Okay, so I didn't get the pictures up today. I'm sorry. Maybe on Friday? We're going to be busy tomorrow, so I doubt I'll even have a chance to get on the internet, much less blog.
I wasn't planning on being busy today. But Art woke me up when he was coming back from his early-morning shift and asked if I wanted to go to Wayne and Sozan's. I showered and headed on over there. Sozan was wonderful enough to make brunch for us since we have practically no food in our house right now.
We came back over here around 2:30, and the computers have been occupied by others since that time. But we let them do that, because they don't have internet. I feel bad though, because the supper hour has come and gone, and we have nothing to feed our guests! We'll we have oranges. But that's not really dinner.
Also, I completely lost my motivation for unpacking everything, so I pulled out a puzzle instead. Yes, I came home from Manitoba with THREE puzzles in my suitcase! My mom bought me one, and the other two they already had. My parents basically spoiled us this week; it was a wonderful treat. Thanks Mom and Dad!
Speaking of mom and dad, I should probably call them. Because we said we were going to do that when we got home, but then we got home MUCH later than we were supposed to. Which is another story for another time.
I hope you are enjoying beautiful weather wherever you are, because I don't want to have this sunshine all to myself. It's finally spring!

The Cat is Out of the Bag
For those of you are regulars, you probably know that I update my blog nearly everyday. Maybe you've been wondering where I've been these past few days.
I haven't been blogging because I am not in Washington. Art and I are in Manitoba for a week, visiting my family for Easter. We were trying to surprise my extended families, so I couldn't say anything on here, or on Facebook, and I couldn't think of anything to write instead.
Also, we've been busy.
We flew in on Tuesday afternoon, and had my sister and bro-in-law over for dinner. We saw them again on Wednesday, we went to their place on Thursday, and brought Kiera home with us for night, and then went to a family gathering on Friday. We had another family gathering today, and played Would You Rather for a few hours.
Some people knew we were going to be here, but we managed to surprise the majority. And it's been fairly easy to keep the secret, because we only decided a couple of weeks ago.
I didn't realize how much I've missed my family until I spent some time with them. I think I am one of those lucky few who has a large extended family, and I love them all. We don't fight, and we don't have "that one relative" who is weird or crazy or annoying. It's never awkward when we all get together; it's just a really good time.
I have missed Kiera a lot, and she is getting bigger and smarter and cuter! I think her vocabulary is up to 50 words by now. The last time I saw her (in October) she was just saying "Hi!" Now she says Dada and Mama and Please, and she just started saying Neenee!! I can't get enough of that one (since I am Auntie Neenee). I got a video of it, which I'll put up when we get home.
My parents' computer is a little bit too old to recognize my camera, so I can't upload photos or videos when I'm here. You'll see them next week.
And the final bit of news (which I only found out about on Tuesday) is that my sister is pregnant!!! She is nearly 11 weeks along, and she is already showing (she didn't show this early with her first one). She is due November 1st or 2nd, which happens to be right after Kiera's birthday. I happen to think it's a boy; we'll see if I'm right.
I'm planning on putting up one of those baby counters at the top of my blog, so just know that it's for my older sister, and not for me.
Well, I feel much better now that I've blogged all about it. It's hard keeping those types of secrets! Art and I will be busy tomorrow and Monday, and then we fly out Tuesday. So don't expect to hear more from me until Wednesday. Happy Easter everyone!
