Family Fun

I'm liking my hair cut much better, now that the initial shock has worn off! In fact, I think it's almost quite cute :) Now I just have to find a dollar store to upgrade my collection of little barretts...

The past few days have been great fun! On Thursday morning, despite the winter weather, Mom, Dad and I went up to Edmonton to visit with Oma and some of my aunts & uncles. It was a great visit! I love seeing Oma, and I know she loves having visitors, too. We had some good giggles together. However, during our sleep-over "party" in her little apartment, I was kept awake for most of the night by Dad's snoring... so a little nap in the van the next morning was much needed!

We had a good visit with a few aunts & uncles and a cousin, as well as a visit with Oma & Opa's old neighbors, who still live in the house that they built over 50 years ago. They had some hilarious stories about growing up next door to Dad's family!

After we arrived home, I got together with a few friends at a little coffee shop - my friend was playing with his jazz combo. There was a crazy collision of worlds as I saw a few different people that I haven't seen since high school, and also met a few new people. And what a privilege it is to be able to go out and hear some really quality jazz, surrounded by good coffee and good friends!
