Abcess makes the Heart grow fonder...

I spent a week away from Dustin in southern Alberta, mending from my lack of gall bladder. Every night we would talk on the phone and I would ask about his patient(s) he had seen that day. At the beginning of the week, he had a guy come in with a messed up mouth. Everything wrong you could think of, this poor sap had. On top of it all, under the crowns Dustin had done, this man's teeth had become infected due to a nasty condition he has. I (incorrectly) assumed these were abcesses and I told Dustin how I missed him and abcess makes the heart grow fonder. While I thought the statement was hilarious, I guess the word 'abcess' is quite serious to a dentist-in-training.

Now that I'm home back to my beloved, and my wonderful computer, I can update you all on some of our summer happ'n'ns. Photographically, of course. We all know my words are a little jumbly-ish.



Our personal photographer, Max snapped this for us on our way up to Waterton. Six years almost to the day we were married here on the hottest day in history.


Max and Herbie


Max's soccer team. Most of the kids on the team were in our ward. Thanks to Karin and Bishop Tucker for coaching!


The baby shower my friend, Lauren threw for me. This was the "bag of flour" made pretty to look like a princess cake. I went into labor the next day. Thanks, L!


Max's first day of school with his best friend.



Sam with a turtle found at our campsite in BC.


Max and friend at head smashed in buffalo jump.



At the top of Bear's hump. Elle at about 3 weeks- tricky business.


Max and Sam overlooking the town for 2 seconds before they were off chasing the squirrels.


Elle's Blessing day. Thanks Grama Wilde for the beautiful dress.

Midnight ramblings at ten pm

I have not had a caffeinated beverage in like, forever. Tonight I thought it would be a good idea to have a pepsi (I know. what???) at 9:00. I have a newborn that will most likely keep me up most of the night. Thank you, pepsi for taking away the few precious moments of rest I may have had in between her wakings. And, thank you brain for telling me: 'you should have a pepsi, you used to LOVE pepsi'
I did love pepsi before I relied so heavily on sleep. I'm going to be a real peach tomorrow. Wanna hang out?
