I Was Right

I knew that he would be like John with his new phone. I took him to the mall to get his IPhone and I haven't been able to speak to him since! Except when we were in the van and I got a phone call from an unknown caller and it was Matt phoning from the back of the van! John and him are like to kids in a candy store, comparing their phones and discussing their Gb's(gigabytes), Matt has 16 and John only has 8! They do have the same covering on the outside. Right now they are downloading the weather channel onto his phone. I haven't seen Matt so excited since he bought Esmeralda, the van. Just thought I would share this with you!
We had to drop off Shaunie at school, which I do almost everyday. I was so excited because Airene has been working with her everyday and she wrote her name without a visual to help. She has really come along since the summer and we even waited in line for a Santa Claus picture without a complete meltdown. Thank goodness, since we leave for South Africa in less than 2 weeks. Since it was Wednesday we went for wings, great time as usual. The waitress doesn't even come to the table to ask our orders, she knows it off by heart! We are very boring and always order the same thing.

Still No Snow

Well. so much for putting winter tires on Matt's van. There has been no snow and the weather has again turned unseasonal warm. +11 degrees for the last few days, but the wind has been very strong. A 50 foot pole in Calgary blew over and smashed two cars.
But let me regress. Matt had a great time at home. The Biros came to visit. Matt was able to see Kristen and Cody's little guy Lane, and Denita and her kids also came over. Aunty Sandy was going to come but they were still combining so important to get that crop off before the snow falls. Matt loved beating Ted and Dad in crib when they went uptown. Matt was partners with Marvin Burley. Cecelia, mom and Matt played Racko, dice, dominoes at night. You name it they played. Mom even went to work at the nursing home for one day. Hopefully mom and Matt are going home for New Year's, so will be great to see the people coming home for the holidays. I am sure he will love to go watch a few hockey games. On the way back to Red Deer, they stopped in Saskatoon to pick up Alex and bring her to Lacombe to visit with her granddaughter.
Matt has again fallen back on his routine. Matt has been feeling under the weather and had seen Dr. Myburgh before leaving for Sask. and took Tamiflu and antibiotics which did help. His spasms have improved since decreasing the Accutane dose. His left shoulder is giving him trouble again and went for a massage which gives short term relief. Unfortunately because of his acne he never lays on his back at night so only lays on one side which is the left. Dr. Guthrie's office phoned to make an appt for Matt to see a specialist in Edmonton about his bladder. The appt is on a Thursday and Matt is so excited that I will be driving and not mom! I hope I can live up to his expectations. Tomorrow we are heading to Bower Mall to get the Iphone from Bell. They said it is the easiest phone for someone with one hand to use, and we will also get a blue tooth. I hope he is not like John and constantly be surfing the net with it! I end up talking to the side of his head.
