Visiting the Calgary Tower!

On the glass floor looking around.

Wonder what she thought about all of that!

Nannie and the boys!

I came out to Calgary because the word on my Dad was not good. I had to take all three of the kids because it happened to be at the same time Chris was VERY busy at work. So off we went. Thankfully, Westjet had some seat sales helping to make this trip possible! My Dad had a stroke they think, but he is doing much better. He still struggles with some ongoing health issues but I am happy to say that I had quite a few good visits with him. Thanks for all the prayers!

I decided to take the kids and Nannie to the Calgary Tower. Everyone had a great time. I think my Mom said it had been 20 years since she had been up to the tower. We also ate at the restaurant and she had said it had been a long, long, long, time since she had eaten out somewhere. She enjoyed the meal and the time with the kids. Since we moved so far away...anytime with the kids is special.

We are Back!

We just arrived back yesterday from Penticton. The weather was awesome! It was so great to spend time with friends, watch the kids play, and enjoy the sun. I was a little sad leaving. Hopefully, I will get to come again another summer. I will miss it!

The kids added some new toys to the must have list this year. One of them, thanks to the Dureski's were water guns! The kids loved having water fights. The other toy was a surf board. All the kids eventually had one and they had a great time using them.

We wondered what it would be like to bring Sarah along. She was wonderful! She ate well, slept well and even started putting herself to sleep. She was a very good baby!

About the move, the movers and packers are booked. My van leaves tomorrow to go out East on a train. We should get the van back to us in about two weeks. Feels like it has been a long time coming and now it is happening so fast! I just want to thank everyone for all their kind words and well wishes. It has meant a lot to me! Thank You!
