Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Wascana in the middle of the prairie! The weather was very nice at the start of the week, but it has turned colder again. Uncle Bordie, Howard and Diane have remained here until today, so we've enjoyed extra visiting with them to make up for not getting to see them in BC. I'm on medication for the clots in my leg, but I haven't noted any particular improvement yet—soon, I hope! This weekend we celebrated both Liam and Haaken's birthdays. Liam's birthday was today, and we enjoyed a special supper, birthday cake, a movie and a bowling adventure with them. We plan to celebrate Haaken's birthday tomorrow with a dinner out. We've enjoyed another week with Erin and Kristian—thanks for hosting us! The markets have been crazy again this week, but a final month of Obama's jobs' numbers turned Friday into a big payoff and almost got me to quota for the week. I've been getting promising results paper-trading a new strategy, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger and put any money into it just yet. The NHL has returned to action after the all-star break, and Pittsburgh has returned strongly to action, while Edmonton has dropped a couple. The Jayhawks won a big game against Baylor early in the week, and then inexplicably dropped a game to Iowa State today. C'mon guys—Rock, chalk!
As mentioned, the Baileys were here to celebrate Liam's birthday. He has been practicing for his school play that hits the boards next week, so he has practices this weekend as well. It was a struggle to fit in his birthday celebrations! The performance is next weekend, and we hope to take in the Friday evening showing. Haaken continues with his program for employment assistance. He is also helping out with cooking supper, and has been putting together pitches for stories. Eric is down to crunch time on his counselling supervision course. All assignments are due early this month, so there's a bit of extra pressure there. Erica is in busy season at work as well, and is working some evenings. What a fun life!
Erin keeps busy with Kristian's schedule of school and bowling, and then there's her house guests to manage as well. Kristian is having eye issues again, so he's on medication for that. He has bowling league each Saturday morning, and bowling practice on Monday evenings. He's enjoying it, and beat his average each game again this morning.
Trav & Joanna and crew are taking care of things at home. His team lost the championship game in the tournament last weekend. They continue to play well, and even better in tournaments. Gemma and Andrew are into second semester at school.
And that's about it for this week!
