Today, Brad & I have been married 4 years. In some ways it only feels like 2 and in other ways I could swear this is anniversary number 5. 2009-2005 = 4 years right?!
Our house is getting fuller and fuller these next couple weeks. Brad's little sister Maegan is still with us. Brad's mom arrives Sunday and stays for 4 weeks and the next Sunday Brad's dad arrives for 3 weeks...and then everyone leaves.
I don't even know what to type. Baby is sleeping, I'm grabbing a quick bite and the house is silent. SILENT. My mission - to finish laundry, check off some to-do's, and make room for company.

Happy Canada Day!
Yesterday was Canada Day. This year we (Zachary & I) spent Canada Day in Regina with Auntie Sarah, Uncle Wheeler, Mom and Dad. My parents celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary in the city where they were married. Kind of cool. And we ended the day off watching the fireworks by the legislature! Beautiful. Zachary's first fireworks and he LOVED them! He kept looking up in the sky as we were walking to the car trying to see more! I was a little more concerned about the noise, hoping that I wasn't wrecking his hearing at such a young age. Maybe my fingers in his ears helped a little :)
This past week, we had a little scare. My little guy had immunizations last Wednesday and was doing okay but as a precaution I gave him some tylenol. He was sleeping much more than usual and when he woke up from a long nap around noon the soft spot on his head was bumped up. So I sat with him a while wondering if it would drop and it didn't. Called the health line, they recommended I get it checked out. Best place to go after some phone calls and consideration. Emergency at the hospital.
They took his underarm temp and we waited for a little while. The doctor came in...said he looks okay, you don't really need to worry but we'll take a rectal temp just to be sure. Took the temperature he has a fever. The doctor returns and says with the swollen soft spot and a fever this changes the scenario. We need to rule out hydrocephalus and meningitis. You have two options. Either admit him for the next ten days while we administer antibiotics or get a spinal tap! BWAH!
My little guy only four months old ended up with blood work, a spinal tap, a long wait at the hospital. And after all that...he is okay! Which is wonderful! My goodness...my intentions of just make sure he is okay ended up causing this whole chain of events. I kept asking, "am I just being a nervous mom" and the response was continually no...in fact it was good you came in. And every resident, nurse and pediatric doctor came in to see his swollen soft spot. Apparently, this was not a common sight. Good grief!
So we are happy today is today, this weekend has been fun...and we're off to see my grandma down at the farm.
