We've come to a family decision that Emma is to be Dad's little helper, and Ashley is to be Mom's little helper. Emma loves to help me shovel snow, mow the lawn, wash the car, or take the recycling away, but at the same time she seldom has room in her life for helping Mom with the dishes or the laundry. That's where Ashley steps in. Ashley loves to tidy up and organize and she also loves to be right beside Mom at all times. She's not quite 2 years old, but she already knows what buttons to push on the washing machine and the dishwasher, and she's been called the next "Tony Danza" of vacuuming (See clip #1 or #2). Now live with that song in your head all day.
Emma and I were on an recycling depot/grocery store/car wash trip just yesterday when we started talking about how she's liking life out here in Airdrie and if she's making new friends. She's very happy with the amount of new friends she's made in her CTR 5 class as well as at Pre-School, but she does admit that she misses some of her old friends from Calgary. She misses her old Sunbeams class and the kids from her soccer team the most. We try and stay in touch and arrange play dates every once in while with some of her old friends, but that's getting to be pretty rare. Not long before we packed up and headed north, Emma attended her friends Birthday party at Chuck 'E' Cheese's and a Movie watching primary party at the Palmer's as evidenced by the following two photographs.
Ashley had a lot of fun at Chuck 'E' Cheese's too.
We all had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends in the 3rd Ward, but none so many as Emma did. She's a pretty fun loving girl and sees no reasons to not become friends with everyone she meets, regardless of age. She still has some cousins in the 3rd ward, so we make it back there for big events, but the nature of both Tammy's and My callings in our Branch make it hard to visit other wards recreationally.
Like I said before though, she's quite happy with all the friends she's made out here in Airdrie so far, and I'm sure she'll continue to make great friends. In fact, she's been called the next "Tony Danza" of friend making (no clip available).

P.S. We seem to be getting wireless internet again, so here's hoping we can get some posts made over the next little while. We're in danger of reporting news that is a year old if we don't get things moving pretty soon here.
You know what else is a year old? My patience with your blogging habits. It's about time good sir, it's about time.
I think Dave W sabotaged your wireless internet to keep you down so he could beat you in a head-to-head blog-posting battle.
Now that he has amassed an empire of daily blog postings, he has seen fit to release his grip on your wireless connectivity.
