An Alberta Visitor!

Last weekend we had my cousin Christine Wolinski visit us from Sherwood Park, AB! Parker received lots of snuggles from his Aunty Chris and as usual Chris and I chatted non-stop. We had lots of fun but next visit must include Ted, and the three munchkins: Steven, Isabelle and Daniel.

Yesterday Parker had his weekly visit to the hospital for his foot. X-rays were done on both his feet and Dr. O'Farrell is happy with the progress. Parker will continue to be cast free for another 2 weeks! Yippee!

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Update

Hi! Here is a picture of Trouble. He is the monkey that lives at the orphanage with James. I can't wait to meet my big brother and dad says it should be soon. Mom says we have to be patient. By the way my foot is almost healed and so I am cast free this week! Mom and Dad have to exercise my foot everyday (which I don't like at all!) but I do like taking baths! So fun! Have a good day everyone!

Hugs and kisses,

Parker

PS - I am now weighing in at 11.5 lbs!

Date Night!

As many of you know the Epp's have a tradition of going to a movie every Friday night so when Aunty Monique offered to babysit Parker we took her up on it. On Saturday night we dropped Parker off at Aunty's and we went out and enjoyed a great dinner and a movie. When we returned we were surprise to hear that our muchkin did strange the whole evening while we were gone: quivering his lower lip and not wanting to be snuggled. Here we brag (continuously!) how good he is and then he does the opposite. But Aunty, being gracious and patient as she is, said she'd babysit again! I just hope next time Parker wears his angel wings and halo!

The Bucket!

Last night, to remove Parker's plaster cast we decided to use a bucket! Filling the bucket with water and vinegar Michael held him for 30 min and Parker slept through it! This was much more successful than last week where we had him soak in the tub for 40 min and he had cried through the whole thing! Today he got his new cast (No. 3) put on. It takes Dr. O'Farrell about 5 to 7 minutes to put the cast on as Parker screams through it! Parker is quite well known when we walk back into the waiting room!
