On Friday the 13th we all got our H1N1 vaccinations here in Spiritwood at the bowling arena. We mentioned the shots to Gracie and Holly the day before, wanting to prepare them for it, but it backfired on us. Gracie began crying hysterically. She wasn't getting one. She forgot our whole discussion the next day. When it was time to go she didn't say anything. When she saw the needle she began panicking so I held her while the nurse quickly gave her the needle and it was over. Same for Holly. She saw her big sister crying, which made her cry. It was over very quickly. Neil and I both got the needles too. It didn't even hurt. The arm was sore that night we all took Tylenol and went to bed.


On Saturday the 14th we all went to Mom and Dad's for supper. Laura and Craig were out with their kids Meagan and Kyle. They are so adorable. The girls played, fought, laughed, and cried. It was a good day. Mom and Dad had invited their neighbor, Don (who bought Mom and Dad's old house), over for supper. Neil and Craig went hunting and Dad was off working in the shop. So who was the first person to show up for supper. Well Don of course. The only guy in a room full of women. He brought out the alcohol and we were all drinking and having a good time sharing stories.


Today marks 2 years since we began our adoption. We singed our papers saying that we pick CAFAC as our adoption Facilitator and we want to move forward, and we sent our fees off to CAFAC. I always pictures us home with our kids by now.
