We went away and came back again and then sank into our day to day routine hoping that someone else would blog the events of the last couple of weeks but alas the elves aren't working here anymore so I'll do it...
Utah was a great trip despite intestinal distress on my part. We still did a little light hiking and slept in TWO mornings in a row...amazing... and thanks of course to John and Vicki for taking care of fiona and our friends Dan and Justine for getting married so we had the excuse to get away. It was as I mentioned a lovely trip, we floated in the great salt lake, which I recommend but it did involve a few---trillion---flies. It snowed and hailed and there were quite a few rainbows. We both miss the mountains but are also pretty fond of the ocean so what are we to do?
Devon did get to do his offshore sailing trip. 30 miles out to sea to see if there were tuna....not this time but he has aspirations to go again and to go further. I am content to catch halibut at the mile buoy.
Fiona is continuing with her swimming. And recently added a pair of goggles to her collection of stuff. For the longest time she kept her eyes closed even with the goggles on but has finally discovered that you can see things in the water and is a fan of eyes open now. Last week she swam the length of the pool, perhaps 40 feet with a few otter rolls on the way. It is so wonderful to see her learning and enjoying. She is still currently obsessed with horses...NEIGH!!!
I have started to work in the Critical Care Unit at my hospital. A new job that reminds me how much I have to learn. I'm getting the hang of a different routine though and it is a bit less physical than the previous ward I was on, so that is a nice break.
We're looking forward to having Nanna Jane here in a month so that devon and I can go on another trip. This time down the Grand Canyon. Life is crazy but good and we are all happy and healthy and hope you are too.
Love
Louise
