Ouch

Charlotte's ANC count was still not high enough to start but it's at least starting to climb, it was at 0.30 and it needs to be 0.75 to start.  We are scheduled in for next Friday at 9:30am.  She'll have to fast that morning - 9:30 is the latest start we have ever had to do with fasting - not looking forward to trying to distract her from food and drink for that long - hoping it's not a scorcher like it's been.

We have been enjoying the sunny weather and trying not to overheat!  The past couple days we have all been a bit irritable at times, a combination of being sick for Charlotte and the heat and constraints of the bubble for the rest of us. 

Wednesday we went up to Belcarra Park for a dinner picnic.  Charlotte is all about the picnic these days!  We had a lovely meal and a little playtime in the park.

Nathan is everywhere.  I need to find him some knee pads as he is managing to scratch up his legs pretty good with his adventuring!  Here is my little daredevil climbing a slide....  Yep - my 9 month old - climbing slides!

After the picnic we did a little driving to explore beautiful Belcarra as we weren't quite ready to take our babies back home to the (hot) bubble......

Unfortunately this happened - ouch!

We are all okay (or seem it so far).  The kids were pretty scared at first but were able to be calmed down after a couple minutes.  Hopefully it won't be too much trouble to get everything sorted out.  Our car will be in the shop for at least a couple weeks.  We have already been given a rental car, and tomorrow we'll hit costco to replace our car seats.

We have a couple fun things planned over the next week to help us get through another week in the bubble.  We will try to hit Buntzen one day to cool off a bit as well (literally and figuratively).  Hope everyone is getting to enjoy the beautiful weather!

PS - big thanks to Scott Rickard for helping us out with clearing out and trimming of some of the trees in our front yard!
