Puppies!

The puppies have arrived! They arrived yesterday, February 27, 1 boy and 3 girls, so far all doing very well.  I am a proud grandma :)

Wednesday

Today we had lunch at Applebees with some extended family, it was great to get together with them and talk.  Joanne wasn't feeling very well after spending the night with me in the hotel so she stayed home and relaxed.
In the evening Wendy came up to the hotel and spent some time chatting with me.

Visisting with Joanne

The Sleeping Giant at the Marina

Yesterday my sister Joanne was having a good day so we decided to get out for an hour or so.  We picked up a coffee and headed down to the Marina.  I have missed living beside a lake now that I am in Lethbridge.  Then we headed to the mall and Joanne managed to walk for about 15 minutes which was great.  We just browsed not actually shopping. Joanne was sore when we got home though and feeling tired so she went to lay down and have a nap.  It has been a busy few days with me here so she has been up and moving around more then she has been, which is wonderful, but also means she tires faster.

Tonight I am moving to a hotel for a few days, just to give myself a break from the busy household and actually sleep in a bed rather then a couch .  I don't mind the couch but my old body has other ideas.  Joanne is going to try and come with me tonight, we will just relax and watch movies, maybe order a pizza, fun sister stuff. :)

On Saturday night we had a family dinner , it was a great night with Joanne and we were able to get some awesome pictures.  Unfortunately my youngest sister Debra and her family were not here, it would have been wonderful to get pictures with her in them as well.

Hopefully Joanne continues to be feeling pretty good for the remainder of our visit.  I am already dreading leaving her, saying goodbye will be beyond difficult :(

4-5 days to go!

Autumn is very close to having her puppies, they are due around the 25th , 26th, these picture were taken of  her yesterday

Change of Plans

In my life things change very quickly,  now instead of going home on March 1 I am going home this Friday.  Joanne's wife called this morning to say that she felt if I wanted to have a quality visit to come sooner rather then later, she is noticing lots of small changes in Joanne everyday.  She stays in bed a lot, eats next to nothing, her pain is quite bad and she just wants to sleep.  Trying to get everything figured out with flights and the dogs is exhausting, I will be glad to just get on the plane and chill out. 

I have been having trouble with my left ear, it feels plugged and it feels like my heart is beating inside it lol, anyway I was lucky to get in to see my Dr tomorrow , hopefully it just needs to be flushed out, I didn't want to get on the plane then get a nasty earache or have my eardrum blow because of the pressure......ouch!

Amanda has been amazing and has agreed to taking the dogs early and is coming to pick them up for me tomorrow, I will take Lync out to Judy's after supper tonight.

Anyway, I better get back to packing, might as well start getting organized now!
