Mother's Day

So it was a great Mother's Day for me. We celebrated with my brother and his wife and her sister and husband and kids and an aunt and the grandmas. There were 4 children all keeping us busy and entertained. My mother was given a nice framed picture of the "Grankids" and my brother had even managed to get our daughter Mercy in the picture frame. More pics to come Nana!!! It was such a great gesture and it made things so real!!! I even got a Mommy-to-be Mother's Day card!!! Thanks Chris and Kathleen for thinking of me!!! These are special keepsakes I will treasure. Children are such fun at this age. Liam was the big boy of the group and kept the little ones entertained. Even little Jake was in on the screaming with joy.

It was a wonderful day I will remember always!!! Thanks to my family for making it special for me.

MIW Dinner

Well what a wonderful night it was meeting all my mommy friends again for our MIW dinner. We met at the Pickle Barrel in Yorkdale. It was a perfect spot and the restaurant even had enough room for the whole 23 + 3 kids lot of us. We had a chance to meet some of the new babies like Olivia, Ava and Samara. They were all so cute and had so much fun together running around the table. Mommy Jill was kind enough to even give them some little toys to play with. She even brought the mommy's a great little treat of Chinese tea. Jill is so thoughtful!!! Thanks again Jill.

We had some mommy's as far as New York come to our dinner this time. I got to meet Nicole for the first time and she shared with us about her little Vietnamese baby boy she will soon get to meet. She had a great little album of pics to show us. He will be much younger than our babies probably will be. She is very brave!!!!

I was able to pick the brain of both Debbie and Karen about their trip and adventure and they offered some very helpful info. Thanks ladies!!! I hope I remember some of it when I finally get to China!!!

All in all the evening was a huge success and we made more friends. They're a great bunch of ladies!! Thank too Catherine for organizing it all. You are such a social convener!!!
