Casey Marie Yofonoff

And totally worth the wait! She arrived at 0512 on March 15, 2007. Weighing in at 9 lb 2 oz, by Caesarean section, helped along by Dr Dobrescu and all the maternity staff at Kootenay Lake Hospital.

And now for the week AFTER she is due

Some expectant guests!

And yet a few more guests

More guests

Some of our guests

Margaritas were the order of the day - we sure are starting to enjoy those!

Here's the birthday boy with his pinata

made especially for him by his lovely daughter, Christa with help from Cassie

Jimmy's birthday bash

Here's the table all set for the big celebration

I did mention that we had snow, right?

Aaron and Leslie and Jeff

Here's Leslie with her crew.

Saying good-bye to Leslie

Leslie stayed with us for her two short weeks and helped with the shovelling and then went back to North Vancouver to finish her Xray course.

Getting ready for the BLAHS

Here is the original sign for the annual open house that we host in the Xray Department. This open house originated 20 years ago. At that time most departments hosted an open house around Christmas time. With so many parties, the Xray department decided to move their celebration to February when everyone is feeling blah. Marg is holding the sign that she made way back then. Each year we just cover the date with the new one. And we will have the usual good treats made by all of us fabulous cooks.

Adele on her birthday

As you can tell, she is a growing girl. She hopes that she doesn't have to wait too much longer. And that beer in the background belongs to the lovely lady doing pots!

Nelson version of a knight in shining armor with his trusty steed!

Here's our neighbor using the snowblower to move back the banks of snow because they are getting to be too high to throw the snow over when shovelling.

And we thought that we had lots of snow last week!

I posted snow photos last week so that you would all feel sorry for me and my shovelling muscles but now look at this!

Here's our belaboured hedge!

And here's the other side of the driveway

Look at all that snow!

Gramps takes a beating - and loves every minute!

And then there's our gang

I think Brent might just be worried here!

the whole family

What a bunch of lovely smiles! Too bad Dave was feeling poorly and was unable to join us.

Some lovely ladies came to visit

And share our treats

And then there was food

We seemed to have enough appies to feed millions but they all disappeared, and everyone still filled up on turkey later

Kim & I

Kim & I certainly benefitted from Christa's labours
