Magda Anna and myself decided to drive up to Vernon for Kasia's baby shower, incidentally my birthday fell on the Saturday so we decided to celebrate that as well. We left at seven am Saturday morning, and it took us a long time to get up there! I guess that's what happens with three girls in the car. I got car sick almost immediately, so after we stopped for a very lengthy breakfast I drove hence the picture of me driving Magda's car. Anna was in the passenger seat because she felt sick too, and poor Magda got stuck in the back with the gifts. Too bad Magda is a really bad back seat driver!!! Every time I switched lanes or turned she screamed, I guess you have that right when it's your car. hehe. Anyways we decided we would go swimming in the lake, but in the end we decided to rent a sea doo instead...
The sea doo was so much fun, I got first turn to drive and I took Anna out with me, I think I scared her a bit since I'm kinda crazy on those things, but she's a stunt lady, she can handle it. Anna got to go next with Magda on the back, and Lastly Magda got to drive with me on back. magda was to scared to go so she would hit the gas, and then she would get scared so she would brake, it was quite jolty, we were laughing like crazy, I wasn't laughing at her, I was laughing with her... Eventually Magda and I switched and I told her to hold on tight, when I went all I could hear was
I HATE YOU
I HATE YOU
I HATE YOU
I went wild for a few minutes before Magsi jumped off and decided she would just swim. All in all however I think we all had fun, and decided it was definitely worth the money.
When we finally got to vernon, we met up with Kasia for my birthday dinner and drinks, mine was virgin since I don't drink, but still tons of fun! We went to Kasia's afterwards and caught up for a few hours.
This is at Kasia's we all got to hold the baby for the first time, since every other time we saw him he was in the incubator. Anthony was born three moths early, so technically he was four months old but really like a one months old.
I was so excited to sleep in on Sunday morning. I felt a little guilty about missing church, butI let that go. We got to the house and went to bed around midnight or twelve thirty, however seven am came and I could not go back to sleep, I think that's what they call mom sindrome. I tried and tried to sleep, but it was not going to happen, therefore I layed in bed reading my bible for a while, I figured I may as well make good use of the time.
We went to Kasia's house on sunday afternoon to visit before her shower, and then we went next door ro Adri's house as she was hosting the shower. All the neighbours came as well as some other friends and family. All in all I think it went well. We got Kasia a really pretty baby basket full of toys, and she seemed to really like it. I know Anthony liked it because he fell asleep in it, haha... So cute.
Almost asleep!
We didn't get to leave Kasia's house until eight thirty, and we didn't leave the house in Vernon until nine thiry, so Magda dropped me off at home at two am, and I think she got home around three after she dropped Anna off, so much for a weekend away to catch up on sleep :)
I came home to a perfect clean and tidy home, and I thank God I have such a wonderful husband who knows what it's like to come home to a messy house. Thanks to jim for letting me get a weekend away, and lovingly taking care of our children while I was gone.
God is so good!
