Sunny Days are Here Again

Talk about a belated summer. In the last week the temperature has been above 20 every day with only a little rain falling at night. The farmers are saying "Finally!!".
Matt has gotten over his urinary infection but the medication have caused other complications so he has been really out of sorts an hasn't done much this week. Dad did take him for his bath in Innisfail yesterday. Last weekend mom, dad, Nolan and Matt came for a barbeque and then played hand and foot. Dad finished picking all the potatoes. Now I really wished we had a cold storage!
Nolan went back to work on Monday at a new position in the same company. It is straight days with no nights. He did have to take a cut in pay but for overall health it was a good move. It was sure nice having him around so I didn't have only Matthew to bug!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the troops are heading to our place tomorrow to celebrate. Nolan is working Sunday and Monday so we are giving thanks tomorrow. Dad is going back to Weekes on Sunday as well.
I just want to give thanks to all the family and friends who still follow the blog and are continuing to pray for Matt. God gives us what we need before we need it and the strength that was received from family and friends got us through the most difficult of times. Everything else now seems very minor (except when my chips and dip run out, now that is major!)
Happy Thanksgiving and take the time to give thanks for everything and everyone in your life.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of you. Hope you had a wonderful time together. We celebrated yesterday with all our kids. Everyone stayed overnight as they didn't finish playing Sequence until two in the morning.

Today I went to a baby shower. Got to meet our newest little great-neice on uncle's side of the family. What a little sweetheart.


Combining is almost finished. Just the flax left and we should have that finished by Wednesday. Yeah!
We are certainly thankful for that.

Hope you are feeling better Matt.
Not much fun when you don't feel good. I have had a bad cough for six weeks and just keeps hanging on. Much better than it was a couple weeks ago.

I have Jada for a sleepover tonight. She is growing up so fast.

Are you guys coming to Weekes for christmas? I can't believe it is only two and a half months away.

Take care and love to you all.
