Sawatzky Invasion of the Schulz's

We just got back from a visit to BC to see Nadia's Opa & Oma. She didn't change time so we were up at about 5am BC time every morning. And the only other one up at that time of the day was the cat. Linnea was hours of fun. Nadia thought she was like the dog and tried to give her cat food on the floor. Linnea just looked at her like she was crazy - typical cat.

Although I was completely amazed by the tolerance level of the cat. Because even though her cat door is mere steps away, she still let Nadia pick her up and totally smother her. It was pretty cute. Nadia finally learned that kitties bite. She got numerous scratches and bites, which we were okay with because Nadia just laughed at the cat and thought she was funny.
The cat door was also loads of entertainment. Great Grandma gave her a few toys and Nadia loved to send them flying through the cat door onto the deck.
These are some photos of my parents 'new' house. It is about 25 years old, but they've done tons of renovating and I think it looks fabulous.

Opa and Oma ... taking a moment out to pose.
One morning I came downstairs to find this hilarious scene. Everyone watching Veggie Tales with Nadia. It was so cute. Oma even learned the theme song and sang along. Too bad my video didn't really catch her voice.
Outside in the middle of winter. It was balmy weather, above 0 - so one day Daddy and Nadia went out to play. No toque, how cool! And look how big that tree is!
Proof that the lower mainland actually got snow and survived.

Nadia enjoys running up and down the chip pile from the fallen tree. The stains and mud did actually come out of her pants. We'll bring outdoor clothes next time we come.
