Happy Canada Day!!

We hope everyone is enjoying this Canada Day holiday!! We are all feeling good again and enjoying the weather. Blake had a rough time with the antibiotics he was on. It gave him severe abdominal cramps and he had no appetite. This lasted from Sunday evening to Wednesday evening. We were so glad when he was feeling better! Poor little guy. He is growing and changing so much each day. He talks and talks and talks and talks and talks!! Sometimes I think I know what he's saying, but most of the time I have no idea!! He definitely says juice, ball, uh-oh, Mom and Dad. Uh-oh is the most common!! And we think he calls every liquid juice! All we give him is water and milk, but if he thinks it's juice whatever I guess?! It's getting hard to eat or drink around him. He wants whatever you have! And he loves drinking from cups, mugs and water bottles. But it can be pretty messy! Speaking of messy, he's pretty insistent on feeding himself. And boy is it messy!! Every day seems to bring something new. It's amazing how fast he's changing and growing! On Wednesday evening I had dinner out with my New Mom's Group ladies. We always have so much fun when we get together!! This weekend we went camping with my parents to Long Island Lake. It was gorgeous!! Definitely one of my favorite lakes we've visited so far. I REALLY want a cabin on that lake!!!! Mark my words, if I win the lotto I'm buying a cabin there. Cal found a nice one for sale last night online - only $625,000.00!! Peanuts?! LOL! Maybe we could sell our house and live there permanently? Hmmm ... don't think so! Anyways, it is a very nice, clean lake. Beautiful sandy beach and no seaweed. The lake was very busy with boats! There's even a water skiing course on the lake. There's also awesome quadding trails right there. Cal and Dad went out on Saturday and came back dirty and muddy! You know it's a good day quadding when you come back muddy! The weather was so hot. We stuck mostly to the shade, but did head to the beach one day. Blake loved playing in the water! He had a lot of fun. He did come home from camping a little "spotty" though! A couple of mosquitoes must have braved the mosquito repellent. Poor guy! Karen is on vacation this week, but it's turned out okay for us. Cal was off Monday, we're both off today, Wednesday and Thursday my parents are going to watch Blake and then I'm off Friday. We're taking it easy today. Did a little shopping this morning and when Blake wakes up from his afternoon nap we're heading to the park. We hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weather (personally it's a little too hot for me!)! Happy Canada Day!

Luv Cal, Tracy & Blake
