The time certainly seems to be passing by quickly, one week has gone by already. The weather has been pretty good with a bit of rain on Friday and more rain on Sunday but the temperature is high 70’s, low 80’s, so perfect for our liking! We have been taking a lot of walks around the place we are staying and the kids are loving the playgrounds they have. Annika and I had an unfortunate accident at the playground the other day though and it bothered me for days after. I was carrying Annika and had my sandals on and I wasn’t watching my footing and I thought I was on the narrow sidewalk around the playground but my foot went over the edge and down I went with Annika in my arms. It happened so fast I couldn’t do anything and Annika fell flat on her back and her head thudded on the concrete; the sound to me was deafening and I was so afraid that she had fractured her skull. Of course neither Breanne or I slept that night worrying about Annika but as it turned out, she must have a pretty hard head as she has had no residual effects from the fall other than a bad scrap on her elbow and I twisted my knee but it seems to be on the mend now. So, note to Janet, she never ever carries the children while she is walking! If anything had happened to Annika due to that fall, I would never had got over it.
Brian has been getting back to his training although he is finding it quite difficult especially with the running. He has gained weight though since the chemo, so it is going to take him a while to feel good when running again. I keep telling him to just take baby steps, it will come back soon as he already has a good base.
Yesterday, we went to Orange Lake, River Island which has a great play area for the kids as well as a lazy river. We had a lot of fun there and here is a video that Breanne put together which is also on her blog. I will update later this week.
