Adventures in Calgary

After a horribly stressful week at work I was quite scared about flying with Molly at night. Noel's theory in booking the flights was that Molly would just sleep...no such luck. She walked the aisles, said hi to everyone, watched some TV, talked to the other babies near by on the plane and then napped for the last 20 minutes of the flight. We were super duper lucky that we didn't have anyone else in our aisle so Molly could sit between us buckled in. Molly has been a dream on this vacation so far (touch wood). She's sleeping better than she does at home even. Part of me doesn't ever want to leave (not to go to Kingston or to go to Calgary even) - it's just been so long since I could sleep for more than 4 or 5 hours at a stretch. We've just been hanging loose since we arrived. We've done some shopping, some swimming, I helped dad build some shelves...nothing exciting but it's been so great just having some down time with the family. Tomorrow we head to Kingston to visit with Gin and the boys, Aunt Chuckie, Gram Corkey and possibly some friends. Should be fun as long as Molly doesn't go completely insane in the car. Poor thing is getting some molars so her mouth seems pretty sore. Luckily we packed the tylenol. I even gave in and bought her baby anbesol but when I put it on her gums just gagged for about 5 minutes so I won't be using that again. Live and learn.

Molly loved going to the Stampede to see Splash'n Boots. She danced up a storm - even though she was completely tired out from the heat.

It's been a while but I finally have a bit of time to upload some photos. Molly is out for a walk with Grandma Nancy before her lunch. Noel is off on a ride to Bragg Creek. The house is wonderfully quiet. We're going to Canmore later today to visit with Chris, Brent, Kennedy and Aaron. This weekend has been so great. Lots of great visits with friends. We are so incredibly lucky.

Molly's spots are finally on the way out. You can hardly tell she even had any spots. Mom came to help us out and she's been a godsend. I don't know how we would've managed without being able to send Molly to the dayhome. Today was the first day Molly got to play with Grace and the other kids on the street and she was pretty excited. Nothing else to report. Mom goes home Wednesday morning. We haven't taken too many pictures but I'll post the couple we did take soon-ish.
