Jour 7

Hello, hello, hello

Another productive day around the house, more Pyper brushing...

Here are some pictures of the day :

Here are your coming back home presents, all wrapped up!

Here is the glamorous garage door, without the half broken yellowed-white plastic fringe, YES, it's finally gone!

I feel bad about our baseboards, not having them back up. Here is a little consolation, 3 matching baseboards around the doorframe of the small mainfloor bathroom... yay

And here is me, with my new Step 10 glasses, bringing me a new and healthier outlook on life.

The pool is clean and will be warm tomorrow, the fridge is full, laundry done, plants watered, animals all cute.

I'll have a meal for you guys when you come back. Maybe you can text me one hour before you get in so I can get the meal ready.

I am going out soon here to meet with my counsellor and then off to CoDA.

I wish you all a good night, a safe drive tomorrow and l look forward to give you guys a hug.

I miss you.

Jour 6

Bonsoir mes amours,

Good day overall today. The birdies have a clean cage, Pyper got a good brush on her face - she loves it - I got myself some work shoes (thank you to the student who gave me a $50 gift card!) I got you guys a second little surprise.

I texted with mom for over an hour this morning, no fights :-)

I got another lightbulb for the ceiling lamp in the kitchen to no avail - this one is for the electrician. I cleaned in the garage - it looks slightly more organized.

You thought you found slenderman?

I give you slendercat!!!

Doesn't he looks slender?

And yes, I fond this awesome instore recycling box at RONA, where I can drop CFL lightbulbs AND old batteries! After touring the city to find a place where I could recycle bulbs and batteries, I even went to CUC to no avail, I found a spot where I can recycle both! Awesome!

I found an online class for Minecraft, to learn to code for Minecraft (you build codes that can then be imported into Minecraft), it's definitely a cool thing. I sent the links to Nico's email if he's interested.

I want to register to a Kendo class on Wednesday evenings at the YMCA - is yoga on Wednesday Tamara or is it another day? They also have Kendo on Sunday afternoons. I need physical activity - it felt so good doing manual work this week. I always loved Kendo. I wanted to register some years ago and never did. And I don't need special glasses for that!

Registration is open for soccer. I saw Bryce and he won't coach because Gavin will do basketball instead. Does Liam want to do it anyway? I won't coach given all our activities (wushu, bball, yoga)

Enjoy nature to the max! And don't forget to thank Mom for your Wonderful trip - it sounds fun filled - I wished I would have had a dynamic mom like yours! Thanks Tamara.

Hug everybody.

-Papa (Seb)

Jour 5

Wed, 20 Aug 2014 00:02:02 +0100

After years of waiting, after hours of sweaty labour (true, true, it took me for ever and it was so hot today) I give give you....

The stair nosing :-)

Real name and all

Because I hadn't had enough, I tried to fix the weird door latches (sunroom and front door). Learned a lot and... fixed the front and made some progress on the sunroom door :-)

Animals are all good, well fed and all accounted for.

I'll go watch a cheap movie at the rainbow tonight.

Tired papa signing off.

Yes, yes I'll work on the garage tomorrow, after the van get serviced...

Tired of renos now.

I'll brush Pyper.

See ya

Jour 4

Tue, 19 Aug 2014 04:20:04 +0100

Hi guys,

I am going to my Coda meeting now and won't write on the way back so here's my report.

I put up some shelves in Liam's and my bedroom today. It's fun to help organize our house! Now I'll have to start picking stuff up!

Pictures of the shelves will be up tomorrow.

Talking about pictures... I am starting to use Flicker. It makes uploading pictures really easy. I am not often comfortable putting our pictures on Facebook, and email and blog is timely. I find Flicker fast and intuitive. I suggest we all contribute our pictures (taken with our handy hand held devices) to a family webpage; this way, we don't have to send them back and forth- just post them. Only the ones we want to share between ourselves of course. Anyway, I sent you guys a link to sign up to Flicker. Please sign in the la famille rock group and see a fantastic picture of Chester's teeth and more!

All animals are good. Pyper is back to her regular food and she got a good brush today. The birds really enjoyed the company when I worked upstairs and Vanillapea was so cute last night climbing up to eat - such a cutie.

Tomorrow is pick up day. I feel bad because they haven't picked up our recycling yet again today - it's been a month!!!

I could use a scenic view now but I feel really good about my jobs so far.

I don't want to go clean the garage but I will start tomorrow.

I am just about to buy a dishwasher.

Enjoy your 5 more Albertan sleeps. Love you all.

Thanks for sharing the zoo pictures! Ah those baboons!

Here is the result of my painting job today.

It looks good in real, I don't know about the pictures.

I am pooped but it feels good to have it done.

Ah yes, animals, for today, here are Pyper and Boomey - others to come tomorrow.

Think of me while you're relaxing in the mountains.

Tomorrow will be more relaxed for me.

Sabara is a cool name for a rhino :-)

Talk to you tomorrow!

Jour 2

Sun, 17 Aug 2014 02:21:42 +0100

Bonsoir,

Another good day at the Rock Zoo. The Cats showed up last night had their breakfast this morning and went out for the day. Pyper is out of bland canned food and is not too interested in her kibbles yet. Vanilla is sleeping now - cute. The birds are expecting their supper right now.

I finished painting the sunroom, yay! - see picture attached.

I tried to edit the videos of wushu but Nico will have to see them when he comes back - techno glitch.

I also attached my first electronic song.

I hope Liam is gettiing his feet wet and that Sophie is getting lots of giggles with her friend.

Love you all.

Papa.

Jour 1

Sun, 17 Aug 2014 01:53:19 +0100

Hi there, bonsoir tout le monde,

Today, at the Rock Zoo, Pyper got another nice walk around the hill and a gentle look at Vanilla Pea, who's presently sniffing about in the corner of her wonderful cage. Snitch and Oz got to eat on my hand and the cats are making themselves wanted.

I filmed a video of Nico's Wushu school demonstration at the Asia-Pacific pavilion -hopefully I can upload it soon -it was really cool! I got all of you guys, including mom, a little souvenir from that pavilion. There were two young guys from Thailand doing a Diablo routine, they were impressive, and a girl from Saskatoon who was so good.

I am done painting the deep blue paint on the sunroom and got a haircut.

Don't miss your daily updates tomorrow night.

Love you all.

Papa (Seb)
