Winter in Vancouver!

Winter in Vancouver!
Originally uploaded by the four mckays.

We've had such amazing weather this past month - first of all we had an inversion where the city was covered in fog for about one week, but up on the mountains it was sunny and hot!!! We went up skating a couple of times on Grouse Mountain, just to get out of the chilled air!!!! And then we got a big dump of snow for the end of Nov! So much fun - Tiegan especially has been discovering the joy of eating snow, and throwing snowballs!!!

And now it is Dec. 1st, I can't believe how quickly the time is flying by. We are still living at our friends Lorne and Tash's house, but other friends of ours are going on holiday for two weeks so on the 4th we'll move into their house to housesit. It's been great staying at the Taylors, but they have family members coming all month long and it is time we gave them their space back!!!

Hopefully before too long, we'll actually be moving back into our house. The drywallers are mudding and taping right now, and should be done in a few days. Then we have to paint, tile, finish up the floors again and convince the kitchen cabinet guys that they really need to install our cabinets by the 16th, and then we're set to move in! Still a few odds and ends that we'll need to do after we move in (you know, like basement stairs!!!!! and trims/baseboards/etc) but most of it will be done! Yaaaay!!!!

Okay, off to join Jamie in the other room to pick out paint colours - who knew there were so many options?! And who knew that picking out tiles could be sooooooooo painful. We're having the hardest time coming up with a decision!!!!!!!! More house photos to come soon!!!!!
