Deadmonton....I Mean Edmonton

Well where to start.... it's been along weekend and lots has been going on so it may be a long post.

First off Tigger is defintly on th emend. And she is trying to catch up on all the loving she missed out on while she was ill for a couple of days. I took her back to the vet on Friday afternoon so they could give her some fluids as I was worried if we went away she would continue to not get any fluids. While we were there the vet found some ulcers on her tongue and they looked infected. So they gave her some fluid and antibiotics for her to take here at home. It has been much easier to give them to her then I thought. So like I said yeah Tiggy is on the mend.

This weekend we headed up to Edmonton where Lexie is going to school. I thought it would be a good trial for Lucas and driving to Kelowna this summer. Lucas did very well and will still nap in his car seat. He was loving the book reading. He loves to flip through the pages, seeing what new thing will be on the next page. Plus I have a jigsaw puzzle book for him that he quite enjoys looking at the all the peices as well.

Alexis has a very nice place in Edmonton. Although I'm still a bigger fan of Calgary. The apatement reminds me alot of my apartement on Elbow Drive. The same layout, although hers is definitly newer then the one we lived in. Plus she has more storage space. Luke was happy to see her and happy to not be sitting in his car seat and walked along her couch with his cars. Although her cat Toby was a little freaked out over the mini person. He looks like a human but is so small. After that we headed out for lunch and to West Edmonton Mall to show Darryl. West Edmonton Mall is just that- a mall. But it is large and does have lots of cool things attached. Waterslides, hotel , movie theatres, roller coaster, sea lions, flamingo's, penguins and lots of other water animals. Although we did not purchase a thing it was still fun to see and something to cross off our list.

Then we headed back to Lexies so Lucas could nap. But he was having none of that. What is this strange playpen and this strange room. So after 45ish minutes of trying we gave up. No afternoon nap for him. We hung out for a while till my sister's boyfriend showed up then scooted off to Earls. I was thinking it was going to be so busy on a Saturday night at 6pm, but we walked right in and got a booth. Poor Dan (sister's boyfirend) ended up right beside Lucas and spent lots of time picking Lucas's toys up off the ground. Hopefully we didn't scare him away with our gravity obesessed child. Afterwards we headed back to Lexies for a little tea, conversation and cheesecakes. Dan was really nice and I'm glad my sister has found someone to spend time with in Deadmonton.... I mean Edmonton.

The next day Lucas was up at 7am and I'm sure Lexie was cursing the day she invited us. What is this crazy child who wakes up in the night (although ince it was her cats fault) and then wakes again at 7am. We enjoyed some cinnabon for breaky and then headed out for a drive so Luke could have his afternoon nap. We went to the Parliment Buildings and they were so nice. Then we headed down to Whyte Ave for a little ice cream and cute store shopping. After that we headed home. It was so good to see Alexis and it's weird that we live far apart again. Like when I first saw her I saw that her hair was shorter. When we were kids I would have known about that right away. Anyway she is a great sister and so much fun. Thanks for the laughing Lexie!

The trip home was good as well. Lucas slept for half of it and play for the other half. That night we headed to a neighboor house for a birthday BBQ and yesterday we caught up on the weekend chores.

Till Tommorrow and another funny video

Hi there:
Glad you had a great long weekend, and happy to hear Tigger is on the mend. Life wouldn't be the same without the two cats. Alexis is certainly becoming a lovely young woman, and great to hear there is a fellow interested, and that you liked him. When there was no news over the weekend, I wondered if something terrible had happened to Tigger. Glad not. Lucas is so cute in all these pictures, and only 7 more sleeps 'til I get him to myself.
Love to all, Grammy

Hooray for Tigger!

We're so glad to hear that she's feeling better and she's going to be okay! I wish I was there to help her catch up on love and snuggles.

Hunter and Casey have crossed the line from learning to get along to becoming friends. They're regularly playing tug of war with toys now and this weekend they played a game of tag. Casey was "it" and he chased Hunter until we broke them up to give them each a rest. Hunter is still so small that he's able to run into the gardens under the hostas where Casey can't see him then he takes off in a different direction so Casey can chase him some more!

Gosh animals are fun! They give SOOOO much more than they take! I can't imagine our household without several 4-legged family members.

Love,
Lori
