Tuesday

Today was a good day. I got up and went and picked up our friend Jen. We then went to Walmart to buy tank some more food. (I think I have enough to last a while maybe...) then drove down to the lake. We watched 2 guys *try* to throw a football around. I could throw one better then them. They need some football lessons. Either way it was entertaining. Then we got out of the car and took Austin to the swings. He had such a blast. He was laughing and giggling every time he swung close to us. After that we tried the slide. That's one thing he hasn't gotten the concept of yet. I put him on his bum, held his hands, tried to slide him down... and he put his feet flat on the slide then stood up. We will have to practice the slide thing I think..lol.

Austin has a cold. He's having a hard time breathing. Last night he kept waking up. Tonight I figured I would be smart and when he went down for the night I gave him some of the infant tylenol for colds. Well, he's up now. Seemingly wide awake. So..... I'm left him in his crib after calming him down. I can hear him playing and hopefully he goes to sleep. I hope this cold doesn't get too bad. It will suck not having Dave here to help out if it's a really bad cold.

Well, here are some pictures. First off, we have Austin's 8 month old pictures.

Next, we have the alberta pictures:

Dave leaving the airport.

Inside the West Edmonton Mall

Beautiful Sunset off Graham's deck.

Our awesome Polynesian room at the fantasyland hotel.

The really cute penguin I got to see upclose and personal

The sunset on the way home from Alberta.

Next we have pictures of Austin playing with Bailey and the water bowl.

And finally some pictures from the park today, he was loving the swing!

I'm sure there were a few updates on my 101 in 1,001 list but at this point I can't remember so maybe another night.

Austin is still up crying so I guess I better get him back to sleep.

A little something.

Here is a little something to make you smile. This has to be the funniest/cutest picture ever. I have set it on my desktop to cheer me up a little everytime I go to my computer.








For those of you who read me regularly you will notice that I will be posting a lot more now. Dave is moved to Alberta for work for 6 months. I am going to try to update this with pictures and videos (if I ever figure out how to post them) everyday or every other day. I want him to see how Austin is growing every day. I don't want him to feel like he's missing out on seeing him (well, as close as we can get to seeing him.) Dave flew out to alberta this morning and should just be landing as we speak. I am going to fly out on thursday and come home saturday. It will be a small vacation for us, plus we don't know what kind of living situation dave will be in so I will go out now so we can spend a few last days together before he starts working. I know it would be good to go out in a month or so but with me supposed to be going back to work I don't know what my schedule is going to be like or if I can even take time off to go see him. I think this is the best option right now.

Yesterday Austin was 8 months old. He's so cute and adorable. I can't believe that in just 4 short months he will be a year old!!!! yikes!

Well, that's all for now, I'm going to go have some lunch then get out of this now empty house.
