Happy 18th Desiree!

Happy Birthday Bonnie

Happy Birthday to my sister Bonnie. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone else not as lucky as her. Sorry no new pic today but this one's pretty cute.

It's fixed!

Our tv suddenly started looking funny last week. Don opened the back and cleaned it all out (very dusty) but that didn't fix it. We moved the old tv up from the basement and started considering our options - pay for the repair, buy a new tv or make do with the old one. We did some research and found out that it's a common problem with hdtv's like ours. Most people said it was about a $400 repair or you could buy the parts and do it yourself. This weekend Don and his Dad spent $16 on new converters. Yesterday we were a bit worried that it wouldn't work but today they have it up and running even better then it was before. Hmmm....we just saved about $380 thanks to their hard work. I think that they had fun too. Calum has spent the afternoon watching his cartoons. Don and I have been hoping to watch a movie but Calum's just too happy to have his tv working again.

Next week will be busy for us. We are hosting a research workshop at work so it will be a very busy week for me. Don's going to have to get Calum off to the Old DC in the mornings. Calum's not to pleased about leaving in the mornings. He would rather stay and watch cartoons some times.

Baby Beluga is not looking well this weekend. I'm off to change his water and hope for the best. His colour is off and he's burrowing into the bottom of his bowl. Maybe I'll give him a frozen pea to snack on. Hope you all had a restful weekend.
