July 29

Even the most entertaining of plans can be thrown up in the air and lost to the wind… Ken woke up rather sick this not so Sunny Sunday morning. Instead he woke up long enough to take medication and crawl back up into bed. Trinity is on the recovery (she has been sick) and Gavin took his turn with the cold. 

With Daddy napping it was time to hang in the basement

Anyway, plans awry… we were SUPPOSED to have a day of park and beach and picnic with the Novaks but with a sick Ken… no can do. It also was raining in the morning, another sign not going would be best. But still… sad sad Lisa and kids. Especially Zander who wanted to go right over to his godparents’ place and play. 

I am so glad he has found such a love for the family. I honestly wanted to head my way over there too. We are keeping our plans tentative and flexible as Ken still needs to return north to collect the bulk of our things. I do miss my clothes and the precious items we were able to keep when we downsized. Logistics and all that!

Time spent in the sunshine PRE park

So instead we had an abbreviated trip to what is known (by the kids and their cousins) as Rainbow Park. This time it was just myself and Baba as the adults as that is all that will fit in our van with all 5 kids. It was a bit too hot for an ailing Gavin but everyone contrived to have some fun.

Other than that it was a very sedate day for the relatively high pace we have been taking this week. It should pick up in the next few days though. Ken and I still have things to do to set roots down… we tried the county office about homeschooling earlier in the week, but the person in charge of that has not been hired yet??? But it is a start… they have our name and number after all… and Ken is sending out those resumes. So we are moving and shaking and I am sure eventually it will all be a cemented plan… maybe?
