Coolest experiment EVER!!!!!

Scott-Isaac.... That is the coolest science experiment I have ever seen. Great Job!!!!

Uncle Dan

Saint Marys Grade 5&6 Science Fair

The kid with the chemistry set, the disection kit, and a telescope, microscope, and a subscription to home science tools chooses Duct Tape as the focus of his experiment...... Go figure! No prize this time, but it was tons of fun to just "hang around".

Invitation

I wouldn't want to be the last to invite you over for dinner. Mom and Dad, Vicky and I would be honored if you would come over to our apartment for dinner. Vicky is a fantastic cook, I guarantee she won't disappoint. The invitation is open for at least the next four months (lots of time to get a flight). Hope to see you soon.

HI DAN

Hi Dan I sure enjoyed all your posts. It looks like a great adventure... I was really blown away by the underwater photography then I realized it was from Google and not you, for a while there I was incredibly impressed with your skills as a photographer. Still you got some amazing shots. We can’t wait to see you and Vicky this summer (will we see you both?), Aunika has grown so much and you wouldn't believe how she can talk and memorize; she's also a great little pretender, she re-enacts everything she experiences. Baby-in-Belly is large and uncomfortable. The radiologist wanted to know is I was a diabetic. (Nope-it’s just the father is a giant) I just need to make it to 37weeks and I'm good... anyway you take care... tell Vicky I CAN'T WAIT to see her again.
Love you Lots.
Cheers
Heidi

Daddy/Papa surprise Mom/Nana

Guess who showed in Grande Prairie this week. DAD!!! He flew out and surprised ME! I had no clue he was coming at all.

It was Sooooooo good to see him. I am thrilled and now I know he really did miss me....every time he told me he missed me I told him he did not miss me enough yet....cause if he did he would come out and be with me.....HERE HE IS!!!

I will take some pictures, and post them a bit later this week after we say hello to one and all.

Awww it sure is nice to be this loved and care for!!!

Heidi is holding her own...baby is still safe...she is now at 33 weeks...baby is about 6lb, should be 4lb...so it is going to be a big girl....need to get at least 4 more weeks in.

Aunika is doing so well....even though she has the nutrapenia..she remains in good health...we thank the Lord every day for this!

Dassi is waiting for an appointment at the Glen-Rose...she is having a lot of sensory issues. She too is doing much better...we keep her ever in our prayers. Nana see lots of improvement in her development!

Caleb received an award from school for good behavior. He is a wonderful reader and very smart. He has tons of fun at school with his friends. He is also a great singer, like to sing a song called a "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." Has a amazing collection of Pokemon and has collect all the Olympic coins...to date!

Skee is having a good school year also....we (papa & I) went to his science fair yesterday. He was duct taped to the wall.....to show how much tape it took per weight...or something like that....anyway it was pretty cool to see him taped to the gym wall. He is doing amazing in his music...plays in the school band. All the kiddies are on March break this upp-coming week.

I will post later in the week with some family pics of us...we are invited to Joe tomorrow for supper....maybe we will get invited day by day to all our childrens home....now that would be something to show them back home!!!

Welcome Home Daniel and Vicky

Hi Daniel and Vicky

I'm trying my hand at Blogging so I can better respond to all my wonderful families diaries that are Blogged. I so enjoy the pictures from you and Vicky as well as the pics that Mommy posts. I have your pictures pinned up in the bedroom and on the fridge. I'm like you Dan, I'd like to see Etta and Hooty do more Blogging and pics on their experiences. So I'll give my update.

1. This makes 12 weeks / 3 months living aaallllll alonnneeee with nooo wiffffeeeee. Poor me. Don't LOL.
2. I was in Quebec City for the week of February 7-12 attending the World Road Congress. There was a lot of countries represented at the congress. Had the opportunity to walk around the old city and enjoy the sites. Some good and some not so good. Bought Mommy a new hat for Lover Day
3. So now, I'm just working day to day at the office, getting ready for the construction training season

I'm now planning to take a big piece of the summer off, probably June, July and August probably to mid September. Planning on getting a new dog, maybe a golden doodle or a labra doodle ... something Mommy can live with. Might even buy a new truck this spring.

I've haven't any pics so this is all for now. May my God bless you all.

My dear world romping Bro. WOW. I am so excited for you, and a little (BIG TIME) jelouse! The photos were amazing, much better then National Geographic, 'cause you and Vic are in them. How was the heat? And the medical treatment? Too bad you didn't get a witch doctor with some sweet herbs! I can't wait to see you in the summer (I thought you wern't comming home) Dassi is a wild little wirlwind with high highs and low lows. She has a crazy good memory (like her brother) and is so musical! Skookum will be 11 this summer (I'm so old!) he is the youngest member of ORFF (the school percussion band) and will be competing this spring to defend their 3yr first place honner in the Jr.high band devision of the Peace Country musical festival!!!!! I will post pics!

I love you soooo much, and miss you like crazy. xoxoxoxo yer sissy Roxi

Home

Vicky and I are home; safe, sound, and exhausted. We did make our connecting flight (barely). We'll grab about 7 hours before we need to get up and tackle the new work day... not too bad really.

Good night

Stuck in Dubai

I am presently standing at a computer terminal that is offered free to those in the Dubai airport. This is the only airport in the world that I know of that does this. Our airline from Dubai to Egypt, and Egypt to Dubai was Air Emirates. Last year they won an award for the best food served on an airline in the world... and for good reason, the chicken in light mustard sauce with roasted vegetables was the tenderest most succulent peice of chicken I can remember having. The Lamb Kofta I had with them on the way to Egypt was also delscious... From Dubai to China we fly China Southern. They serve B grade hotdogs for EVERY meal uuggghhh. They are the worst airline I have ever flown. Our plane here has been delayed for 2 hours... Unfortunately, we have only a 2 hour layover in Goungzhou before our flight leaves for Dalian. Hopefully that flight is late as well, or Vicky and I might end up late for work :(

Vicky is sleeping in a recliner in the quiet area of the airport right now.

Dassah, keep up the piano practice, Uncle Dan looks foward to hearing you play this summer.

Aunica, congratulations on your new home, I do hope you love it.

Mom, I got you your blown glass perfume bottle (way back in Aswan actually, I hope you like it, it's hand made and one of a kind)

Joe, though I tried, I was unable to find you a pair of Egyptian cotten shorts. Though a few shop keepers claimed their stuff was 100% Egyptian cotton, it was indestinguishable from your run of the mill T-shirt at wal-mart. I was informed by our tour leader that finding Egyptian cotten in Egypt is almost impossible as it is extreamly expensive and is mostly bound for export. Maybe I can get you something from China... Sorry bro.

Girls, You are all looking great at your Pegan love dinner, I can't wait to see you all.

Isaac, Mark, Dad aand Kris, if there is anything you would like from China you should let me know ASAP.

I got a few small things from Egypt for the Neices and Nephews, but was really limited on luggage space this trip and didn't get you guys anything. Same goes for you girls (sisters, in-laws and out-laws and aunties), if you can think of anything that wouldn't take too much space, let me know. I'll do my best.


Love

Fun Photos for Papa & Daniel & Family too!
