Hey family,

I added a picture of my room, I took a few but I can not figure out how to add more that one picture.

Anyway life in Calgary so far is great. My roommates are so nice. They have helped me to feel really welcome. I am completely unpacked now so that feels great.

The job scene here to dental hygienists is insane. It is every bit as good as I have been told. Institute starts next week which I am excited about and the activities this week (Welcome Week) have been really fun. Yesterday was rollerblading (my ankles hurt!) , and tonight is a corn roast, and tomorrow is an outdoor dance, I am excited about the outdoor dance that will be fun.

So that is it for now, keep me updated with family happenings,

Love

Julia

Hello Family,

I am excited and nervous about this Saturday, but mostly excited! I now have Skype (Alisa and Jason), and I will keep you all as up to date as possible with my life in Calgary. When I move out there I will have a new cell phone number so I will let you all know as soon as I have it.

Here is my address again (and the correct street name this time) my new phone number

12-4940 39th Ave SW
Calgary AB T3E 6M7
(403) 243-5085

Let keep each other up to date with this family blog. I wanna hear all about Poppy and the cute things she is up to and Ryan Lillie and Lauren and how brilliant they are, and Andrew and Matthew how much they are growing, and what everyone is up to.

I will miss you guys TONS but I will see most of you at Christmas!

Hey everyone, thanks for making it another great year in the Kawarthas! Alisa, Poppy and I had a great time visiting with all of you this summer.

This is a great shot of Nanny, as she looks on at everyone swimming

Here are a few pics of the shower.

I have added about 20 or so to Poppy’s flickr site, go have a look and leave us some comments.

One of Jason’s beautiful photos of Poppy was chosen as the Image of the Day on the website ParentDish yesterday.

Or should I say, Harry Popper.

If any of you crazy people want to buy the new Harry Potter book, feel free to use my Amazon.ca referral so I can get a couple bucks 🙂

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)

Lisa had an ultrasound on Monday and we found out that it is a girl. Here are scans of the 3 pictures they gave us:

“But they’re so ugly!”
“That’s how you know that they’re comfortable.”
