Snow in the Rockies

A photo taken from our balcony early last week after the first big snow fall in the mountains!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
We celebrated the day with a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixins at Shari's place. We devoured sweet potatoes, squash, parsnips, mashed potatoes, stuffing, fresh bread - all smothered in gravy! And not too forget yummy pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. Even Jenna and Bree enjoyed a puree version of turkey and squash! A big thanks to Shari and Brent for having us over for a fantastic Thanksgiving Day dinner!

Today we've been greeted with a blanket of fresh snow covering the city and it's still blowing and snowing like crazy! Highs today of minus 6 with a windchill of minus 14. I'm loving the early start to winter, but they call for highs of 19 on Saturday. Go figure. Gotta love this mountain weather!

Little Canaussie is doing well and getting bigger. Thanks very much for all your lovely wishes of congrats. Stay warm...

The view from our balcony at 7:30 this morning...it's still snowing.

Some exciting news...from us to you!

Our move to Canada has been a big change
New jobs, new car, new condo to arrange
Trips to the mountains and lots of snow
Camping and biking we did go.

Now - our greatest adventure is here before us
No foreign destination, no plane or train - not even a bus.

A beautiful gift of a small size
In April next year we’ll have a surprise
Perhaps a boy or maybe a girl
This bundle of joy will change our world

We are very excited to finally share with you
That a little ‘Canaussie’ chick or dude -
Will soon be with us and that’s great news
The Augustine clan will soon have someone new.
