Another Week

January has been a hard month.  We've all had some sort of illness or another... and some of us more than once!  I have felt like death warmed over and hence, nothing has got done around the house.  It's been rough! 

Lennard had his last appointment with the specialist in Calgary for his wrist on Monday.  I was planning on going with him, but I just wasn't feeling well enough to go.  My dad ended up going with him instead and I stayed in bed.  Good news though - he's healed enough that he's done with all the specialist appointments and physio!  Hooray!  It's been a long haul!

Lennard was going to go to our Ward Temple Night on Tuesday night, but, once again, I wrecked our plans.  He ended up taking Emma out for her dance class and missing temple night so that I could stay in bed.  Grrr...

By Wednesday, I was starting to feel a bit better.  We had my parents over for dinner.  Thursday, I was SO ready to get out of the house, that we went to Lethbridge to get groceries.  I got a new food processor too (since I wrecked mine...oops!).  It felt so good to be out!

Friday morning, I helped make smoothies at the school for everyone.  It went really well this time and we were done making about 600 smoothies by 9:30.  The kids got home from school at noon and begged to go down to Lego League and Crafty Critters.  We got there a bit early and had to wait for them to open, but they ended up staying until 3:30 when Lennard picked them up on the way home from work.  We got to babysit Bryan and Spencer that evening while Mindy & Dan took the rest of their boys to do baptisms.  Rachel & Cub were in town and invited us to go out to dinner with them at Ming's, so we loaded everyone up and went!  Bryan wouldn't eat anything and Spencer had about 4 chicken balls and a couple shrimp.  Ha! Ha!  Big eaters!  They didn't charge us for them, so it all worked out.  It was Brooke's birthday too, so it was fun to get to see her and wish her a Happy Birthday.  I was teasing her that she's my birthday buddy (since we're the only ones in the family born in January), but she didn't think that was right.  Ha! Ha!  It was a fun evening.

Saturday, the kids had Champs.  They had to leave ten minutes early so that Ben could go to his friend's (Huntly) baptism.  Then, as soon as they were back from that, we headed down to the theatre to see "Mary Poppins Returns" with the kids.  They loved it and it was so fun to watch their expressions.  Such a fun movie.

We all made it to church today!  Well... we all got there, but then just before Sacrament meeting started, Lennard got called out for a power outage.  So, he left and the rest of us stayed.  He got home just 15 minutes before we did.  We had my parents over this evening for meatloaf (Ben's choice).  We sat and visited for a while and had a pretty relaxed evening.  We didn't end up getting our 'Home-Sunday School' done this afternoon, so we'll do it tomorrow night. 

Hopefully this next week finds us all healthy! 

Haven't taken many pictures this week... I had to laugh at this one though.  The second Lennard has food, Buddy comes running.  He sure wanted some of Lennard's lunch of fried chicken!
