Busy, busy, busy

Sorry about the late blog, weekends are so busy it is just an extension of the week.
Matt and I again took the nannies to Tony Roma's for wings, it is something we look forward to all week. Gives Grandma a break from Matt (& vice versa) and me a chance to go without the girls. Grandma loves to spend time with the grand kids. We are sure missing dad for snow clearing and transporting Matt to all his therapy sessions and bath. Hopefully he will be returning soon. Of course the big enticement will be the new van. John and I went up Saturday with the payment and Gary will take it to be modified on Tuesday. If all goes well, we may even have the van by this weekend. Can't wait to have heat without leaving it run for 1/2 hours. However the beast has been running great, no problems whatsoever so it will be like giving up an old ornery friend!
Matt's weekly massage has been great and OT has been very impressed with Matt's improvements. Cecilia has been trying to get Matt's left hand to open and close by using the stim machine but the pads are too big. You place the sticky pads on certain muscles which transmits an electrical impulse to get that muscle to move.So the pads we have now cover too much area and needs to be smaller for more precise movement. We will be on the lookout for smaller pads.
As I am writing this at work, I don't have my bible with me so an appropriate memory verse is eluding me so please reply with a verse in the comment section. Have a great week.

Wings sound good. I saw a new version of buffalo wings (the diet way) on tv the other day. They cut strips of chicken breast and then coated it with the hot sauce. So I guess with fewer calories and no fat - they would be good too. Did you watch the big Super Bowl? Quite an ending.

Warming up around here finally. Above zero finally. Larissa and Reg are hauling grain today. She passed her Class 3 license, driving around Saskatoon in rush hour traffic with the semi truck (cab only). Passed on her first try. If she can get on where Reg is working in Alberta, she'll do that to earn a bit of money before her big day.

Keep up all the hard work. It always pays off in the end.
