Savannah's birthday is coming up, had issues figuring out what was going to happen but we figured it out. She invited a few friends to a Build- A - Bear party. She is excited, can't blame her. I am trying to figure out what to get her, and today I think I figured it out. I want to buy a kitten. There was one at the pet store this morning and it is on my mind to get it for her. Well not just for her but for us. I think we need a moving around pet, not a stationary pet (fish). Contemplating the issue. Further discussion is needed, like with the landlord.

WEather has been great, we were having breakfast the other day and found ourselves awwing over a rainbow. So I grabbed the camera and took some pictures.
It's a beautiful picture. For some reason it pulls at my heartstrings. I guess it has me feeling that we are ment here. Even with the one inch of frost on the roofs and yards this morning. Though I do miss everyone, I know we are ment to be here, ment to be in a slower and less aggressive culture.

Well it is time to make a snake out of papertowel and toilet paper rolls. Gotta love art!
Leanne!

Haven't Posted in 10 Days

So I have not posted in 10 days. That cold Savannah had last time, well for me turned into a bit of a throat infection. At least I brought some antibiotics with me. I am better now. Savannah has been in and out of fevers, I think due to her allergies but with medication and her nebulizer things are great now. We are both doing well.

Savannah's birthday party was planned this week. We invited 7 of her friends and we are going to build a bear the weekend after her birthday. She and her friends will build creatures and dress them for under a price limit I have prearranged and they get to do goofy stuff. I am going to order some cup cakes to give the kids as they leave, since no food or drink is allowed in build a bear. I think this will be cute and quick. It will last about an hour. After build a bear we (the family) is going to Macaroni Grill, because Savannah likes it there. I just have to go birthday shopping.


So since the weather has been crazy this week with windstorms and massive rain, I have decided today I am going to buy myself a pair of pants and a jacket. Savannah is getting an umbrella. Smart me didnt bring a pair of pants because hummm lets see, I dont own a pair. Yeah smart on my part here huh. So that is our plan for today. As for tomorrow (saturday) we are hanging out at home for a delivery.

But I thought I would update since I had the moments and was feeling better. Much love and we miss you guys so much!

Always,
Leanne

Lots of sun, little heat

We started this week with Canadian Thanksgiving. Savannah and I stayed home all day and hung out in our pj's watching television and playing video games. It was fun. The weather has been bright and sunny but not hot, or even warm. It has been a bit cold and basically anytime you step outside shoes and sweaters are required. Tuesday Savannah had a cold, so we stayed in again. She was being lazy and I was cleaning the house and doing the laundry, basic mommy duties. It was nice though, not rushing anywhere. Yesterday, Wednesday, was a rush rush day. Savannah had ballet practice in the afternoon and we waited for UPS to bring her shoes which were shipped Monday of last week. Finally right before we were getting out to go to practice, the shoes arrived. (UPS SUCKS UP HERE~ GO away BROWN). Grrr them. Today we are up early. Since it the sun doesnt seem to be rising until 7:30am Savannah seems to sleep in a bit which is nice. So yeah today we were up at 6:30am to get Savannah ready for her class at 9 am. We have to leave the house around 8:30am because well we walk everywhere.

Today I have a few things to do, not sure if I am going to do them with Savannah or while Savannah is in class. I have to go grocery shopping so it would be dropp Savannah off at her class and then hall ass over to the grocery store to get the shopping done and bring it home real quick, put it away and then head back down to pick Savannah up. Kind of sounds like a plan. I am slowly but surely taking pictures of the area around us. I just have to make sure it doesnt rain on me because when it rains, it's kinda cold.

Things are going well. I am going to be working more on my books and poetry. Savannah's is still being a kid. She has just learned how to draw a heart. <3 They are so cute!

Have a wonderful day!

We are going along....

Hey Everyone,
I am finally getting things settled enough to get on the net more then once every few days. Things are starting to come together. We had a rough beginning with everything, omg was it terrible. The house is now getting together nicely and Savannah and I are getting tones of stuff done.

I have not put Miss Savannah in kindergarten yet, but she is in a small Canadian class that will help her to adjust to the kindergarten they have. It is doing great things with her and certainly is getting her ready, and getting her use to the other children. Savannah is also in a dance class, it is a ballet class on Wednesday's. She loves it, so far.

The house has some furniture in it. I haven't found a cute couch yet but hey it takes time. I do though have an awesome queen size bed and 27" tele in the bedroom. I have a cute table and chairs and oh the table the tele is sitting on. It is really awesome.

The weather is awesome. It gets "hot" yeah like 70. Hot my ass, damn Canadians. But it rains every other day or so and it gets nice and chilly outside. We are always looking dorky with our sweatshirts and flip flops on.

We seriously live a block away from the mall, so we take regular walks there to get a bit of a workout. I have dropped a few pounds already. I have not found a car yet and I am really not looking, I enjoy the walk and everything is in walking distance.

We had a hell of a wind storm the other night, it was FREAKIN' awesome! The wind was blowing so hard my trashcans moved from one side of the porch to the other. It was quite excellent.

Speaking of quite excellent, we have a new member of the family. Savannah picked out a beta fish that is red and purple. He has a little tank that is purple and his name is Ariel. Yeah his name is Ariel, go figure.

So this is our first pet for now. I saw a beautiful cat today. I wanted to buy him but I am going to wait.

But we are doing well and things are lookin' up. We miss everyone and hope you are all doing well!

Trying to Stay Warm,
Leanne and Savannah
