some of the weekend.

Erik and I had an all-too-brief visit home last weekend. It was a short one, but it was a good one. We managed to squeeze a lot into the three days we were gone.

It was interesting to see Erik interacting with his old high school friends, former teachers, and other members of his community. Many of them he hadn't seen since graduating eight years ago. He was a little social butterfly at the funeral and I watched contently as he reacquainted himself with everyone. It was obvious that he was (and is) well loved. 

On the way home (Kelowna) from my in-laws we stopped in to see the Reimers so I could meet little Halle Grace.  And to see Stewart, Charisa and Micah... of course.

But Miss Halle was undoubtedly the main event.  She was adorable -- so tiny (though much bigger than when she was born) and so perfect. She was even awake for most of our visit.

And Mr Micah, her older brother, was as cute as ever. He has grown so much since I last saw him! He adored the camera though taking photos of almost-two-year-olds is always a challenge oddly enough. I ended up with many blurry photos. He is such a doting big brother and he was so gentle with little Halle. Very sweet.

And Stewart and Charisa? They were lovely as well. It's always good to visit with friends though I wish we had more time. There's never enough time.

After our visit with the Reimer's we went out for dinner with my brother, SIL and cousin. Again, the visit was much too short. We had to head home to Kelowna that night so we were in a bit of a hurry. It was fun, none-the-less.

And this week I have been working. from 11pm to 7am. Gross. I worked Monday and Tuesday and now I have Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Going to work at 11pm is bizarre. Sometimes I go to bed at 8:00pm and sleep until 10:00pm before my shift. And then my patients are often sleeping when I get to work so I sometimes don't meet them until I am either waking them up at 2am to do vitals or until 6am when I am doing vitals, giving meds, or doing a quick assessment. The benefit of working from 11pm-7am is that I actually get to see Erik after work. My shift from 7pm-7am doesn't leave much time for us to hang out.

That's about all for now. Have a good weekend.
