Keeping Busy

Well the weather was great for awhile but has turned cold again. However we didn't get dumped on like Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We were treated to the thickest frost I had ever seen. Took some pictures of the girls shaking the trees and letting the frost fall on them. It has been an adjustment getting back into the swing of things, and my palm treo phone with calendar has become my best friend again.
Matt is keeping busy with his exercises and looks so much stronger. His acne has really come along way and I hope we can start doing laser treatments for the scarring. He is going to the Red Deer College in February to sign up for classes. I think he is leaning towards history for now. They are also signing up for the handi bus. When he lived out here the bus wouldn't come for him but now that he is in the city he arranges for transport at a minimal cost. Matt can't just phone them on the spur of the moment however he books a week or so ahead of time and then he has more freedom to travel. Dad left back to Sask. last week so Matt is dependent on a hired driver or myself again.
Today they are going to Fabricland to pick out material for his pants. A lady mom knows will sew some pants for him with velcro in the front so he has an easier time with self catheterization. Then off for his bath in Innisfail. We still haven't arranged for anything in Red Deer yet, and the sliding tub chair they tried out was again too short for Matt's height.
Jonmarie and Shaunie love to go to Matt's house when I work after school to play Wii. There is a no TV rule at our house during the week and they get spoiled when the go to Uncle Matt's!
Grandma is enjoying more extra curricular activities and has been going for supper with some of the ladies from school. It is like trying to pull teeth for her to do something for herself. Tonight she is booked for a massage and then supper again, and she keeps thinking she should cancel because I will have to go a watch Matt and take him with me to Jonmarie's swimming lesson. Like she doesn't help me at the drop of a hat!
I think Auntie Karen is coming in the middle of February to visit and I booked them for pedicures at the spa for the Friday. Nice treat when the winter blues are getting you down. So remember, if family comes and visit I will treat you so let that be an incentive to come down! We have an extra room again and so does mom.
