" and she said "yah. Walk a mall." So walk a mall we did! I think that is what wore her out and back into sickness. Anyhow, I did find a cute winter snowsuit for Chelsea finally. Had no hand me downs that fit her. Then Kylie got a cheap but super cute outfit. Hence the reason I never go shopping anymore. I always spend money! We watched the sea lions and the people swimming at the waterpark. It was fun hanging out with just 2 kids!!!

Hayley started piano on Tuesday and she thinks it is the greatest thing ever. She has homework 5 days a week which I think is rotten and will be worse if she gets school homework on top of that, but as long as she likes it I guess I should encourage it. It is a program called "Music for young children" and it is 1 hour group lessons once a week. I really like the program layout and think she'll learn lots. They start with learning the black keys which I find super interesting.

Well here is our shopping purchases. Time for bed. Steve is inside now. Had to clean out his van since the project manager is coming to Camrose with him tomorrow and I don't think he'd cleaned in out in the 6 years he'd had it. :) Busy weekend ahead. I babysit 4 extras on Saturday.

Love you all so much. Happy happy fall days to you.

Holidays with kids....always an interesting experience!!

This past long weekend we went to high river so Dan and Steve could help Jim get some new windows in his place and Carrie and I went along with the kids for fun! It was full of adventure with never a dull moment. So Steve and Dan took Abby and Ashley and Carrie and I waited for the big girls to get off of school and we went together a bit later with the 5 other kids. Mom had bought these neat whiteboard things for the kids and so we brought them along for something to do in the car. We look back and Kylie had decided her face made a better whiteboard, so she made herself into a bunny. Sigh......Kylie you are something special.

Then we thought we'd stop at the new mall this side of Calgary for supper and have a look around. We didn't realize what time it was until they announced the shops were closing. So we left at 9pm. I was kinda wishing I'd brought a stroller. Carrying a 25 pound infant for 3 hours was a bit of a workout! But I found Hayley a pair of boots and the most adorable ones for Chelsea! Here they are:

Aren't they sweet? So then we got to the hotel and it was pretty much time for bed. Saturday we did lots of swimming, Sunday we all had meeting together (aunty and uncle Howden, Dan and Carrie, Jim and Janine, and us) and then went out for lunch. There was another family from Edmonton in the meeting with 4 girls and a single mom with a daughter so between 19 people there were only 3 males!!!! Chelsea started running a fever and was really subdued all day. Went to Ryan and Marci's for supper, and then back to the hotel. Sinned and took the kids swimming again.


Not much for a baby to do in the hotel but pull all the kleenex out of the holder.




On Monday at about 4 in the morning Hayley started throwing up. Then Abby joined in at about 7!! This was not good as we had to go home Monday. Anyhow, Janine and Jan came into Calgary and we all went shopping for a bit. Had to pull over halfway there as Abby puked all over herself and the carseat. Hayley and Abby were looking yucky and didn't survive shopping long so Jan and I took the little ones back to the van and read magazines while the others shopped.

So we headed home and it was sooooo funny Carrie and I could do nothing but laugh. The older 3 stayed with their dads and we took the 4 youngest. Kylie started crying right when we left the mall and we had no idea what was wrong.....she later said her dad had died. Not sure what that was all about. Finally she fell asleep and then Abby started crying. She cried all the way to Red deer. We decided we had to stop and get out for supper and as soon as Abby stood up she threw up again all over the floor!! Good grief! What a show! So I had to take this picture of the 10 minutes of peace we had on the trip home. We got home about 10. The guys didn't get home until 2 in the morning. Steve is pretty wiped out this week but they are glad they got the work done and Jim and Janine are very happy with the windows so that's good.



Now it is Wednesday and we have meeting here so I need to go clean the house. Kylie has been throwing up all night so I'm a little tired today but that's life. She's sleeping now so I suppose I should get something done. Here's Kylie today on her turn with the flu!! Sure hope Steve and I avoid this!

Happy rest of the week everyone.

Love Jen and the rest

Another year begins!!

Today was the first day of grade 1 for Hayley. She was so excited!!! She found her friends and ran up to them leaving mom in the dust, picked out a seat at table for 4 making sure she was sitting with those friends. I'm pretty sure she didn't notice when I left. She will have 2 teachers who job share. Both seem nice. Mrs. Kemp and Mrs. Harlton. They also have this really cool interactive whiteboard in the classroom. Won't be long and Hayley will be more high tech than her mom! I should have taken pictures but this one blurry one is all I took. I can't believe how much Hayley has changed since this time last year. Not only that, but last year we were going to school in the dark and this year it was light out! Interesting!! Supposed to be a really cold fall this year. The kids keep asking when it is going to be winter so I guess they don't mind. I like the cooler weather too.

So Steve still doesn't know about Fort Mac and so I am not worrying about it until it happens. All I know is I will for sure be staying here until June as I am NOT moving the kids with only 3 months left of school. Then we'll have the summer together and will decide then.....if it even happens.

I just realized this morning that is has been 6 months since any of us has been sick!!! I'm sure I've just jinxed myself, but I thought that was amazing being that there are 6 of us in the house. Of course that will change now that school is back in and mom is getting a lot less sleep and no afternoon nap. I think my husband has decided that stay-at-home moms have the easiest job ever since a few times of getting up early I've snuck in an afternoon nap.

Speaking of being tired, Abby's preschool time and day changed 3 times yesterday!!!! The dumb thing is I was told she would be going Tues/Thurs mornings so I agreed to a Monday afternoon playgroup time and mon/wed morning swimming lessons for November. Then it all got changed so I changed swimming lessons, and then it got changed again, and now......ARGHHHHH....I will be at the pool every day in November (no snow please!!!!) plus Abby will be at school 3 half days a week and I will have to miss playgroup (this was my special time with adults so I'm a little ticked about that.) Oh well.....it is only for a year. Between School, swimming, piano, and soccer I don't think I am going to have the time to even breathe this year.

Well I don't know anything else. I am glad that we are getting back into a routine. It is important for us all!!

Love you all

Jen

What to do....what to do....what would YOU do?

Here is a little video of Chelsea WALKING!! Please excuse Abby whining in the background. It had been a very long day and she was DONE! This was a few days ago and now she can do about 6 steps in a row before she falls over. I have loved the baby stage and get very sad when I wash and prepare the baby things to sell but I am looking forward to having older kids too....I guess. Holidays will be more fun that's for sure, but Chelsea is a little snuggler and I will miss that.

Here's a picture of my chunky muffin.

So Steve told me the other day that his boss bid on a job out in Fort Mac (fort mcmurray). If you look on a map, this is literally the end of the world. The road ends there. You can't go any further North (on that highway anyhow). He is wondering if Steve wants to run the job. That means moving there. Today he tells me they are one step closer to getting the job so we need to seriously consider what we want to do. There are a lot of financial perks, so I either uproot the kids and go with him or stay here and only see Steve weekends and holidays. Here is my little list of pros and cons. Perhaps you could add to it.

PROS:

1. IF I move there with Steve we have no living expenses for a year plus a bonus (this means selling or renting out our house in the interim). This would eradicate our debt and leave a little to splurge on a holiday perhaps.

2. If I stay here there is still a good bonus involved but the kids get to keep their routine.

CONS:

1. If I move there with Steve I am uprooting the kids from their lives and activities. Ex: Abby would miss starting kindergarten with the kids she met in preschool (remember this is important as Abby is very shy) and Kylie would miss out on preschool all together. I would home school Hayley for the year.

2. If I stay here I am basically a single parent for a year (granted any time we are apart from Steve it means school is on and we will keep very busy anyhow) and we still have to pay our mortgage.

Hmmm....so you see the sides are pretty even. I do like the idea of being totally debt free with only our mortgage as debt.....HELP!!!!!!

Well that's really all that's new in our lives right now. Tonight the dirt guy is coming to level the area where we ripped out some tree and we are going to put wood chips down so it should be looking snazzy around the firepit area soon. I will attach some before and after pictures next blogging session.

Wish we could be in Florida with mom and dad and the other Campbells, but alas we are not so I am just soaking up these cool evening and looking forward to fall. We decided to go to Kananaskis after all so that's something else to look forward to.

Love you all!!

Jen and family

HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY STEVIE!!!

Yesterday was my hubby's 29th birthday. Last year in his 20s. Poor guy. He's growing old. This year is not off to the best start for him. He bought himself a really nice gift. Cost 129$. He donated 129$ to Police Services in Edmonton. When we were coming home from the Ukrainian Cultural Village on July 24th he was apparently trying to catch up to aunty and uncle. The speeding cameras on Yellowhead were working that day. Oh dear. At least it was him and not me!!! :)

Today is an incredible smoky day!! Apparently the smoke is coming from forest fires in BC. I'd hate to see the air there!!! Visibility on the highways are nil. These pictures don't do it justice. This is the lane in front of our house and the poor sun trying to get through the smoke. I don't know how exactly they measure air quality, but a really bad air day in Edmonton is 1.5 million particles of something-or-other and today it is 90 MILLION!!!! They are warning people to stay inside as our lungs have to work 100 times harder than normal to purify the air we are breathing. I'm sure the ER is SWAMPED with asthmatics today. It's a good test for Chelsea. I don't think she has respiratory problems anymore, she seems to be breathing okay. Wish you could smell it. I actually like the smell but it does give a person a bit of a sore throat.

Toward our mailboxes

The other direction

Other than that we have been just plugging away at life. We aren't sure if we are going to get to go to Kananaskis this year and I will literally die inside if we don't. September is a HORRIBLY expensive month now with school expenses, preschool, swimming lessons and piano lessons. That and not knowing if Steve gets a bonus and not wanting to actually spend it before it's in the bank if he does, is creating a stay-at-home year:( Makes me very sad. There is something harsh about being housebound but even worse is a year of being city bound. Oh well.....such is life.

Here are a few pictures of our goings on. Chelsea is trying so hard to be walking but is lacking confidence. She STILL will not let anyone hold her but mom and dad and it is REALLY getting old. Someone told me in the store the other day that their granddaughter went through that until she was 3!!!!! I'm not sure what to do. I can't just hire a babysitter and leave her cuz that costs money, so that option is out. She's so good when we're home but when there are other people around she's a mess. Makes me sad. Wish the last one had been an easy one. Oh well.

Watching her sisters play outside

She can stand up all by herself in the middle of the floor now

Not confident enough to let go even though she knows she can do it.

The 3 stooges.

I see why people think they're twins now!

How many days until school starts??

Hayley has been asking me this every day for a month and now I am starting to ask too!! We went to Costco today in the 28 degree heat with no air conditioning in the van and the kids did so good (with the exception of everyone having to pee 3 seconds after I had started shopping) and then we went to superstore to get what we couldn't get at costco and they were WIRED!!! YIKES!! And of course had to pee 3 seconds after I started shopping. It was a long day for everyone. I think 3 is easy to shop with. 4 is not. So I guess my summer shopping will have to be done in the evening when Steve is home.

Chelsea has developed an ear shattering scream when things don't go her way, and so when Kylie took a bite of her cookie in the grocery store, I thought all the pickles would splatter all over the floor after the glass was done shattering. Time for spankings. She DEFINATELY knows what is acceptable and what is not if she's asserting herself now.

Another brief complaint. I got asked 9 times if all the girls were mine (no I jsut take random people's kids grocery shopping!) and then someone said (or two or 3 people said) "Oh 3 girls and a boy?" and I ever so patiently grit my teeth and say "Nope. 4 girls." Well this one lady says "Even this one?" pointing to KYLIE who was wearing a green, blue, and PINK DRESS!!!! " No you dumb lady. I just dress my boy up like a girl. And don't get me started on the number of people who, once they know I have 4 girls, say "oh you poor lady." WHAT??!?!! Next time I am going to ask what they have for kids and then express my sympathy to THEM and see how they react. One lady said she had 3 girls but then finally got her boy. I should have said "Oh that's too bad. Couldn't keep a good thing going huh?" (Nothing against boys I would be just as frustrated if I had 4 boys and people made dumb comments!)

Okay so there is my rant. I also got thinking in the store that I wished I had perfectly well behaved kids who walked slowly and calmly and always listened but I quickly squashed that thought. I've known some perfect children and they are never happy. It's like they don't even know how to be a child and they're socially completely lost because they've been taught to act like an adult from birth. At least when my kids are giggly and hyper and running around I can rest assured that they are enjoying their childhood. There is a difference between good behavior and perfectly behaved. I ache for the perfectly behaved children of the world and am thankful for (mostly) well behaved.

Time to get supper on. A beautifully seasoned pork loin, corn on the cob and....something else but don't know what. Maybe broccoli. Another very hot day today. Hoping for a cooling thunderstorm tonight.

Love you all who take time to listen to me complain!! :)

The luckiest wife/mom in the world.

Today's lesson....don't run with objects in your mouth

We have very dangerous blinds downstairs. Kylie likes to wrap things around her neck. One time after going out for supper and getting a balloon, we hear a gagging sound on the way home.... Needless to say it's a good thing I have a "mother's purse" as I had to whip out my scissors and Steve had to cut the string off from around Kylie's neck. So you can imagin how it is with all the blinds in our house. We have to tightly wrap the cord up and away because Kylie likes to wrap them around her neck. Never thought I'd have to worry about the 6 year old!! She didn't wrap the cord around her neck, she took the stick off that twists the blinds open and closed and had it in her mouth and tripped....the end result was a round bleeding hole in her soft palate!!! Silly kid. She screamed and I thought she would be on fluids forever but seems to be a little better today. The picture doesn't show just how nasty it was as it had stopped bleeding. Sigh....

We had a good time at the splash park the other day. The water is FREEZING and I don't know how the kids stand it. Abby, the princess of the family, doesn't stand it. She just sun tans.

This is what Chelsea did the whole time.

Kylie has always loved the water
She thought this might be a great place to sit and pee.

Abby doing what she does best:)

Not sure what just happened here.

Having a reverse shower

3 of our 4 muffins.

So the time has come for Steve and I to take a holiday alone. Chelsea is not the world's most content baby. Others have even noticed. She cries ALOT! Someone said to me the other day "I don't know how you do it." and frankly, I never ever understood why anyone would want to take a holiday without their kids. Well...I have reached that point. some times after a rough day I just want to sit down and throw a temper tantrum myself. I think if I could even have a few days alone with Steve that I would come back a much better mother. So mommy and daddy have kindly offered to watch our kids while we do a 30th birthday/10 year anniversary thing next year. The choice now is to find a hotel in Florida or splurge and go to St. Lucia. Hmmmm.....tough decision. Just hope it happens soon before I completely lose my ability to function.

Well here's to a wonderful week. Love you all

The Little Campbell's

For a dose of humility....have children!!

This is how we are all feeling....









Well so much to say....how to keep it short. We'll start in the middle of last week. We had a wonderful short time with Lorne and Michelle Gale and their 3 cuties, and the day after they headed for home, great-grandma Krapu, aunty De and uncle Michael arrived. Or as Abby would call him..."great-grandpa!" we're not sure where that came from but it sure was funny. The day they arrived we grabbed a fast bite of lunch and headed out to The Ukrainian Cultural Village. I had never been there, and thought they might enjoy it (and I think they really did so that was good). Aunty even got to speak Ukrainian with a few people there. As we were packing to leave, I thought to myself. BUMMER!!!! I am getting a migraine. My symptoms are always the same: A black spot whereever I try to focus and random flashing lights. So I quickly downed 2 extra strength Tylenol and a can of coke. My usual remedy. Didn't work. While the others toured the Village I sat in the van with my eyes closed or leaning out of the van heaving and losing lunch all over the parking lot. Felt better by supper time and M&D treated us all to a yummy supper.

Monday was more bonding time and supper and G&J's. Tuesday we went
out for supper thanks to gramma and had another yummy meal. (We ate lots. Can ya tell?). My kids were HORRIBLE!!! Okay maybe not so bad, but with all the company and the late nights and hot weather and blah blah blah excuse excuse, they had absolutely had it. They could NOT sit still at the restaurant, Chelsea cried the whole time, and I was utterly embaressed.


The next morning I woke up to a very strong smell of something that had to have been somehow excreted from someone's body after first sitting in their acidic insides. Walked into the girls room and there is at least half a pail of puke all over the lower bunk and the floor and the books and everywhere. It was right where Abby had gone to sleep. So I throw Abby in the tub, all the while she is insisting that SHE DIDN'T PUKE LAST NIGHT. Well when Hayley gets up I noticed puke on her face. I asked why she didn't wake me up. She said " I just moved up to the top bunk." GROSSS!!! But thanks Hayley for letting mom sleep. I figure it's from an overabundance of JUNK! So we are veggying it for several days now. She had a birthday party on Tuesday and had chicken and fries and pizza and homemade icecream and cake. Then we picked her up and went out for supper. I think I'd vomit if I ate all that too!!!


Today we went to the grocery store. I was standing beside some man looking at shampoo and Hayley yells out " HEY MOM ARE YOU STILL BLEEDING?? DO YOU NEED SOME TAMPONS??" No Hayley. Thank you very much though.

Then we got outside and Abby lifted her new backpack out of the cart and somehow the cart tipped over on it's side (thankgoodness no one was in it) and the milk exploded EVERYWHERE. Well it is so INCREDIBLY hot and humid here that I just wanted to get home so we didn't go replace the milk. We have no air conditioning in the van so that makes it worse. When we got home Steve says "What did you do to the van????" Apparently the cart left a massive dent in the front. EEKS!! It has now been decided that when I get my diesel F350 that we'll just have to keep the van as a second vehicle because I've trashed it so much we'll never get anything for it! OOPS!

Lets see....what else....oh apparently my daughter's speech AND language is in the normal range!! The reason she is hard to understand sometimes is that she is missing her "s" and "sh" sounds. 2 of the most common used sounds in the Engligh language. Try it. If Kylie were to say "She sat on my skirt" You would hear "Dee tat on my Dirt." But she is anxious to learn her s so we are going to work hard on that this year and she'll be reassessed in 4 months if I don't see too big of an improvement. If her ears get cleared out then I expect we'll see a HUGE jump in her speech.

Here's my baby. She is having such a rough time without her 2 big naps a day. We are now going to work on getting back into a routine. She is getting up on her hands and feet and ALMOST stands up without holding on to anything. I think in a month or so she should be able to do it. I pulled out more clothes for her today and got all nostalgic and sad that this is the last time some of this stuff will get worn. I see why people say the last is spoiled. I love every moment of Chelsea's babyhood. It helps that she loves to burrow her head in and snuggle me.

Abby got a backpack today that is almost as big as her!! I refuse to buy a new one every year so this one will have to try and last until grade 2. Hayley's has lasted that long so hope this one will too. She is sooooo excited. I am excited for her....and a little sad. In a few short years I'll be all alone :(

Well...as time marches onward I am marching to bed. Tomorrow if it is this hot we are going to the splashpark. Come join us. It's free!! Except the cost of after swimming slurpees.

Oh and Steve is almost done at Camrose. His next project is building a house for an architect so you can imagin what the house is like. Very unique. It will be the first house in Edmonton to be run completely on solar power. I can't wait for him to be done out in Camrose.

Love you all

Jen
