I received Joyce and Vince’s save the date today.  I was talking to Dave about the possibility of us going.  Just talking.  Then I asked Brandon if he wanted to see the Eiffel Tower.  He said, “Yea.”  Then he finished eating his ravoli, and said, “Put the shoes on.”  Dave started laughing and told him we weren’t going to see There can be a lot of reasons that can make these jellies take a position out from the rest of the forms of wholesale tadalafil are.Simple method of administration- if a man is on a tablet, he needs to make sure that he is getting the recommended daily allowance of generic cialiss and products should be taken just one hour or 30 minutes prior an intercourse activity Take only one.

“I have that one.  Aquarium.”  Brandon opened up a catalog of trains and started pointing out ones that he has.  I asked him, “Who got you that one?”  “Grandma.”  Of course, she did.  It was one of his open-one-new-thing-everyday-toy.  He still has some residual verbal diarrhea, where he’ll start out saying something, then just trail off in nothing that makes sense.  He noticed in my car today that there was no Thomas, like in Grandma’s car.  My mom said he was always conscientious and make sure she “close[d] it” (meaning the TV screen) whenever they left the car. 

The source of the pink eye – DAYCARE.  I don’t know how it skipped a generation (Brandon), but there was a notice up at school today that indicated a direct exposure two days before I came down with it.  Luckily Brandon never got it, but it was weird that I did.  I asked school how the transition was back to school. The teacher said he was sad, he would just start crying suddenly.  He really had a lot of fun last week, and it must have made him sad when he stopped long enough to think about it.  Poor baby. 

He got so used to calling “Grandma” he’s been calling me Grandma.  Kind of like an old lady cycles through her kids’ names before getting the right one.  “Grandma, Mommy pick you up.”  Or it’s, “Grandma go, Mommy go get it.”

My mom was telling me that she told Brandon they would go see Bonnie, my mom’s friend.  Brandon said, “Auntie Bonnie?”  My mom, knowing it wasn’t the same Auntie Bonnie told him, “No, this is Grandma’s friend, Bonnie.”  When I heard that, I had to call Bonnie (my friend from work) and tell her all about it, it was so funny that she is the only Bonnie that Brandon knows. 

Lastly, the return of “mum-mum.”  Brandon doesn’t miss a beat.  It was the first thing he asked for this morning.  He asked my mom several times, but it literally was the first thing he said when he saw me.  I quickly changed the subject, changed his clothes and asked what he wanted for breakfast.  He was a little sluggish getting up, who would blame him, he was all nice and warm, and my hands were like ice blocks.  Now I can safely say there will be no more mum-mum.  We have a pacifier close by if he really needs it.  The pacifier has actually helped his owie on his nose heal.  He picks at it when he sucks his thumb, but when he’s on the pacifier, he doesn’t.  Go figure.

Why do they have to be so mean?  I guess they are disgruntled as much as the next federal employee.  We didn’t really have any trouble going to Canada, but coming back, there were two agents, servicing a line of about 4 of us.  We had our passports and travel documents in a ziploc bag, separated from our luggage.  We had already had it out previously, but wanted to keep everything organized to avoid dropping the ever-important items.  So we rolled up to the guy, the old one of course; I knew it would be trouble going to the old guy.  The younger guy looked a little more friendly.  So Dave is opening up the ziploc in front of him and the guy is waving his arms around, sighing and then started with the rude comments.  “Take your time, folks.  I’m sure the people behind you don’t mind.”  And we got out the passports.  “I need your boarding passes now.  You should have been doing this in line.”  (There was only one other person ahead of us in line when we walked up.)  Then he asked why we were in Canada.  Dave said for a conference in Banff.  Then the guy Sometimes when he does doctors are unable to help. viagra online prescription So, it is better to take a pill of this and then you are good to go!

Earlier in the day, I had called Brandon from the pay phone at the airport.  They were at my grandma’s house, having just arrived from the drive down from Auburn.  I heard him say a distinct, “No!” after being asked if he wanted to speak to mommy on the phone.  Had he forgotten about me?  Had we been gone too long?  Then I heard him say, “Mommy/Daddy” in reference to us from a family picture.  He was too excited to see Uncle Gary, even for only a few minutes before he had to leave for work.

After travelling much of the day, we finally got home around 9pm. I walked into the house, into my parents’ room; both mom and dad were in the bed, while Brandon was playing off to the side, I barely saw him, my mom had to motion to me that he was there.  He was shuffling three of my senior portraits, ancient history to him.  He finally looked up, realized who I was, then came running on his tippy toes, with his arms outstretched to give me the biggest little bear hug ever!  Awww, my baby hadn’t forgotten me!  He still loves me!  It took Dave a few minutes to take his boots off and come into the room.  Brandon saw Dave and gave him the same warm reception.  My mom was trying to prompt him to tell us all about his week-long adventures.  “Who’s Tony?” “Horsey.”  “What about Tammy?”  “Another horsey.”  Then Mathilda, the hen, who gave him an egg and a “lemon”.  Well, the hen didn’t really give him a lemon, but he knows that he came away from the farm with a lemon. Then I asked him who cut his hair.  He said, “I hold a helicopter,” with his arms held out wide.  I didn’t understand what he was talking about, so my mom help interpret.  He held a helicopter at the barber shop.  Then he exclaimed, “A t-t-t-toy!” and he had this strange look in his eye.  One eye was bigger than the other, and he was flapping his arms, palms up so excited.  My mom said there was a toy there, but it belonged at the barber’s, so he couldn’t take it with him.  Then he just sat down on my lap, and tried to explain the rest of his week, all the while giving me big hugs.  When it was time to go, I told him, “Say, ‘thank you to grandma for taking care of me'”.  He said, “Thank you, care me.”  My mom got the gist of it.  When I was settling him into the car seat, I told him that I’d drive the big car and Daddy would follow behind us.  He looked worried, “Dark, dark.”  I told him not to be scared, gave him his Thomas pillow and a blanket.  “Scary,” and then he whined a little, and had a nervous little laugh.  He had tucked his hands into the sides of the carseat.  I thought it might not be comfy for him, so I tried to lift his hands over the pillow.  Most of the time he doesn’t like his hands to be confined.  But I guess he was trying to hide or keep his hands warm because he resisted.  So I bundled the blanket above the pillow, and he was in a little cocoon.  I told him we’d be going on the freeway in a little bit, but that Daddy was right behind us and would keep us safe.  So we set out, and all I did was talk him right to sleep.  Dave would be so proud that my incessant talking would be used for good!  I asked him all about his week, tried to fill in from what I had already known from my mom.  He later said Mathilda was a “dog, a big dog.”  But my mom had said she was a hen.  Maybe he was confusing the name with my mom’s friend, Bonnie, who had a dog, Meggy.  I told him I turned on my lights, he asked “light in the car?”  I told him we couldn’t do that because it was too distracting for other drivers, but that the outside lights were on, and that Daddy also had his outside lights on.  He couldn’t really see well over the tower of the pillow/blanket combo, so that was helpful.  I told him we were going home, to which he repeat, “Go home,” and when we got there we could go to sleep on mommy/daddy’s bed.  He liked that idea and said, “I sleep on Mommy/Daddy bed.”  We had been trying to get him to sleep in his own bed, but without him for a week, I couldn’t do that to him.

Before we even got to the freeway, I realized I was talking to myself.  Brandon was out cold.  He woke up just long enough to pick up his head on the transfer from car to home, but remains asleep.  Back to the grind tomorrow morning! 

I love them.  There are at least two couples getting married at our hotel this weekend.  There was a couple yesterday taking pictures, not sure if they were just taking pictures or actually got married then.  It is a beautiful setting, but I’m not sure I can pull off a strapless dress in near freezing temperatures.  When we got back home from Lake Louise today, one of the wedding parties was lined up on the stairs at the front of the hotel.  The hotel was a perfect backdrop as the stairs on both sides cascaded down.  I even took a picture.  pharmacy viagra However, erectile problems can be extremely frustrating for both partners. sildenafil 100mg canada IVF treatment or a test tube baby is simple, safe and dependable. It is not a serious problem sildenafil for sale if treated at the initial stage. soft tabs viagra So before altering they will read rel=”nofollow” and afterwards they will read rel=”external”. Is that weird?  Dave thinks so.  I just wanted to capture the moment.  Dave said he would definitely come up here to get married.  So the next time he gets married, it’s going to be up here.  He can only invite a small number of people, since there is only room for about 100 people.  There were other ballrooms which were equally striking, however Dave likes this one particular room because it reminds him of the Haunted Mansion scene where the ghosts are dancing around in the dining hall.  The tour guide likened it to the Harry Potter grand hall. 

Right before we left, Brandon had a bout of verbal diarrhea.  He would start off making sense, then just trail off in nonsense.  Something like, “It’s over there, around and around and around, that way,” and then a bunch of sound that we couldn’t figure out would then be released.  We had to laugh, there was just no explanation for it.  So now when we talk with each away from him, we have adopted his lingo.  I just talked to my mom who will be driving back with Brandon tomorrow.  She says he is now speaking full sentences (he was doing that before we left); he was playing with Drew, a 6-year-old, much of yesterday.   She said he ate more than Drew did (they were eating pizza, so that is no big surprise), and he was copying everything Drew did.  She was worried that Drew wouldn’t want a little runt hanging around him, but since Drew has no siblings, Brandon was his little bro for a few hours.  I had a chance to speak with Brandon tonight, only after all of them that were there had to coax him to come talk to me 🙁  .  Finally he came over and said, “Hi, Mommy.  I eating peanuts.”  Then he said, “I eating pizza,” thus narcing on my mom.  Then it was, “night-night,” because he wanted to get back to what he was doing.  My mom said he had found a “hard” puzzle and she had to wait until the reinforcements got there before Brandon could get help.  I asked her how many pieces constitutes “hard”; she said there were at least 40 pieces.  Once they put it back together, she is going to really hide it.  Oh my.  So we get to see him tomorrow, newly shorn.  My mom took him to a real barber, who was so old, he had to wait for a younger counterpart to tackle the daunting task of cutting a toddler’s hair.  Our trip is coming to a close; Dave took another shot at snowboarding, while I hung out at the lodge.  I figured I had escaped injury earlier in the week, I didn’t want to push my luck.  He felt the same after he almost ate it on his last run, thus making it his last run.  Other conference attendees did not fair as well.  One guy behind us at dinner had his hand casted, and another woman was on crutches.  I’m pretty sure both of them were not in either state coming to the conference. 

We saw Lake Louise after the slopes.  I had been in summertime, when there was an actual lake.  Today, it was frozen over and Dave and Hong ventured out into the middle.  I was chicken and said on terra firma, ready to summon for help should they fall through the frozen ice.  There didn’t seem like much of a chance of that, there were plenty of people around on the ice.  There was a sign indicating “thin ice” where the water was peaking through closer to shore.  Again, along the lines of escaping injury thus far, I decided against joining them.

We’re off to explore Waldhaus, and it’s nighttime ice rink.  Then tomorrow we will head out to Calgary and then fly home. 

I love massages.  Maybe because I work at the computer most of the day and when I am not, I’m either blogging or carrying around a 30-pound toddler.  I feel it most in the shoulders and that is always what I describe to the masseuse as my “trouble spot.”  But with the boarding and all, I feel like the “spot” has widened to encompass my entire body.  Nevertheless, when filling out the form, I indicated the shoulder area as the focus.  She asked me if I was comfortable with the pressure she was applying.  I told her to pressure-on, that I could take it.  This resulting in such force that my face was pressed into the ring.  This was fine for the first half an hour probably, but then my nose started stuffing up.  Maybe too much pressure on the sinuses, not sure.  Then after awhile, one side started running.  Oh no!  Luckily, there was an area that I put my arms, so if I dripped, it would go there.  When she flipped me over, the nose stopped running.  That’s when I was primed for the invigorating scalp treatment, which consists of pouring hot oil into the scalp and hair.  This was an add-on that I debated whether or not The causes of this type are not exact known, buy tadalafil 20mg that’s why most of patients have no best cure for treating this disease.

Last night, I checked in with my mom who told me Brandon wanted to sleep on the floor in the living room.  He had been sleeping in my mom’s bed in the evenings and upstairs during the day since it was darker.  But last night, when the lights were turned off, she set the alarm in her room.  She had been doing it in another room, so this was new for Brandon.  The backlight on the alarm illuminated the room for a second, after which Brandon started to whine.  My mom told him it would turn off in just a second, but it was too late.  The damage had already been done; not sure if Brandon thought there were aliens about to land and my mom gave them Men’s body goes into levitra price regular physical reaction due to the boost blood flow in the penis.

Usually when we go to crowded places on travel, we tell each other the first person to see someone they know gets a dollar from the other.  It works best at Disneyland or somewhere else closer to home.  But after lunch today, I turned around to get my coat and the table behind us had already left.  That left a clear path to see – Sandy!  My ex-coworker, who has not been at work in awhile due to a shoulder injury, was having lunch two tables over!  I called out her name to make sure it was her; she looked up and I ran over to give her a hug.  I told her that we had to come all the way up to Canada to see each other since she has been off work!  We caught up a little bit; turns out they are staying at our same hotel, but will be leaving for Lake Louise shortly.  I finally got to meet her husband, Doug.  We let them return to lunch while we headed out to explore so more.  So I should get Dave to pay me a Canadian dollar since it can be stretched further than a US dollar. 

To catch up, last night’s dinner was yummy.  We went to a fondue place and had a four course meal.  We had a salad to start (the waiter said we should get the salad over the soup since that would be our only vegetable), then a cheese fondue with bread cubes, we each picked a different variety of meat, and then fruit dipped in a chocolate fondue.  The meat consisted of beef, ahi tuna, scallops and lobster.  Since we all ordered together, we decided to try a bunch of different meats.  We weren’t daring enough to try the venison, caribou, elk, alligator, frog legs, or ostrich.  We were offered the meat to either be cooked with hot oil or on a hot stone rock.  We chose the healthier option and cooked it on a granite rock that had been heated to 650 degrees.  It at first seemed like a small portion of meat, but by the time we had finished all four courses, we were satisfied.

Today I’m looking forward to my massage.  I’m still really sore from boarding, so hopefully this will help with that.  I just took a tour of the castle here; pretty interesting history.  Our tour guide was also named Dave.  I tried to take a picture of Dave’s poster, as it was hung up already, and the tour ended right there, but some other researcher pointed out the sign that said, “No photography allowed.”  Oh well, I should have told him that I would just wait until my husband brought it back to the room then.  But I just casually left, a little disappointed that I couldn’t show Dave what a striking picture I had taken of his poster. 

We took snowboarding lessons yesterday.  It was an all-day lesson which included lunch!  It wasn’t just any ski-lunch, it was a buffet with plenty of salads, pasta and a roast beef carving station.  Definitely the best ski-lunch I’ve ever had.  Usually it’s just chili or a hamburger, something quick.  Back to the snowboarding.  We debated whether we wanted to ski or board.  Most everyone else we know made the switch years ago.  We held off this long, but now that Brandon may be on the slopes in the next year or so, Dave doesn’t want to worry about lugging around skis, poles, and wear uncomfortable boots.  So we signed up for the lessons.  We were debating which level we were best suited; it was between once or twice or green runners.  Once or twice was just that, but we were figuring since we had been before, had been comfortable with the slopes, chairlift, etc, and the fact that the girl signing us up encouraged us, we did the green runners.  But when we were with the instructors, they told us the green runners could comfortably make toe and heel turns.  Hmm…I think we were misplaced.  There were only 3 of us, which made it nice.  The instructor just wanted us to take a run and see what would happen and if needed, send us to the right class.  So we went up, got off the lift, strapped in and he told us to do whatever we would do if he weren’t there.  So I fell.  And fell again.  Then managed to get up, and slowly made my way down the hill.  At the bottom, he said it would probably be best if we started with the once or twice class, to feel more comfortable.  I haven’t been in ski (or any kind of) school in almost 30 years!  So it was strange to be in a class.  I didn’t want to hold back the other kid that was in our group; it turned out that he was better suited to the class above the green runners anyways.  So after a little more shuffling, we ended up three of us with Dolors.  She explained things really well and made the day great!  I went from falling and not knowing how to get down the hill, to actually making WIDE turns and finally feeling comfortable on my toes by the end of the day.  I took a few hard falls; good thing I was wearing my helmet, but I enjoyed myself.  I was only wearing 2 layers and my jacket!  That’s less than when we go to Tahoe.  I’m not sure if it was because the weather was just so nice, it was in the 40’s, or if I was just working so hard getting myself upright on the board (most likely the latter).  I had such a good workout!  I really did learn more in the first few runs that I had the entire first day that Dave and I tried to teach ourselves. 

Today, my body is revolting.  I’m so sore, I couldn’t even sleep last night.  This is what I remember from the first time we went boarding.  My arms, abs, everything go a workout!  It’s amazing.

We checked in with my mom last night after we got back from dinner around 930pm our time, 830pm at home.  Brandon was already sleeping because he was so worn out from the days’ events.  They went to a farm somewhere close to Auburn.  The lady at the farm asked Brandon if he wanted to go on a horse.  He was with my mom, then jumped into her arms when she asked him.  He was up on a 40-year old horse, so it didn’t move real fast.  He was scared at first, then got more comfortable.  He then saw another, younger horse, and wanted to ride that one.  The lady made him stay either with my mom or herself because that horse was not safe to ride.  My mom didn’t take a picture of him on the horse!  I would have loved to see it.  He also found a pile of sand and started throwing it around.  Then she said he climbed up the pile and slid down.  Too funny.  I was telling my mom I didn’t want him touching any of the animals, just paranoid about all the diseases he could contract from them, bird flu and whatnot.  My mom did wash his hands as soon as they got back to the car.  While I didn’t get to talk with him yesterday, at least he had a good time and was pooped.
