"Rockin' around the Christmas tree"

This weekend, we had a wonderful dinner party with a group of friends here in Calgary - and then we spent Sunday driving three hours to Edmonton (Northern Alberta) to say good-bye to Thunder's birth mom, H, and her boyfriend (not T's birth father), D. It was a really amazing weekend because so many things are quickly coming to a close. Of course, we know that we'll see all of the people we said "good-bye" too when they visit or we visit...it's just that everything will change in the subtle way things do when they are not lived day to day. I do love Canadians because the overwhelming response has been "Great! Now we have a reason to go to California!" 

It is a solid -10 degrees F here today (-23 C). From all reports, it's 80F/ 26C in Southern California. I must admit that the change in weather is a driving positive force in our move. Having my 2 year old scream through a parking lot because he didn't want to cover his hand stamps with mittens will be something I will gladly leave in our past. 
 Our good "old" friends who also read the blog!! Hello, Sh & fam!!! You all look wonderful!
