Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all Dad's and Grandpa's!! It is Cal's 2nd Father's Day! We gave him part of his gift on Thursday, because it was a large Running Room gym bag and I thought he could use it for Boot Camp Friday morning!! The other half of his gift, a new pair of running shorts, are back ordered! So he'll get them in a week or so. When Cal picked Blake up from Karen's on Thursday, she gave him a Father's Day gift Blake had made! It is a tile finger painted with a picture of Blake in the corner. It's protected with a clear coat so you can put a coffee mug on it or something! Cal took it to work on Friday. We were going to have my parents and Cal's Dad over for supper tonight, but we were all too tired from the weekend. We spent the whole weekend with my Dad and had breakfast together this morning, so that's good! Hopefully we'll talk to Cal's Dad tonight. He's busy around the farm on weekends and outside most of the time, so not easy to catch on the phone!! Blake's 1 yr. immunizations on Thursday were not nearly as bad as I thought they'd be! PHEW!! I thought they'd be much worse because he's older and more aware and there were 3 needles. The first two, one in the arm and one in the leg, didn't even elicit a cry! The third one was one he hadn't had before. It was in the arm and the nurse said it stings. He cried for a few seconds, but that was it! Now he goes back for more immunizations at 18 months and then not again until 4 YEARS (other than the yearly flu shot)!!! That will be a nice break :) Blake weighed in at 23 lbs. 5 oz. (25th percentile) and 29 3/4" (50th percentile). I can't remember what his head circumference was, but it was in the 50th percentile too! At the immunizations we mentioned to the nurse that Blake's right ear was very hot and he was pulling at it. She said it sounds like an ear infection and we should take him to the doctor. So after the immunization appointment I took him to my doctor, but thankfully it wasn't an ear infection. I'm worried that now that he's had one, he's going to get a lot. Camping was great this weekend. It's so nice to get out of the city! It didn't rain, but it was quite windy at times. Elk Island National Park is gorgeous. There are a lot of walking and biking trails and a beautiful beach. On a hot day the beach would be very nice! Blake came down with a cold on Saturday night. Poor little guy. He's soooo stuffed up. I hope an ear infection doesn't follow the cold. I'm glad he's home with Cal tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be feeling better on Tuesday when he goes back to Karen's. On Thursday night Cal and I are going on a date! We're going for dinner and then to Cirque de Soleil. We loved the show we saw in Vegas, so thought we'd check out the one coming to Edmonton! My Mom is babysitting Blake. On Friday Blake and I are heading to Stony in the morning to meet baby Danielle. Danielle was born on June 9 to family friends Erica and Dion Gillam. She looks really cute in all the pictures I've seen and we're excited to meet her! Have a great week everyone!
