Sorry

I have been informed by more than one person that someone out there or several someone's are still checking out my blog, and that I have been bad about posting new pictures. You are right I thought that no one was looking and I was getting lazy and was thinking about shutting the blog down. So with the new year starting I will make a new commitment to the blog, so here we go....

Some random pictures

These were some of the pictures I meant to publish before Grandma got sick...

Kava in Edmonton

Of course the visit had to have a Kava night! My family got to enjoy Kava again (first time at Erick and Michelle's wedding) and this time with a traditional bowl known as a Tanoa and serving cups, bilo.

Edmonton

I decided I need sometime away which is funny considering that I have been away for almost 4 years, but after all that has been happening in the family I decided I needed to see Josie and the family. The girls have been missing Ceva and we have been missing them so off we went to Edmonton....

Stan joined us later in the week as a surprise for Chris and the girls, that was a hard secret to keep, but totally worth it!

overwhelmed

Well the family has been feeling overwhelmed. Grandma passed away which was hard on the family and then 5 days later her sister whom she talked to every night! passed away in Calgary. It has been a sad and reflective time for our family.

Goodbyes

Today our family said goodbye to our Grandma Emily "Peggy" Petersen. She passed away this morning.
