"I'll be HOME for Christmas".... literally! We're moving back to CALGARY!

Well Lisa, you asked for it, so here it is! Where do I begin...

In January, Lawrence & I decided that as a family, we are happy, but as a family and 2 individuals in BC, we are both ridiculously miserable and lonely, missing our friends and family.

We went to Calgary in January, February, May and July......

In May, we decided we needed to sit down and create an 'Exit Strategy' and start thinking about packing it up and heading East (It's sure a lot more difficult and complicated than when we left!).

Upon our return after our July visit, we were 100% committed to making it happen and making it happen FAST.


AUGUST: In early august. Lawrence told his boss we wanted to move back to Calgary so he may be job hunting - just in case it got back to him (it's a small industry, word travels fast). He also told his boss how he really does like the company he works for, their ideologies and business practice, and was wondering what the chances were of an opportunity at their sister company in Calgary ('AG' Associated Grocers).

His boss then started to talk to the AG guys. a few weeks later, they told Lair they would Create a position for him and to hang tight while all the details were hashed out...

We spent the month purging items we didn't want/need anymore. I had a virtual garage sale on Craiglist/Kijiji and sold TONS of random household items & baby stuff and made a fair penny! We started talking with Jen Mikla about mortgages and Tom Sherry about Calgary Real Estate. Tom referred a local Realtor who we met with to chat about Abbotsford Real Estate.

Lair replaced 7 light fixtures, we updated all the door knobs and closet handles. So August came and went. We were pretty disappointed as we had full intentions of listing our place for Sept 01.

SEPTEMBER: We decided to freshen the WHOLE main floor (Excluding 1/2 bath), stairwell top to bottom and upper hallway with new (boring neutral) paint. First we were going to get a painter in ($1000+), then decided to tackle it ourselves, saving the money for the move. What an ordeal! Week nights we were unable to do anything until Quinn was in bed, and 2 full weekends we sent him off to a sitter and worked none stop. We got it done, but man, what a chore. The house was upside down for so long; It was pretty hard on us.

In mid Sept, work got back to Lawrence with a drafted idea. If he was willing to leave the Buyers position and go back into the Warehouse side of things, they want him to go into a Supervisory/Produce Quality Control roll. Lair said sure.

Sept 24, a big-wig from Alberta came out here to officially outline and offer Lawrence the job. :) And he accepted! They won't pay for our move as we asked, however, the new roll includes and extra week of holidays and a $5000/year raise. They have asked him to start on December 1st if possible!

October. On the 1st we listed our home. This was good news/bad news. The good news is, our house is on the market. The bad news is, the market is terrible right now for selling. Being that we have to take off in +/- 60 days, we can't list high and gamble that we will get any bites. So we've listed pretty much at Fair Market Value. We bought the place 23 months ago for #231,500... We are asking $237,555... I was pretty disappointed as I was really hoping to ask $247k... :( Boo.... As well, there are 3 unit up in our complex. Let's just hope that our shows the best and it is priced right.

Our Real Estate team is helping a friend start their home staging business. They are offering a complimentary consultation (Usually $100/hr). He came over today. We've done a pretty good job so far, only a few minor suggestions to help it show a little better. But 2 MAJOR suggestions that suck.

#1, paint the basement a neutral color. Now we are not stupid, we totally understand why, but we were thinking whoever moves in will just paint over it (like we did when we moved in). But the Stagger brought up a good point. It may only truly appeal to 50% (or less) of any potential buyers... the other other half may totally disregard our unit because (a) they hate the color, and (b) think it would be too much work/$$ to paint over it....

So, it looks like we will have to cave and paint the rumpus room a dull boring bland color. We understand that it has to be done to help attract buyers. This would be a Big project and by the time we add up child care, paint, more supplies and Time - it's not worth it for us to do it. We will get some painters in to Quote it - if they can do it for under $500 we'll get them to do it.

Suggestion #2 - to paint over Quinn's mural... :(

I really really really don't want to do this (yet).... The demographic of who will be buying this place is a Young Family. I'm hoping a young family comes in and sees it and fall in love with it for their child....

As well, Quinn's life is about to be completely turned upside down, I want to keep as much normalcy as possible until the move....

So we will talk it over with the Realtor. I want to here the feedback after a few showings before I send Lair in there with a paint roller.... :( Meh.



SO - that's pretty much it. Now we are getting ready to pack up what we can, and try to keep our place in 'show home' condition for the next two months.



OH - I guess I left out some pretty important details about the move.


So, originally, I wanted to move back to Calgary and NOT tell my MOM! I was going to unpack and settle for a week, then tell her I was popping into town and have her come to my 'friends' place then tell her.... Ya, LOL, I think that would have been awesome....

BUT, things are not going to be so smooth.

Real Estate in Abbotsford is sitting on the market for 3-4 months.... So originally we were thinking Lair would head to Calgary, start his new job and couch surf for a week at a time from friend to friend while Quinn and I stayed here, packed and tried to sell the house...

Ya, right. Well, there is no way I could handle being stuck here over the holidays in the rain separated from my soul mate and Quinn would definatly have a hard time being away from daddy.

So what were our other options... Well, we can't buy a place until this place sells. So do we move and temporarily rent?.... No way - we'd still be paying our full mortgage and utils for a vacant home in BC - can't afford any rent...


hmmm...... Well I didn't surprise mom the way I had wanted.... The only way we can do it would be to find somewhere to stay, virtually rent free, could be a few weeks, could be a few months.... So I called my mom.... and Bless her heart, she said yes. She's a little dumb-founded and shocked, but said yes none the less. THANK YOU MOM!! THANK YOU MOM!! THANK YOU MOM!! THANK YOU MOM!! THANK YOU MOM!! THANK YOU MOM!! THANK YOU MOM!!

Seriously, this is pretty much the most feasible way we can all be there before Christmas. So I've asked her to clear out her spare room the best she can and we'll come with a few suitcases of clothes and a few books and toys.

Now, it doesn't get any easier. What do we do with our stuff? Originally we thought we would move and put it into storage, but the Realtor and the Home Stager both suggested that a Furnished home shows much better than a vacant home. So perhaps we will just pack everything up, put the boxes in our storage room and keep the basic furniture etc out for showing.

Once the place sells, we will have a possession date - this gives us that amount of time to find and Buy a place in Calgary - fly out here and make the actual move.


Geez, could it get any more complicated????



K. I think those are all the thoughts I need to get out of my head for now. I feels SO good to poor it out!


In conclusion. We love and miss you all. We'll be home for Christmas. Please pray our place will SELL FAST and for close to the ASKING PRICE!


I don't have time to re-read this to make sure it makes sense, so hopefully it does.

Buttons and tears.

So last night Quinn wanted to wear his "Little old Man Jammies" (2 piece with button up shirt). He usually does the bottom buttom then gives up on the rest. Last night he spent a good 15+ minutes to do up all the buttons by himself. A few times he asked me to show him how, then to un-do it so he could do it.

Finally he got them all buttoned up and he was so proud of himself! He ran downstairs to tell Lawrence all about it. It made my eyes leak...



Where does the time go!?

Happy Birthday Melanie, You Rule!

Well, my birthday has come and gone in a flash.

I turned 34. Not too sure how I feel about that. It feels like just yesterday I celebrated my 26th birthday at More Honey where my Chosen Families social networks all came together as one.

I bought myself a cake, I got the lady to write "Happy Birthday Melanie, You Rule!" on it :) It was good, too much iceing though.

Friday I dropped Quinn off at Crissy's for the whole weekend. That night we went for beer & wings at Wings. Scott, Dee, Mike, Amber and Karen Allen joined us. Afterwards we headed home and Alex joined us. Good times! We had lots of fun. Everyone slept over. We had a nice visit on saturday. Mike & Amber headed home, and just before dinner Karen had to head back to Vancouver. We went for dinner then a walk at Mill Lake then sat up visiting all night. It was really nice.

Sunday everyone headed home and we slept ALL DAY, finally picking up Quinn at 6. I think the best part of the weekend (other than good company), was just being able to relax and not be on 'Parent Mode'...

We're pretty beat today, and honestly not feeling very well (LOL, I'm not 26 anymore!).

No one mentioned to my face what a shitty day Sept. 11 was for a birthday, first year it went pretty much un noticed.



Not much to report. It's been 30 degrees everyday. Hot during the day, cools off at night. Quinn's loving pre-school, though after his first full week has caught a cold ... the first of many I imagine.

Im still totally digging my 4 hour shift, but I haven't seen a small paycheck yet - it will be tough. We really has to get off our butts and sell the mini van! Get that debt off our sholders and buy a futz-futz car instead. Anyone want a mini-van?!



Love to you all. Thanks for all the b-day calls, e-mails, messages!


xoxo

Melanie

New shift... 9am - 1pm

Thank Heavens, my crappy afternoon/evening shift is almost over!

Starting monday, I should be working 9am - 1pm and Quinn will start his preschool.

I have been run ragged - you can see it in my eyes and the bags under them... This summer has been so off. I am truly greatful for being able to spend most of the day with Quinn, but then working a full shift and not seeing Lawrence sucked... a lot!




Not sure I could ever do this again. :( I just want to be with my family!

Not much going on.

I don't have much to update... Quinn's doing very well Potty Learning. Other han really quick trips out, we still haven't tried outside the house in underwear. We'll start that next week when he starts Pre-school!

I really want to start doing Yoga again. I just haven't given myself the time. Perhaps in September when my shift chances. I would like to try it with Quinn.

In September my hours are cut in half and I will only be working part time. I sure hope we can pull this off financially!

We are going to sell the van. It will hopefully be listed by this friday. We had an inspection report done and it passed with flying colors. It will be nice to have that debt off our shoulders. Once it sells we will run out and try to find a $2000 car as our 2nd car.

That's all I have to report for now!

xoxox I miss and love you guys very much!

Potty Learning!!

So here we are - 6 days in a row - in undies all day/evening, pull ups for Nap/bedtime and a clean dry bum!

This is so exciting! Quinn is FINALLY using the potty on his own! We are so proud of him!

I will give it a few weeks, then we'll have to try leaving the house in undies and useing the public toilet! (EW!) This is going to be a tough one!

It will be nice to have that extra $$ was save not buying pull ups!

Swimming hole, Jet Fighters, and Date night!

Last week was a busy week - in the yay we're having fun busy kind of way!

Quinn and I went to Aldergrove Lake, a small man-made filtered 'lake' (more like a huge outdoor swimming pool) surrounded by beach in the middle of trees. Very nice setting!

A million kids though - this isn't a place you would go if you were kidless! So, a million kids, and a swimming hole - means a million X the Pee!! EEEWWWWWW.

It was 30 degrees, it was hard enough to let Quinn in the water, but it was so hot and Quinn wanted me to swim with him... So I let go of the reality of yuck and enjoyed the moment of summer fun with Quinn. We had a blast. Swam for about an hour or so, then he happily played in the sand. I was really wishing Ursula & the kids were by my side. :(

The Abbotsford airshow was this past weekend. The whole week prior we had Jet Fighters sonic booming over our heads. I thought it was really cool, but the novelty started wearing thin, especially when they were flying so low over our HOUSE! It was so loud. As cool as it was, it hurt Quinn's ears. He was scared, but not.

We filled his little pool in the backyard. It didn't warm up as much as I thought it would, but he still had fun. So much in fact that he decided to do the full Monty.


Our babysitter went home to Denmark so we haven't really gotten out so I found a new babysitter. A mature lady, just moved here from Edmonton. Quinn is quite fond of her. So Lair and I went to Restaurant 62, one of Abbotsfords few Finer dining establishments.

It was nice. A little 'unpolished' when you compare it to a few high end eateries in Calgary (and compare it to Hell's Kitchen! LOL)... However, the food was great. We got a free Appatiser (Lobster Bisque Soup) because they ran out of Lemons for my long island ice tea. I had a 14oz Rib Eye and Lawrence had a rack of Lamb... <-- WHAT Lawrence ate meat? That's right my friends, he fell off the vegetable wagon ;)

I will go back, but only because we try a sampler appy dish, and their short rib melted in our mouths - I gotta get me some more of those!

After our dinner we headed off to see the Dark Knight. Loved it!


So that's about it from our neck of the woods.


I have two summer wishes, 1) to drink beer on a patio with my friends, 2) to play in Reily Park wading pool with Quinn....



Sigh... :(

Quiet time... too good to be true.

Quinn has been having a hard time getting in his afternoon naps because we need to be up and out the door during his regular nap time... So instead, he has 1 hour of "Quiet Time", which usually consists of me going upstair 4+ times in 1 hour telling him it's QUIET time, not run all over the upper floor time....


Today however, I only had to go up there twice. I was so pleased. I figured he was either sleeping, or playing quietly in his bed. I was prepared to give him an extra special nummy snack. I approached his door, ready to enter beeming with love & adoration for him being such a good boy.... I open the door and.... No Quinn. Huh?

So I peep into our room thinking he tucked himself into mommy & daddy's bed to nap..... No Quinn. I walk into the bathroom.... no Quinn. I hear something. It's coming from the spare room. The spare room which he never goes into. The spare room that I keep the door closed all the time.......

I open the door.... He looks up and smiles and waves "Hi Mom" he says as he is sitting on the bed covered in ripped Christmas wrapping paper surrounded by all his no-longer pre-wrapped Christmas gifts from Nan....(which were in a tied black garbage bag). I had to contain myself as this was amusing and quite cute, but I was quite mad.

After a stern talking to, I made him sit in his room for another 15 minutes... I don't think he knows what he did was wrong... I hope he doesn't do it again. Now I have to re-wrap all these gifts!

Agra-Fair

It's "agra-fair' time in Abbotsford. Pretty much a a mini stampede but the focus is mainly on "Agra" stuff, antique & modern tractors, 4H clubs critters, farming, + expensive rides, games, food and drinks.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. We went at 11am, hoping to beat the crowds, and to go to the rides before it was overtaken by teenagers... omg, did I just say that?!? Once there, we decided it wasn't worth the price for the rides, but there was a 'Kid-zone' full of Boingy Castles so we steared him that way and he had a blast. Man Boingy Castle have sure changed since I was a kid! They are so cool!

This fair has family potential, maybe when Quinn is a little older he/we would have enjoyed it more. But there were many firsts for him. We shared a Corn Dog, a Shaved Ice Cone and Cotton candy!



We saw all sorts of farm critters, including some rediculously cute miniature ponies, and some piggies.


In conclusion... Quinn had fun. :)

The briefest glimpse that left me happy.

I was napping on the couch with Quinn this morning. I was in a very light sleep when I had a dream. Now, I'm not saying it was a vision, or a visit, it was just one of the 2 second dreams.

I was standing in my living room, looking at the front door. The door opened, and it was Sean, in a very blue shirt with a very big smile on his face....

My thought was YAY SEAN! I woke with a jolt, eyes opened wide and a very happy feeling.

Like I said, I'm not saying this was anything overly Significant; I think my subconscious brain was just trying to cheer me up. Thinking of that smile... makes me smile.

Celebrating Life. mourning death and enjoying family and friends...

My quick trip to Calgary was exhausting to say the least! I was such a wreck here all by myself after I heard about Sean. I contained myself on the flight to Calgary, but the moment my suitcase came out, I lost it; luckily mom was right outside waiting for me... I just hugged her and cried. She said "there's a little boy in the car who wants to see his mommy"; I can't remember if I said it, or thought it, but my response was "I need MY mommy" and hugged her even harder and longer.

Friday night was the wedding rehersal. It was nice to see everybody and have a visit, except I felt so awful, still hurting about Sean; I didn't want to bring it up or talk because I didn't want to ruin such a happy occasion. It was hard to keep my composure, but managed. Quinn didn't do too well with the whole walk down the isle thing, it had me quite worried (and embarrassed).... :( We've been talking about this with him since Easter, and he's been super excited to be Brent's little helper, carrying the pillow with rings, but he just didn't want to cooperate with walking down the isle.

Saturday was long. Quinn got to get ready with the Groomsmen. They all looked super fantastic! They rode in a Limo Bus to Heritage Park and Quinn got to go too! We met them there and they did photos. It was tiring trying to keep Q happy, and the few pics he was in, he wouldn't cooperate... again :( and embarrassing. But hey, what can you do, he's 3!

He did the best he could do walking down the isle.... well, walked a bit, threw the pillow (thank God the real rings weren't on it) then ran the rest of the way! Lair had to chase him to the back where we tried to keep him settled to enjoy the ever so beautiful wedding. It was hard as he was tired, cranky, hungry, uncomfortable, etc...

When the ceremony was over, I 100% lost it! Lair had to tend to Quinn for pictures while I sat in the van on the phone with my mom... Sean's funeral was at 7pm. The ceremony was at 6:15 and I think ran a bit late. There was no way I could get there in time, as well I was too upset to drive. I asked mom to watch Quinn, Lair dropped him off while I cried on a few shoulders (thanks everybody!). I hadn't really spoken to anyone about how I felt about the situation with Sean as I was trying to stay focused on the wedding, so this was my release.

I got it under control in time for dinner and Lair made it back in time too! I calmed down and enjoyed a wonderful meal, basking in the love of Mr. & Mrs. Brent & Chrystal Boychuck. There was a touching slide show and the dance was a lot of fun.

Afterwards we ended up at a post wedding house party. Again, I lost it, taking about an hour (?) to talk/cry/rant/mourne... then I just kind of went numb...

Sunday we were both really hung over. Mom was nice enough to watch Q till the mid afternoon. We then headed over to Karen & Steves for a BBQ. So now am I exhausted from the wedding and dealing with Quinn, all the days of crying, and I'm hung over and sleep deprived... Sorry y'all; You know I love you guys but I just didn't think I could take it anymore - I just needed SLEEP!

Monday morning, James, Christy, Alex and us went for Breakfast. That was awesome! Then we headed off on our long drive home. Quinn was a very good boy. We left Downtown Calgary at 10:00am, stopped on the side of the highway about 40 minutes later to change Q's bum(!), then pushed through to Golden, stopped for some ice cream and a stretch, Q slept past Revelstoke and woke up just in time to stop at the Enchanted Forrest :) It was a nice hour break. Q's energy was super high and drained us even more, but he had fun. Stopped in Salmon Arm for Lunch/dinner and was home by 9pm.

What a trip. I am still lost and confused over Sean, but there is nothing I can do at this point so I will reflect on all that was good and be thankful we have a new Guardian Angel to watch over us and for me to Pray to.

I am thankful for my friends and family. I hope everyone knows how much I really love and appreciate everybody.

R.I.P. my dear friend Sean...

Well, the day just didn't start the way I ever imagined it could.

I woke up, went onto Facebook, and BOOM, my life changed. Sean Lineham has passed away... All I know at this point is, I've been told he took his life last night.

WTF? How can it be? Is it true? He just happily celibrated his 30th birthday.... and now he's dead? Did he seriously kill himself? Or maybe was there a traggic accident? I am just at a loss as to how I feel...

His Blog and such shows no signs of anything to come as such.

I am extreamly sad and angry because I go to Calgary tomorrow.... TOMORROW!

We are supposed to get together for coffee and and a chat and hug. If it was suicide, what if he gathered with friends and felt alive again? It may have been stopped....

BUT, what if it were an accident? Bad drugs? Drunk and fell? Who knows, maybe it was an anyorism or heart attack!? I need answers. I hope we get some answers soon; I really feel lost not knowing the whole storey.

I'm coming to Calgary to celebrate a wedding... last thing I expected was to say goodbye to a friend. If there is a funeral, I hope I can attend.

R.I.P. Sean. I know You know you are one of my favorite People. I guess now you are one of my families gaurdian Angels.

Namaste. :(

Life without Quinn and Lawrence

... Thursday morning at 7:30am I waved goodbye to Lair & Quinn who were driving to Calgary for their summer holiday... I wept off and on for awhile.... :( When I got my new job in May, I told them of our July vacation plans and they told me they couldn't hire me if I planned to take the 12 days I asked for; we compromised at 5 days... So I am here alone and the boys are in Alberta.

It's pretty quiet here! I can't believe I lived alone for 8 years! How did I do it!

I haven't done much of anything other than relax and watch movies. Guess I should actually clean up the house tomorrow. Wednesday I will pack and thursday I fly to Calgary. I can't wait to see Quinn! the longest we've been apart was 4 nights/5 days. This trip will be 7 nights/8 days!! In fact, I've never been away from Lawrence this long either! I've talked to Quinn every night. I can't wait to cuddle and hold him and kiss and cuddle Lawrence! But I must admit, I'm sure enjoying sleeping in our bed alone - star fish to every corner! LOL

Sunday was our six year wedding anniversary <3 It was sad being a part for it, but we did talk on the phone.

Calgary will be busy with Brent & Chrystals wedding; before I know it we will be driving home. Wish I could visit longer. Oh well, nothing I can do about it but the make the best of the time I have when I'm there!

Harrison Lake Day Trip

On saturday we packed up the van and headed to Harrison Lake, about 45 minutes from home. we lucked out and got a great parking spot. We found a spot on the grass, beside the sand beach so we could relax while Quinn played. Quinn put on his water wings and we ventured into the water. It was fantastic. Had a great time. Unfortunately, about an hour later, Quinn started shivering, so it was time to get out and warm him up! Next time we will bring the little wet suit Benny gave him, then he should be able to stay in a little longer :)

We forgot our camera so no photos, however, it was such a beautiful 'family day' it will forever be one of our memories :)

Update? Yikes! MAY & JUNE

Sorry guys, I've been procrastinating, summer is here, honestly I haven't been on the computer that much!


So a recap, MAY: I finished working for Cellcom. In doing so I also said goodbye to my Cell phone contract and haven't resigned. I feel naked and a little lost sometimes without a cell, but really, it's getting easier!

Our trip to Alberta was great. We did a lot of driving but it was worth it. Saw lots of family and friends. We had a Beer & Wing gathering with over 25 Stellar peeps! A fantastic group came out to say hello. Lair was actually in town on business so many of his days were spent at a trade show. We made it to Medicine Hat, Calgary, Red Deer and the Farm (one of my most favorite spots in the world)!

May 24th - the Parenteau invasion – Sky diving! Ursula cooked up a plan to surprise Albert. They arrived at our home and didn't even get their shoes off when we left to an unknown destination - 10 minutes from our house is the Vancouver Skydiving Ranch! Clayton, a good friend of theirs came to jump too! Albert had no idea until we pulled into the parking lot and Ursula told him he was jumping too! They both had an awesome time and loved it. Clayton said he will most likely join me again for my birthday jump in September (this time I will get the professional Video!). [if you wish to donate $$ for this, please feel free to send it my way! ha ha ha]. Speaking of video, this is one I took with my camera once the chute was open. The spins you see are a CRAZY ride, we're talking 360's, whipping around, awesome fun!

No sooner did we say goodbye to the Parenteaus, we were saying Hello to James and Christy who came to Vancouver for the weekend. We had an afternoon at the beach!

Scott and Quinn dug a tunnel big enough for Quinn's truck to go through! Fun times were had by all.

We interrupt this Blog entry with a song...



JUNE: I started my new job at VersaCold. I'm totally digging the 10 minute drive! Training has been mentally exhausting but I think I am doing ok. I'm in the shipping office but am being cross trained on most positions as come september I will be a part-time floater. For June I trained full time hours 8-4:30.

We've had some fun weekends. We ran into a HUGE random street party in Burnaby so people watched and hung out for the afternoon. We went to a miniature railway and rode a little train.

For FATHERS DAY we went to the Zoo.












TIRED BOY BELOW!











On June 20th, me, Dee, Chrystal and Nicole packed up the van and headed off to the Shuswap for Chrystal's house boating stagette extravaganza - Missy Mayhem! 16 beautiful girls and a non-stop party! WOO-HOO! It was ridiculous fun!




June 26 was QUINN's THIRD BIRTHDAY!

3.... can you believe it?

We celebrated by going to Playland, a waterpark, and had a BBQ.

We interrupt this Blog entry with another song...

JULY: Quinn and I went to the Abbotsford Canada Day Parade. It was 'Cute', but absolutely no comparison to the Stampede Parade! We had a heat wave for a few days. It was so hot in the house that we had a picnic in the basement and slept there too!

I started my new shift this week. Until it gets busier, I will work 4pm - 8 pm. This is awesome! I can spend all day with Quinn, go to work, and come home in time to tuck him in. I wish this could be my permanent shift! However, when it gets busy, I will work 4pm till Midnight (july & aug only)! It will be hard on me as Quinn is up at 7am, so regardless what time I get home and sleep, I will have to be up early! So I plan to nap when he naps in the afternoon. Come Sept, I will work 9am-1pm and Quinn will be in Montessori pre-school during this time :)

We're trying to Potty Train - I can't believe he's 3 and not potty trained! He was going on the potty at Crissy's (the girl who watched him full time when I was working at Cellcom), but he refuses to go on the potty at home. So we are back to square one.









So that's about it for now!

Perhaps instead of a weekly update, a monthly update would be more suitable!


Love to you all, we love and miss you all.
