A gorgeous day

While Josiah went for a walk with his nurses (one nurse is shadowing the other one), Graham, Isaac, and I went to the City of Waterloo's Service Centre Open House.  What a great event!  You get to see the city's big trucks, excavators, dump trucks, a fire truck and a lots of other vehicles and equipment.  You are also allowed to get on them and in many cases you can go for a ride in them.  There was also a petting zoo, face painting, and free popcorn.  We saw one of our nurses there with his children as well as a family from our church. 

I think Isaac's favourite part may have been the balloon and the popcorn.  The horn on some of the trucks is very loud and Isaac is not a fan of loud noises.  I asked him a few too many times if he'd like to go on one of the trucks with Daddy.  He started crying loudly so I assured him he didn't need to go on any of the trucks.  He was glad to see the trucks though.  Actually, the one thing he asked to go in was the Jumpy Castle but I watched the children in there and knew he wouldn't last for more than a moment.  It was lovely to have some special time with Isaac and it was a gorgeous day to be outside. 

Graham and I were able to have a nap in the afternoon while Isaac napped.  We went out after supper.  Isaac received a "parachute man" at the carnival last week so he and Graham went and tried it out. 

A couple of nurses have commented that Josiah seems to be sleeping more. 

Isaac was telling me today at different times that his teeth were singing or his back was singing as he was moving those body parts.  He makes us laugh every day. 

Thanks so much for your prayers!

Blessings,

Tonight's discovery: Josiah likes tickles on his back

For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.
