Update

Hi!

Things are going pretty well in the Compagnon Stanley household. Ian is back to work. He landed a great job as Operations Manager for an Oakville hardwood company. It seems to be a step in the right direction on all fronts (more responsibility, closer to home, he likes the industry better etc.) so fingers crossed that it will work out well in the long run. I can't believe that my mat. leave is half over... WOW, how time flies. Eli continues to hit milestones on time and is now a whopping 22lbs at 5 1/2 months old. I started him on cereal a couple of weeks early (I wasn't going to start until he was 6 months old) because I was having a hard time keeping up with his hunger with just nursing him. After 3 mornings of cereal he stopped pooping (5 days ago) and his Ped. advised me yesterday to stop the cereal and give him prunes instead. Well, we are on our second morning of prunes with still "no activity". I know one thing for sure... It's not going to be pretty when things finally get moving! I continue to work on Grace's golf tourney in every free moment. It's heart wrenching and therapeutic at the same time. It helps that friends have been so supportive securing prizes and committing to foursomes. We still have 6 foursomes available to sell out the course so please contact me if you are interested in golfing (lcompagnon@cogeco.ca). The prize table is going to be impressive and it should be a fun, successful day. Ian and I are doing Meagan's Walk on Mother's Day. It is a 5km walk from Ontario Place to the Hospital for Sick Children in support of Paediatric Brain Tumour Research. If you are interested in celebrating Mother's Day in this special way go to www.meaganswalk.com for more info. It will be three years ago this Mother's Day that Grace suffered from her first seizure. I'll never forget how quickly life can be turned upside down.

Mama misses you baby...
