A Walk Down MayneStreet: March 2012

A Walk Down MayneStreet. Leaps, No Water, and Outer Space. The shortest month of the year always seems to be so full of stuff to do! Thank goodness for the extra day this year! So, this was the text I got from Paul, reminding me that it was the 29. (I wonder if he had forgot and then when he was at work he was reminded and then thought he should text me to make sure I remembered). Regardless, it was appreciated. Even though I was up! Why wouldn't we have hot water? So, I learned about the Transit of Venu...

A Walk Down MayneStreet. Denver Bound: Murray Family Reunion. I got home from YW camp on Saturday afternoon. The house was quiet and empty, as Paul was at work and the girls were in Stirling. I was exhausted. I did laundry and repacked our bags as we were going to leave for Stirling as soon as I was able. We didn't leave until about noon on Sunday! I was excited to see the girls, as I hadn't seen them in such a long time! But we were there! Looking up at the house. A hammock. So fun. Popsicles on the deck.

A Walk Down MayneStreet. And then there were four. Actually, that makes it sound as though it was an all-of-a-sudden thing, and we all know that pregnancy is definitely not that. And so now you may wonder, how will she refer to the children now? Well, old habits die hard, so I will stick with Oldest, Middle and Youngest.#4 will either be Baby or Boy. His story later. Babies are tricky. And getting stuff done with one is even trickier. But, it will be told. Eventually. Welcome to MayneStreet, Boy!

A Walk Down MayneStreet. Crying In the Rain. Today we woke up to rain. I love that sound. The rain on the roof. Even though that meant that the "Terry Fox Run" would have to be held inside today at school. But, that would be okay. We walked to school in the rain and our raincoats, pants and boots. And had fun, even though we were in a rush to get to school on time. On the way home though, Boy and I had nothing but time. He splashed and splashed and laughed and smiled and shrieked. The type of mud puddle ...

A Walk Down MayneStreet. Well, this would definitely be out of my comfort zone. When we first moved to Edmonton I read in the Edmonton Examiner about nude swimming times at a local public pool. I was a bit surprised, but since I knew about naked yoga in Vancouver, I wasn't really shocked. However, this ad in the classifieds did surprise me. I've never even thought about 'that' being here. I thought it was strictly an European thing. (I know, I know). Paul suggested it could be our new hobby. A kid on her...

A Walk Down MayneStreet. Letting Go and Holding On. My second favourite time of the day is when I get to walk my girls to school. And now that I don't get to do it very often, it seems like I am missing out on a special time of the day that I won't have for too much longer. I feel a tad dramatic right now. Anyway. I was reading this. Blog post a while ago from daringyoungmom.com. Anyway, back to my story. Oldest dropped my hand. But, remembering how I felt (about 25 years ago), I reassured her it was oka...

A Walk Down MayneStreet. We are in Idaho Falls on Valentine's Day. I don't like Valentine's Day much, even though I have a sweetheart. We probably will never be found in a fancy restaurant on Valentine's Day. But we will be found super late at night traipsing around Idaho Falls reading the historic plaques and meeting Emma the dog on a walk with her person. At least on Valentine's Day 2014! A Wedding and an Anniversary. It's been 15 years. Can you believe it? I can't be that old, can I? This is not us fi...

A Walk Down MayneStreet. A Wedding, a Campout and Insufficient Memory. I feel so blessed to have a family who wants to hang out with each other. And so, for the second year in a row, we had the GFC, or the Gibbs Family Camp. This year was not without some hiccups, though! My parents had the chili for the first night's supper. Dad was working late and so Mom sent the chili with my grandpa. Which makes perfect sense except Grandpa's truck broke down! Grandpa and Virginia were married on the beach by the bi...

A Walk Down MayneStreet. And then she was too grown up for her mother's liking. She has an email address. Be still my heart. I had to send her an email. Yes, I did. I just don't want to know what is next. At 04:30 Oldest came into our room and kept saying, "I can't sleep." I asked if she needed to cuddle for a bit. She was happy to oblige! So after listening to this fantastic tale, I go downstairs to keep working on breakfast and lunch. It is quiet. The other two are still asleep. It is an un...Our firep...
