Not Meant To Be....

We had planned to go up to Vancouver despite the fact that we did not have event tickets. Imagine our excitement when a week before our trip Drew's dad called and told us he had landed tickets to the Figure Skating Gala on Saturday night. Although we had never expected to go an event we were thrilled to add this to our 'list.' However, it became very clear on Saturday that it was just not meant to be for us. About half an hour before leaving for our event, Sam work up from his nap and it was clear something was not right. Rather than leaving for the event, we left for the ER instead. It was wild because he had been fine in the morning yet the moment he woke up from his nap it was clear he was in terrible pain. Sam ended up having a very nasty yet somewhat common infection and we quickly got him started on antibiotics and worked to keep him as comfortable as possible. It was crazy how the timing of all of this made it so clear that we could not make it to the event. We were sad that we couldn't use the tickets but of course, the little guy was our priority. I guess that is a good example of parenthood...things often don't go as planned and your kiddo needs to come first! Below our the two images of what happened and what could have been.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Is the little guy feeling better?

Poor Sam and poor Mommy and Daddy too. Remember this is how you store up your treasures in heaven!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...

Packing for 2010

We have started collecting our Olympic gear in preparation for our trip up to Vancouver this weekend! The last Olympics we attended were the Calgary '88 games (Drew even preformed in the opening ceremonies) and we can't wait to be back on Canadian soil celebrating the big event again. Even though Sam is too young to really appreciate the Olympics, we are excited to show him the sights and get lots of pictures so he can look back and hear some good stories. At this point, our gear is ready and the funny thing is Sam has the most Olympic stuff out of any of us! Our family has worked hard to make sure that Sam gets a little piece of Canada even though he is not living there. We know that if Sam grows up in the USA, no one will need to teach him to enjoy his country, but since Canada is so much a part of us, we want to make sure he learns about that bit of him too! So in a few days we will head North and cheer for the home team. However, maybe we do need to get a little piec...
