Fun times in Calgary

Being in Calgary surrounded by family and friends has really helped
me with my Christmas/Winter blues. I was quite depressed in
December being home sick (mind you not at all missing the snow and cold!)

Lawrence flew out Thursday night and stayed at Kevin & Katies. On friday he was able to see a few friends during the day.

Quinn and I had a fairly uneventful trip out though I was getting a bit frazzeled by the time we hugged Lair hello.

Mom made a nice home cooked meal for us and we had James & Christy over. After dinner we bid farewell to Quinn and headed off to Steve & Karen's home in Cranston where almost everyone we invited was able to come!

Party party party party!!!! Woo-hoo!!! Quick phone call with Micheal!! Strongbow! Talks, laughs, cuddles, iChat, silly movies... sun coming up - me going down - Partied like a Rockstar - Slept like a tired mom! I slept till 2pm!!!! So nice not having to get up to entertain Quinn at 7am! The best sleep in a while knowing there was no little pitter patter coming to pull me out of bed!

We drove Heather home and went back to James & Christys, showered, relaxed - Steve & Karen met us and we walked to 17th and had a Greek dinner at Mannies - Back to James' to lay and watch Across the Universe on their wall - Midnight = Pumpkins.

Sunday = Tim Hortons - moms house - Quinn! Lair's parents & sister - my sister - nice visit. After dinner Steve & Karen came to see Quinn. We left ~8:30, slept on the plane home by 11:30pm.

We had monday OFF. All we did was rest, relax, and lucky Quinn had cartoons all day!




Quinn had an eventful weekend too! He was excited for the airplane ride, he travels very well! He is a pro afterall! He loved sleeping in his little bed at Nan's (she put 2 couch cushions together and covered them with a blanket. Perfect size! He had no problems getting to sleep. In the morning Nan awoke before he did so went to read the paper. She thought she heard him so checked in on him - he was laying there with his eyes open. Gave him 10 minutes.... peeked again - he was laying their cuddling with MY sweater all balled up; She said it was adorable... gave him 10 more minutes.... peeked again - this time he was wearing my sweater! ha ha ha. So cute.

Gramma & Grampa drove in from Medicine Hat and picked up Quinn. They took him to the Zoo! Good times were had. They went to Tony Roma's for dinner and stayed in a Hotel with a swimming pool. Quinn sure loes the water! On sunday they went shopping and Quinn got some new clothes.

Around noon they came back to Nan's where we were waiting for him. He was an Angel all weekend. Hoo-ray!


Looking forward to Steve & Karens visit in March and we'll be back for a week in May!


Thanks everybody!
