Time Does Fly!

Sorry about such a long delay and hope people don't think we forgot about them but I have been on holidays for the last 2 weeks and just haven't had time to get on the computer. First we were off to Fairmont as soon as Jonmarie was done school and then did a quick turnaround at home to get ready for a camping trip with Shauna and Dale at Gull Lake. Not a great week for camping as it rained and was cold everyday but we still survived and made the best of it.
Matt has been busy. He said the RCMP dog show was fantastic and they did some demonstrations with the puppies first and then the mother of some of the puppies came out to show what she could do. Matt was very impressed and was shocked that each dog after training is worth around $16,000.
Continuing with weekly therapies and Matt had a good session today and then off to his bath in Innisfail. Watched him do some standing exercises and was impressed how much easier it looks to rig him up in his standing frame and how much more trunk control he has.
We have had lots of company lately. Uncle Wince and Auntie Carol from B.C. came to visit and it was so funny to watch him and dad argue and tease each other like they probably did when the were younger. They even came out for the afternoon to the campsite when Jacki brought the kids and Grandma. Matt was unable to come because of the rain.
John's son Kennie from New Zealand arrived at the end of June and Jonmarie is loving having her big brother to do things with. They are always off swimming or playing games and she will really miss him when he goes back at the end of July. Shaunie likes him too but likes to be with her mom and dad.
Matt, mom and dad have made many trips to Calgary and have watched Nolan play ball a few times. Lindsay has been off since injuring her knee ligament and is waiting for possible surgery. Not a happy camper! Matt again is going up this weekend to Calgary and it is great that Jacki and Gary get there house re-organized every time he visits. Nolan and Lindsay have bought a house together and made sure there is an entrance that Matt can get into, even if it is on the lower level it still helps for when he comes to visit.
Good luck with the wedding tomorrow Lanna and wish you both the best. Sorry we couldn't make it down but maybe will see you sometime in August. Dad is going back on Monday or Tuesday and I don't know what I will do without him helping in the garden which has survived and cutting grass. Matt and mom will head to Weekes August long weekend and stay until after Jamie's wedding. Things have been so busy here that Mom says she needs a holiday from her holiday!
