Hello to all. So to much to write about in January because we where still in MI for some of the time. Some exciting news that has happened to us is Kelly got a job working at a Machine shop in town. We are very excited and ready to see what this new adventure has for us. The hours are Monday - Thursday 2 p.m. till midnight. Not the greatest hours but that's how they train people so it will pry change over the next few months. We also started meetings on Sunday so I have to try and get everyone to church by myself. After doing that once I decided we will be better off staying home and listening. It's a lot taking 3 kids and one being a baby to church. They all sat with me. We got into church and sat down and soon Nigel needed to pee. So I got up with Margo and took him out. Just got settled back in and Margo needed a nap. I tried to put her to sleep in the bench but it didn't work this time. So up I get taking both kids with me because I have know idea how long this will take. Well I just decided it wasn't worth it. So we will stay home till Kelly can join us.  Tonight church was canceled because of weather. So back to the month of January. On the 9th we got back to Calgary. It was late and very cold. We started home and the roads got bad so we stopped in Red Deer for night. The 10th we drove to Edmonton and made a few stopped and then headed home. Got home around 9ish if I remember right. the 12th we took Margo to the ER. If I remember right she had a really bad cough and we wanted to make sure it wasn't bad. The 13th Kelly had a fire call. The 16th I had a physio appointment in the morning and then we ran to town for groceries. So I decided that instead of trying to clean my whole house in one day that I would do one room and day so it would be easier to keep up and I have told myself that it's ok if that's all I get done in a day. The 18th I cleaned the kitchen. The 20th we went to Spring Lake. It's really close to us and it has a ski lift and sledding hill. Kelly went snow boarding and Heidi and Nigel went sledding. I stayed in the lodge with Margo. I was sick also. I had a sinus infection. They don't treat it right away here. First they have you try other things like a nettie pot and nasal spray to see if it takes care of it. Well it worked for a few weeks and now i'm now on antibiotics for it. The 22nd Jason and Carissa got here with there little baby Jacob. I cleaned the living room. In the evening we went to Tony's for supper. Well i'm seeing as i type this i didn't do very good with writing everything down. At some point before this I did clean the bathroom really good. Kelly's folks and Isaac where gone this whole time in Haiti. They came home on the 2nd of February. Also I made supper for Heather and took it to her. Ricky also joined us for supper. Heather was also over a lot because Marshal was gone some of the time as well. Back to the 23rd. We got the news in the morning that Isaac's mom had passed. Kelly went over to folks to be with Heather. I went to sewing for a bit and then to folks.  We went to folks in the evening for supper. The very nice people of the congregation brought food in most very night till folks got home. Lorne's and Tony's left the 24th to fly to Haiti for the funeral. I cleaning the dinning room really good. Heidi and Margo had shots in the afternoon. We went to folks for the evening. The 25th I had another physio appointment in the morning. We where at folks in the evening. The 26th I cleaned up the kids room good and got rid of broken toys and such. I also made breakfast because the funeral was the 27th and 5:30 in the morning. I made cinnamon rolls, raspberry cream cheese rolls, biscuits and gravy, and an egg casserole. The 27 the I had the breakfast over at folks by 8:00. Well that's all I have written down except that I took Heidi and Nigel for haircuts. I know ones of those days right after the funeral we went to folks for supper and then one night they all came here for supper.  Well that is all for this time. Next month I will try and do better. We are trying to figure out a bit of a schedule since Kelly got a job. Maybe by next month we will have this a little more normal. For those of you who are new here welcome. Please excuse my spelling mistakes as I normally type this late at night and spelling doesn't come easy for me. Till next time.....
