After yesterday's activities, we decided today would be a quiet day. I got up with the baby at 6:30 and let Nat sleep in a bit. Aiden went to preschool for the morning. Natalie and I started a game of Scrabble at 11:30 and have been playing words off and on all day long, in between meals, feedings and naps. Tonight I played Mr. Potato Head and build a big lego building with Aiden. Doug is building stairs downstairs. Nat and I are about to watch some type of movie. Awaiting a big storm starting in the night. Josh is coming home tomorrow night from an RCMP course in Winnipeg. Be careful, Mr. RCMP man! We will pray for your safety. Your wee family misses you.

Nat's friend, Elissa, moved to Steinbach (Manitoba) yesterday. So last night's meeting with Debbie, Darlene and Nicole was a type of 'support group' to grieve the moving on of their good friend. Her RCMP husband got transferred. It's good for Elissa, as she be closer to her mother. 'Bad' for her friends in The Pas, though. Good thing Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and thank goodness for facebook and email.

I know what it's like to miss a friend. And soon I'll know what it's like, once again, to miss our daughter and northern grandkids. Pray for us as we part once more.
