Goodbye Home #2..

So this is it.. We are out tomorrow noon! Then the renters will be moving in, and we will be official rural  folk! It's still bittersweet, as we put a lot of heart (and sweat) into this place - plus the memories! Amazing how fast four years goes by.. I decided I'd better just capture a few more pics of the place before it's not really ours anymore..! 

I'll be sure to post some of our acreage when we get Internet out there!

Thanksgiving with the Tarves'!

I thought I should get these photos all on here before we move, (yes, we are moving - in 3 days!! More on that later..) because who knows what kind of internet we'll have in the country!

 This past weekend the Tarves clan all got together to celebrate Jim and Alice Anne's 40th anniversary!

We managed to squeeze in time for a family photo, turkey dinner, a walk thru the woods, a fire, and a

surprise tea! It was a terrific weekend except for the few unfortunate members in our bunch, 

that had the stomach flu...!

Julie, notice that we managed to get a quick family photo - which one would you like a copy of?!

The handsome couple at 40yrs!! ..and the yummy spread the girls put on for us! (Thanks Verena, Marisa and Aimee!)

Gorgeous fall color on the way home..

Love Birds!

We seemed to have the cold east wind against us - was brrr chilly out, but we attempted some photos.. The kids were not enthused so we gave up and just took pictures of the young pair in love.:)

September...

Hi! It's been a while! Have you missed us!? :)  Here is just a glimpse of SOME of what we've been up to...

These cloud formations get my heart pumping!

September, Dylan started Gr.2 and Emarie - kindergarten. All seems to be going great on that front! 

We also had some unexpected visitors! Cheryl and Tricia - which livened things up here!:0) 

It was heaps of fun!

Got together with the north cousins at G&G's.

We had terrific fun with G&G Tarves - except we really made them work..! They popped in to visit before heading east and they helped us start packing for our move.

Jude was going to join Grandma and I for some yoga, but it got boring quick!;0)

A few trips out to the field are a must! This particular time Zoey and Ash joined us!

And of course it's typical of our country to have the hottest weather in Sept! So, since our pool was put away, we used these buckets for a makeshift pool so we could cool off!:P
