37 weeks - Stampede time YA-HOO!


Cara had a very busy week with lots of visiting, meeting new people, experiencing Stampede, and welcoming a new member of the family to the brood. Last weekend was full of visiting and meeting her extended family at Nana's wedding to Howie - now Cara is a very lucky little girl with a Nanny, a Papa, a Grampy, a Nana and a Howie! Lots of people to love and to love her back :) Cara was very well behaved throughout the day and night!

The next day we went to the Calgary Stampede with Aunt Sarah, Aunt Deborah, Uncle Jason and Isaac & Maggie. It was the wettest day the Stampede has had in a long time! It poured rain most of the day - luckily we were watching the Rodeo from the covered part of the Grandstand so we stayed relatively dry. We had enough dry time to walk around the grounds and get some cotton candy :) We had a great time and Cara did too!

All of this activity really screwed up Cara's sleep schedule (not that it was very strict!) and now she is sleeping in until 10am and staying up until 11pm!!! So we are working at getting that back to "normal". I'm sure she'll be back on normal time just in time for our trip East where she will experience jet lag and get really messed up!!! No matter though we are looking forward to the trip :)
