We had a great long weekend full of family and fun! Saturday Cousin Mandy and her family along with Auntie Audrey and Uncle Derek came out! It was great to see them all again and chat...they are so great! It is just too bad that we don't get to see them more. I was glad that Mandie finally met Linden. I feel like she knows him though, through the world of facebook!!!!
Sunday we had a family BBQ for Sarah in the afternoon. Sarah is such a great girl! She just fits so well with our family :) We had a very relaxed birthday party, then it was off home for a family BBQ. I hadn't seen "the gang" in a while and it was nice to have them all over again...like the good old days...when hockey was still on!!!! haha. Both the girls are getting bigger as their beautiful babies are growing inside them. I'm so excited for the new additions to our group!!!! I know they will be adorable and I can't wait to meet them. It is such an amazing time in your life when you are carrying a child. Yes there are many uncomfortable, painful, and annoying things, but I think generally we just remember the good things like: hiccups, kicks, turns, heart beats, and high fives :) I'm excited for Mary and Glenda.
Today we went to the park in the morning with Nana (we had to soak up every last minute with her before their trip). The Delair park was the choice today and it was great! Small and empty!!! I like that. In the afternoon we went to the agrifair with Oma. I can tell that Linden misses her. He was so excited to have her come over. He wanted to show her all his toys...I think he would have been just as happy to have played with her all afternoon! Although the agrifair wasn't stellar, I found it fun. We saw some animals, which Linden enjoyed and watched a little show. It was just enough. Too bad it was so hot and muggy...I don't do well in the heat...I need some water to cool off with when it is that hot! This evening my family was over for pulled pork...MMMMMM my new easy favourite! It was nice to have the whole family over here. Linden was going CRAZY running in circles and dancing and just having a good old time! He crashed pretty much right when I put him to bed!!! haha I think Hudson had fun too with all the new toys he could explore!!! Then it was off to water flowers and walk the dog...now I'm waiting to see James :)
I think the thing that made this weekend so wonderful was that we were able to see James for large chunks of time!!! How marvelous it is to see your hubby and daddy! It starts to feel more like our "normal" life....I hope the extreme busyness will be over with and we can start to see James more and go on little outings as a family! Here's hoping!!!
We had a great time - thanks for having us over :)
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time seeing you again and meeting Linden and Hudson! Yes, I realize this comment is a bit late. We've been back home for a week, but it's been a very busy week, even though the kids aren't here. We have, however, thoroughly enjoyed our time "off," and I know that Nana and Poppy and Tutu and Pupa really enjoyed/are currently enjoying their time with the boys.
ReplyDeleteI thought of both you and Lyra last night. I know the boys are still a little too young, but Tim took me to the last remaining drive-in theatre in Oregon. It was just so much fun and a blast from the past. It was great seeing all the little kiddos running around in their jammies. It might be something to think about when the boys get a bit older - if you have a drive-in up there.
