Busy Week

Sorry about the delay in blogging. It has been a crazy week. Matt's new camper arrived Monday night and dad and mom have been here every day just filling it with stuff. Dad had to get a special sway hitch and then get his light working properly before he can tow it back to Sask. Matt has been taking pictures and putting them on facebook. I added 2 new ones to the blog as well.
On Monday Matt and Airene went to see Sonja, the OT in the hospital to give Matt a refresher on the exercises he must do. He continues to do stretching and standing exercises almost everyday.
Jacki and Gary are in Vernon for 4 days and will be back later today. I have Amy and Bobby and Grandma has all the babies (Matt, Dad, Nolan and Anthony!!) It has been very busy and I am so thankful I only have 2 kids! My house looks like a tornado hit it (Bobby) and our camper has been used every night. That part has worked great because they are all close to me and I can get to them quickly when they need me. Last night Amy was missing her mommy so crawled into the bed with me.
For July 1st John and I took our girls to Sylvan Lake for some fantastic fireworks, but Matt felt too nervous to go. It was soo busy and lots of intoxicated people around.
Poor Matt, he is not used to the noise of the kids and hasn't been to the house in 3 days! Tonight they are coming for a barbeque.
John left for South Africa on Friday night and said the flights were packed, which makes for very uncomfortable flying. But he phoned from Cape Town and said the city is just vibrating with all the intensity of the World cup. Very exciting for him.
Yesterday we met them at Bower Ponds, Nolan and Erin came as well. The weather was great, not too cold or too warm. Mom forgot she was pushing Anthony in the stroller and almost lost him in a ravine! The kids loved feeding the ducks and playing on the playground, but the older kids (Nolan, Erin and Matt) were slightly bored. Great to have extra hands and an extra stroller (Matt's wheelchair).
Mom, Matt, dad, Jonmarie and Shaunie are leaving tomorrow to Sask and I will join them on Wednesday. Too many things to do before I go and then it will only be until Sunday. Matt, mom and dad will be in Sask until the middle of August. I will miss my babysitters!
Hope everyone had a great July 1st celebration of our great country!
