Well, I was really worried about how the day was going to go today. The girls didn't go to bed until just after 9 pm last night, I am not sure what the problem was, they just didn't want to sleep, or one of them was keeping the other one up? We had to get up at 6:30 this morning in order to get the car to the mechanic on time. We had some brake work, and an oil change done. It is amazing how quickly almost 2 months has flown by! I was really surprised when I realized I already needed another oil change a couple days ago. It really is hard to believe how different life really is compared to two months ago now. Everything seems so distant, it's like it was years ago.

The girls turned out to have a pretty good day today. They were both Daddies girls today, so I was quite happy with that, and Christine I am sure was happy with the bit of a break that it afforded her. Putting the girls to bed tonight was a bit of a challenge though, they were both really tired, which made them very cranky, but I think they will go down quickly.....We have our clinic day tomorrow which means another early morning for the girls, so with any luck at all, they will get a really good rest today, and feel great in the morning. Samantha has another day with Uncle Allan. I always feel bad that Samantha has to go out somewhere while we take Brenn to the clinic. She is always so sad that she has to leave, however she always has a great time with Uncle Allan. I know that a lot of Sams anxiety comes from these days, when she knows that Brenn is in the hospital, and she has to go somewhere else. I know that she knows Brenn in getting needles, and a bunch of procedures done each time, and I am sure she wants to be with Brenn during them, but there is simply no way that we can accommodate Samantha at the hospital beside the fact that they do not allow siblings during procedures.

Our family is getting a lot better at dealing with a lot of these day to day issues, but it is still really hard emotionally when you stop for long enough to think about what Brenn and Samantha are both going through right now. They are such great little girls, that bring so much joy into our lives, and now they are thrown into so much turmoil. We pray everyday that they have a good day, and that they get to do one really fun thing everyday. We really are blessed though that they are such easy girls. We went and bought a little kite today, and tried to fly it on Kits Beach. For the first time since we have been here, there was no wind on the beach, and just a word advice, $6.00 does not get you a very good kite...ours broke after the 5th or 6th try to get it into the air. You win some, you lose some I guess. I am going to try to fix it, but if the material to fix it is more than a couple dollars, it's just not worth it. We had a blast on the beach today anyway, the kids got wet, and had to ride home in their underwear, totally soaked. They had a bath when they got home, dinner, and now bed. Christine is a hot yoga again tonight, and I plan on going for a run when she gets back, then a little time with Christine, and then bed for us to. Good-night
