News - Good & Bad

First, the good news...  Today. Teresa went to the potty (pooping!) all on her own, pulled her pants down and didn't say anything until Cara until it was done.  Hurrah!  We had a brutal week on the poop front so this is great news!

Now some humour...  Yesterday's Bizzaro seemed appropriate.  Cara mentioned that she informed Rowdy that her toys were hers and he should not be playing with them.  Sadly Rowdy's comprehension level is a little low and hasn't figured that out.  Also she doesn't make is easy as she plays with her cars on his back.



Unfortunately, literally as this story was happening Cara was on the phone with her mother who informed her that her grandpa Friesen had died at work, likely of a heart attack.  I came home as soon as possible and Cara is off with her sister to Steinbach.  Funeral arrangements aren't set yet, but I am sure the family would appreciate your prayers.  Cara & her sister are quite distraught, as this was unexpected as he seemed in good spirits & health over Thanksgiving, although he has had heart troubles in the past.  I have compiled a few pictures of him & Teresa over the past few years.  Teresa was the only great grandchild he ever got to meet...

Have a good day & keep everyone in your prayers.  Ken
