REGINA HOME SHOW
These are some pictures of the kids at the Home & Garden Show in Regina that we attended this past weekend.




ANDREW & MOMMY AT THE AIR FORCE BASE
Andrew and I had some spare time this week alone so we decided to go park on the highway outside 15 Wing Moose Jaw and watch the airplanes (notice the plane behind Andrew).

THE TAYLOR'S NEW ABODE!

Front of the house


Back view of the house & deck

View of the backyard from the bottom of the deck. That's an alley between our fence & the back of the other houses. That's where garages are built & that's where garbage pickup is done. We don't have a garage yet, but we'll build one eventually.

View from inside the front door.

Living Room


Living Room looking into the kitchen. Everything is very open and there's vaulted ceilings over the living room & kitchen.


Not really part of the house, but I just wanted to boast about the dozen roses that my husband brought home for me!

Kitchen. Although you can't see it in this picture, there's a walk-in pantry closet to the left of the stove.

Other end of the kitchen. Door on the far left is the door to the deck out back. Double doors are the main floor laundry and the other door is a closet.

Hallway leading from kitchen & living room down to the bathroom (first door on left), Andrew's room (second door on left) and our room (second door on right). There is a linen closet on the right as well.

Upstairs Bathroom - I know, not very exciting, but hey, it's the biggest bathroom we've EVER had, so I'm thrilled with it!

Andrew's Room - Oy Vey!

Laura's Room is in the basement in the "concrete jungle". We've put 2 area rugs down on the floor so she doesn't have to walk on cold concrete. We've also bought carpet remnants for the rest of the basement temporarily until we finish it. I don't think Laura minds - she seems pretty happy to have her own space downstairs & her own bathroom!


Downstairs bathroom where Ashley has been exercising his "manly tasks" such as caulking the shower and removing the toilet to replace the wax seal.

So other than showing you the furnace room, the utility room & the family room because they're all just drywall & concrete right now, that's our new house! We're really happy with it & we're looking forward to finishing the things that need to be done to make it our own!

CELEBRATION ON ICE 2006!
Laura and I went to the Moose Jaw Civic Centre to see Celebration on Ice with Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, Brian Orser, Shae-Lynn Bourne, Ekaterina Gordeeva, and many others. We had such a fun time - here's a few of our pictures. They might be a bit blurry because taking pictures of figure skaters is like trying to hit a moving target!

THE FARM
This is the apartment that we stayed in for two months when we arrived in Moose Jaw. It was a very quiet, spacious place to be. The kids really enjoyed playing outside with the dog "Mercy" and all the cats!

Minden to Moose Jaw


The kids playing their Game Cube in the van. They've had a great time playing games & watching movies.

This was the highway between Hearst & Geraldton. It was pretty desolate, but absolutely beautiful with snow & ice covering all the trees.

This is the Terry Fox Monument in Thunder Bay.


Arriving in Manitoba!

Christmas Party
Last night was our Township Christmas Party. Ashley was presented with a special award & plaque from the Fire Department in honour of his time served.
Not all the firefighters were there, but this is a picture of 18 of the 25 firefighters plus the Council member who represents the Fire Department. These boys sure do clean up nice!
This is Ashley and "Bucky", the Fire Department Council representative.

Ashley and our Fire Chief, Doug, in a loving embrace!

Minden Santa Claus Parade
Each year for the past 4 years, our church has put a float in the Santa Claus parade. This year our theme was "Angels we Have Heard on High" and the float was decorated to look like clouds with the kids all dressed like angels sitting in the clouds. From the feedback we've had, it seems people were more impressed with the Hummer that was pulling the float than the actual float itself! It was a really fun time!

Halloween Fun!

The staff at the Municipal Office dressed up to take part in the Halloween festivities. Here's me at my desk.

The kids dressed up for Halloween. They went out with friends and had a great time!
