Time with Cullen

The weather continues to hold sunny, breezy and comfortably warm. I've gotten at least one ride in every day while Cullen has his morning nap. Today I did 32km in a long loop.

Cullen is a real entertainer. Most of the time he's happy, smiling and laughing. But then every once in a while he gets mad and his little temper flares. It's hard not to laugh. His vocabulary is growing by the hour. Tonight Mike went through an app with pictures and he tried to repeat many of the words, most he had never tried before. He is the house security guard. Don't leave any of the baby gates open or he's on your case right away, pointing at the gate. Leave a light on and he'll point that out too. Ask him if he wants a cookie and he races to the pantry door where the cookie jar is hiding. Ask him if he wants a bottle and seconds later he's tugging on the fridge door. He seems to understand everything we say to him. When he goes down to bed he rolls around singing happily to himself.

I had a training session online for the new website this afternoon and then Sal and I went to the farmer's market. There were very few people there so we were able to wander around at our leisure. Brandyn called and we Skyped with him about his report card. Once Cullen was in bed we enjoyed cherry pie from the market and played dominoes.

Last night Sal and I went to dinner at Milestones. We made our way to bed bath and beyond after a great meal and then home. With GPS we're game to go just about anywhere.

The big news around Calgary today was that a CPR bridge failed and 5 cars loaded with flammables were in danger of falling into the Bow River. Mel had to detour around the mess and her last commute to her old school was a 2 hour ordeal. It sounds like they have things under control now. The good news is that the highway to Banff is open again.
