The ups and downs of life with Morgan.
Full of energy and so happy t0 visit with Gramma Carol and Panteli
She phones to see if she can arrange a visit with them and then works things out with her mom and dad.
The plan was for her to sleep over Sat. and Sun. night and then spend the day with dad and I on Monday and then on Tuesday she would meet up with her parents in Langley at the soccer practice for Ben.
She is so happy and excited when dad and I come over to Carol's to have supper with her and Pentali. She is very helpful and also takes our order just like Auntie Kim does at the restaurant. She takes me up stairs to show me where she sleeps in a cute little room. Then she races downstairs ahead of me on her bum. I pause to take pictures on the landing which she also points out of her and Ben. I get vertigo trying to lean back and take a picture.Sometime during the day she phones her mom feeling a little homesick, which is very unusual. She has had a wonderful exciting day at the art gallery where they had special notes under the pictures for children to express what they liked about the pictures. She was right into doing just that.
Anyway the plans that she would come and stay at our house on the Monday were settled and she arrived early when I am not even fully awake. She again phoned her mom feeling sad so her mom Theresa drove in to pick her up.
She had enjoyed taking Haiti for a walk and going to the dollar store with dad (great grandpa).
When her mom arrived Theresa made some sandwiches and we ate on the table out in the back yard.
Then she got busy colouring pictures to enter into a contest put on by the store. Kim had picked up the pictures and will drop them in to-morrow.
Kim was in and out. Home from school and then out to play soccer.
I lay down after everyone leaves.
Theresa is taking a course called Human Geography and wants to become a full teacher not just a helper. It is a very taxing and demanding job especially with one child with serious diabetes who needs very close watching.
Well I am off downstairs to join dad watching the hockey which sounds very exciting. Waiting for news!

How nice to read about Morgan and her exciting visit with her grandparents and great grandparents. It is so nice to know that everyone is fostering her love of art by taking her to the gallery and giving her the chance to win a contest with her art!
Many years ago my niece liked to stay with us too, on school holidays..but she got homesick too and often called her mom to pick her up! Boys don't seem to get as homesick.
Good for Theresa, thinking of becoming a teacher...it is such a rewarding career....Theresa, I am sure you can do it...go for it! You can achieve your dreams!
Sooo no news on the arrival of the new baby? Oh boy, the waiting is so hard, isn't it? Hopefully baby Sebastian decides it is time to meet everyone soon.
I am feeling much better but poor Carl has the flu now. There are a lot of people around here sick with it....it is going through the school too.
It is a "west coast" morning with fog and a raw cold.....the temp is only 0C.
Love, Nancy
No news. Still on stand by for baby. It is starting to warm up a bit here so we could go for a longer walk. Simone and I had fun smashing the think ice that makes so much noise.
We are off to play at a gym later and then it is my turn to make supper.
Morgan had a lovely visit :) thanks to all the special grandmas and grampas
