Weekend vacation

We had a nice weekend vacation, right here in Winnipeg.  Since we had two weddings to attend at the same hotel, we decided to book a room and have some fun.  Ashley, our respite worker, was able to stay at the house with Hope.

Brodie and Mira were both very excited about the pool.  Mira went crazy with the splashing.  Remember how much she likes to slap at things?  Well, she likes to splash even more...


Then we got ready for the wedding... 


We were at the church early because Alex had a pre-ceremony job at the church.  Brodie did a great job entertaining Mira...


It was so good to have some fun away from home, play a bit, enjoy some good visits with friends and family, and have a break from meal planning/preparation.  Unfortunately, Hope did not do so well.  She has been having fevers on and off.  She has had only one, hardly wet, diaper per day over the last three days.  Today we cancelled plans and sat with her.  I watched her fingers turn blue and her breathing become more and more laboured.  Then I took her outside for some cuddles, and by the time I brought her back inside, she was looking better.  In fact, right now she has perked up, is looking around and making some little cute noises.  Her color has returned to pink.  She's still coughing a lot. 


We'll see what tommorrow brings.

Good picture of Mira enjoying the water - and your luggage apparently! Too cute. I guess you'll just have to spend a bit of time outside with Hope if it seems to help her - good job we're not in the middle of winter. That was a pretty scary read and I'm sure even more so for you while you're living it daily.
