We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving long weekend! We have so many things to be thankful for in our lives. All in all we had a good weekend. But before I get into our weekend, I want to congratulate my sister Lindsay and her new fiance Jeremy on their engagement!!! Jeremy proposed on Friday night. We are all very excited and can't wait for the wedding! Over the weekend we had lots of fun talking about the wedding and planning!! Hard to believe my little sister is getting married!!! Cal was off Friday so it was an extra long weekend for us! Blake is still not feeling well. He has been feverish since Thursday night. We've had a couple of busy nights, but he slept well last night so hopefully he's starting to feel better. On Friday morning Cal and I took him to the Dr. Apparently his ear infection isn't quite gone, but the Dr. didn't think he needed another round of antibiotics and said his chest was clear so we should just wait and see how he does this weekend. After the Dr. we came back home and took our trailer out to the storage lot near Spruce Grove and then met my Mom and Dad for brunch. Afterwards we came home and Cal and I got ready for our anniversary date! Mom came over to babysit Blake and Cal and I went to a movie and for dinner. It was a great evening! When we got home Blake had been coughing and had a fever so we gave him Tylenol. That night he was up every couple of hours. Poor guy - every time he laid down he'd get so stuffed up and have troubles breathing until we picked him up and his sinus' drained. Saturday we stayed home pretty much all day. Cal had hockey in the a.m. and went to pick up his race package. Saturday night was much of the same for Blake and Sunday we stayed home all day again. My Mom and sister came for a visit in the morning and I finally got to see Lindsay's rock!! It's a beautiful engagement ring :) Sunday night Blake finally had a good sleep and today we headed to Cal's 1/2 marathon and Stony Plain. It was a bit chilly in the morning, but perfect weather for running! Cal chased the turkey and finished the race in 1 hour, 58 minutes. He was happy with his time, as he didn't do as much training as he initially planned on!! (mostly due to his near death experience!) After the race we headed to Stony Plain for Thanksgiving dinner. We got there quite early and Blake went down for a nap, so the girls headed to the local spa for a pedicure! It was fun!! When we got back the turkey was ready and we chowed down. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! Blake had a bath and got his p.j.'s on at my parents house, fell asleep in the car on the way home and transferred into his crib! Phew!! Hopefully he has a good night tonight and tomorrow I will see if I can get him an appointment with his pediatrician. I have a nice short 3 day work week this week thankfully. On Thursday we may head to Stony Plain. My Mom and her department at work have worked very hard organizing the Glenn Hall event, honouring an NHL hall of fame goalie who is a Stony Plain resident, so we'd like to be there. And we'd love to get a picture of Blake with the Stanley Cup! That opportunity doesn't come around very often! We hope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
