Caitlyn @ 5:30

December 1st, 2009 jdjtccom No comments

No real update this time just an expression of gratitude. We have been overwhelmed with expressions of concern and offers of assistance. We appreciate everyone who is praying for Caitlyn, thinking of Caitlyn and offering help. Donna is with Caitlyn in Calgary right now and I’m at home with Tanner. I’m planning on returning to Calgary for the weekend on Friday afternoon.

Caitlyn Tuesday @ 4

December 1st, 2009 jdjtccom No comments

Caitlyn is in Calgary at the childrens hospital. Not much change. They are keeping her still with meds while the medical staff work to fight the pneumonia. Not sure of it is bacterial or viral yet so they are fighting both. It’s amazing to see how the medical staffs in Taber, Lethbridge and Calgary have cared and are caring for Cairlyn.

Another 2.5 k in the pool

July 3rd, 2009 jdjtccom No comments

Gee I like swimming. Did another 100 lengths today. I should really call it 2500 m. I think that sounds more impressive :) Darryl has gone swimming 4 times the week I think and is starting to quite like it. We had a race today and he beat me fair and square. Tanner was in the race, too, and we made him count to 3 before he could start. He beat us easy by a couple of lengths: Tanner is really fast. And that was after having done 100 lengths, too. We gave Taylor a 3 second headstart and I think she still beat me. I’m resigned to the fact that I’m not fast but I can swim a whole lot of lengths. I love swimming with Tanner.

We hope to go to the gym later this morning and then maybe I’ll do a quick bike ride.

Make it a good day.

Red Rock Canyon Ride

July 3rd, 2009 jdjtccom No comments

Wow! What a beautiful ride we went on yesterday. We left the campground around 9ish and returned 2 1/2 glorious hours later. I had never ridden up to Red Rock before on the bike and it was a great ride. Although it didn’t seem like it, we were climbing much of the way. It felt more like lots of rolling hills. coming back, though, we had to pedal up a couple hills but for the most part we were coasting the whole way. Bob and had met Matt and Lyndsay in their campground who are on a racing team in Calgary and so he invited them to join us. They are a great couple and great bikers. However, …, on the downhills Bob and I were signficantly faster. I’m not sure if Lyndsay liked the high speed downhills. Of course Bob and I probably outweighed them by 50+ pounds so our superior training (i.e. eating) helped out. Another “however” was that on the uphills Lyndsay made us look like we were standing still; she was a fantastic climber. Matt seemed to go as fast as he figured he needed. I’d like to see him riding all out; great cyclist.

After the ride Bob took Trish, Leah and I out to Pearls for wraps and cinnamon buns. It was a great restaurant – one of the best in Waterton. All in all it was a great day. When I got home we fixed up the pool and then I had band practice. I like Thursdays.

Make it a glorious day.
