Trevor's parents and grandparents graced us with their presence over the weekend... It's been a long time since we've seen them and the kids were especially thrilled that they were here. I'll just tell the story through photographs, if you don't mind!
First off, I just wanted to show off this pic of Sam. It's not very often that Sam is still and quiet, so I had to snap a pic to remember this moment by ;)
Saturday morning, we woke up to snow. Let me explain to you my state of mind when I saw the snow. I hadn't slept more than 2 hours for the 2nd night in a row, so I was tired. I had agreed to be a part of a health study for the government of Alberta, so I was fasting for blood work... This means no coffee. I am a self professed coffee-holic. My children know to give me a wide berth until I've polished off at least one cup. So, you can imagine my mood... Not pleasant. And to top it off, I felt like I had to fake it for the sake of the inlaws.
Saturday afternoon, we headed up to the leisure center to go swimming. Grandma Helen and Grandpa Gerald sat and watched and snapped a few pics for us.
After swimming, we rushed home to finish up dinner. I made pork ribs in the slow cooker and they were amazing! Here's Sam helping himself to a spoonful of sour cream... Gross!
Since the boys have had so much trouble with ear infections, Grandma Val decided to blow them dry... Here's Sam and Grandma blowing each other's hair...
And some other miscellaneous photos of the kids with their grandparents and great-grandparents. Sam loved trying Great-Grandpa's hat on everyone's heads and Eli stole Great-Grandpa's slippers. They had a blast with everyone!

That Health Study I did was actually kind of interesting for me. They check your blood pressure 6 times and then take an average. They do blood work to check for diabetes and cholesterol and then measure your waist, hips, weight, height and calculate your B.M.I. My blood pressure was very low... Almost too low! My average was 88/54... normal is 120/80! Not surprisingly, my Body Mass Index was on the low side of healthy... 19.5, with healthy being between 18.5 and 24.9. Fascinating for me to get measurements done by a nurse because it shows me how many inches I've been able to lose in the last year! Yay Me! LOL!
