June 7 to 13, 2006; Chilliwack and Welcome Eliana

JUN 7 to 13; Chilliwack and GREAT GRAND-PARENTS

My first day off, Val did laundry and worked around the yard while I worked on the motorhome washing and organizing.

On Wednesday, we drove to Chilliwack overnight to hopefully witness Grand-Daughter Vanessa’s baby birth due today or Thursday.  We saw Vanessa and Sean Wednesday evening at the Abbotsford hospital and had a nice visit.  She is staying in a very nice and private room with everything at her finger-tip.  We drove back to our hotel with promises to see them tomorrow.

We had breakfast at I Hop restaurant on Thursday, JUNE 9

 then drove to Abbotsford.  We walked in the hospital at 12:11 and that’s when we got the text that Eliana came in to this world this exact time

She is 15 minutes old in this picture!

Rochelle asked us to wait for a while so we had coffee in the cafeteria then went upstairs only to find out that the baby was down at NICU so there was no visiting anymore.  We all left (us, R&K and Hayley).  This is when we found out that Rochelle cut the umbilical cord and Hayley helped in the delivery of the baby under the supervision of the Doctor, of ourse.  What an experience for both of them!!!  We went to Mr MIKE for dinner then we said our goodbyes, drove to Superstore to pick up some groceries and drove back home in Lee Creek.  We got here around 9 pm, made our lunches then went to bed!  Back to work on  Friday to show off our new Great Grand-Daughter!

There was a wedding at the Park on Saturday….Life goes on!!!
