Forest Family Trip

We have just spent our last day in Lethbridge with Todd's sister Monica and her two daughters.
Abbey went to her first day of pre-school, which was quite successful - she comforted several of her friends who were crying, her favourite part of the day was playing dolls. I wish I remembered when life was so simple!
My boys started their school as well and I swear I spent a long time in school today as well! Dillon got started on math and science, his print subjects and Damian started his online courses by planning out some of his year. There is no internet at Monica's so I took Damian to Starbucks for a drink and some school work. After listening to his complaints, I explained that most kids, and even some adults would love to be able to go to work/ school where he was.
Overall, I think it went quite well, however, if you asked the boys, I think they would say they hate it. They did enjoy PE class as Todd took them for a 45 minute bike ride to Nicholas Sheron Park in Lethbridge. Monica and I took the girls for a walk while they were gone.
Other than all of that, I have been talking with my family back in Nova Scotia as my Dad is in the Halifax Infirmary hospital. He wasn't feeling well on Sunday morning, so he asked Mom to take him to the medical centre and they transfered him right away. He felt as if a small person was standing on his chest. He had double bypass heart surgery in 2001, so heart troubles were what was suspected. The update tonight is he has had a dye test and one of the valves they repaired is not functioning properly, tomorrow they will decide whether to do the ballon and blow out the valve or do heart surgery. The tech seems to favour the former. He will stay in hospital until something happens, and I am also concerned about my Mom, eating and getting her rest. I pray Dad's recovery goes better than the doctors expect.

Tomorrow, we are off to Edmonton to visit Todd's parents and brother and sister in law.
