After the pneumonia, and the cold and all the other stuff had finally subsided... Rya and Grandma and I went to Calgary. We have some family there that still hadnt met Rya yet... and were starting to lose patience waiting for her visit.
It was so great to have Rya meet her two Great Grandmothers, it was also a bonus because they live down the hall from eachother at Trinity Lodge. My Gra'mere was a little put off as Rya was in a bit of a "mood" at first but she warmed up pretty quiclkly. Rya has offically been labled the Cutest Great Grandchild on the Spear side. (this title will hold up until some competition arrives.... Malcolm... Jenn...)
Then we saw Great Grandma Sylvia. Rya is her 6th Great Grand child but just as special as the first. We all went down to the dining hall for lunch and Rya was the cutest "Boy" all the residents had ever seen! We are ok with that. Mary was such a big help to me with Rya.
My cousins, Mary Peter and John I think were the most looking forward to her arrival.
I was so surprized to see how much the kids had grown since I saw them last. They were pretty suprized to see there new little... "Cousin once removed"?... We decided that they could just be cousins proper... you can't have too many cousins. Though Mary would rather be Rya's sister. That can be arranged.
The twins Peter and John are nearly taller than Mary and the tallest in their class. "I can't tell the difference, can you tell the difference?" (well actually I can... Peter is the one on the right... I will probably get an email from their mother saying thats John... sigh)
It was a great trip to Calgary but we were sure glad to get home to Richard. And I am pretty sure he was glad to have us home too!
