Ridge Report....

Well, it has been a quick couple of weeks....Tanya and the kids will be coming home on Saturday from a 2 week vacation in Vernon....the first couple of days were nice and quite for me but that quickly changed to extreme quiteness....I am anxiously waiting for their return!!

It has been a busy couple of weeks....carpeting the stairs was the big project....after Olivia's accident it was necessary to make some changes....It looks much better now.

The other exciting news from our little community is the announcement of a 99 room hotel, conevntion centre and restaurant!! There hasn't been an investment/construction of this nature in over 20 years! They started logging the trees to clear the lot earlier this week...not sure when construction will start but it is an exciting time in town!

I hope all is well with everyone. God Bless!

Update from the Ridge!!!

Greetings all....well, I guess the biggest news to come from this way, for those of you who haven't heard, is that Olivia had to have her four front teeth pulled (across the top!!)...she was climbing the stairs from our bedroom to the living room and somehow lost her balance (or fell) face first into teh edge of the step....now, we have laminant flooring on our stairs with a metal bar covering the edge....somehow she managed not to cut her lip or gums but drove her front teeth back towards her throat!! The most interesting thing was that only one of them was loose and the others were still solid as a rock! Thankfully she had all her baby teeth still....Dentist took one look at her and said "pull em"!!

Crazy things is not two days after Olivia's incident, we had some friends over and they have a little girl the same age as Austin...anyway, she was heading down the stairs and somehow lost her balance and went end over end down the stairs...she put her teeth through her bottom lip...there was blood everywhere! So...we haven't had a whole lot of luck with our stairs in the past few days!! Kids are so resilient though...other than the increase in wind when she talks, Olivia is doing fine!!
