I've had babies in my house before but not since my referral. I felt myself observing things differently, taking notes, but mostly feeling happily verklempt to be around such a darling, little child. Mak Daddy is a sweet ray of sunshine and Barb is a wonderful friend. Thanks ladies for the great visit!
We spent Saturday at the park, enjoying the Afrikadey music, the sun, and the great company. There were a bunch of moms and mom's-to-be there, including Alison & Kibrom, Brigitte & Edie, Dianne & Hana, Eileen, Sas and Mataya. New friend, Evelyn, joined us - she is a SMBC adopting from Ghana. Marelise, Brad, Riven, & Emma were there for a short while before heading off camping. I even met a MummyHeart blog lurker - Marina, her daughter, Mya, and husband Jim. She knew me at the park from my blog - how cool is that? Hello Marina! (pst, leave a comment)
I don't have permission to post non-blogging-people pictures or videos with children in them, so you'll just have to trust me when I say they are all so adorable. It was so much fun to see them running around, dancing, or sitting and enjoying the music. I can't wait for next year when Biset will be there to rock the house with them.
Brigitte & Edie joined us for dinner at my place on Saturday night. Claire was in town with Morgan and John for back-to-school shopping so they came over with Mom to hang out with us in my back yard.
On Sunday, Barbara, Makeda, and I hung out at Bowness Park for lunch and a ride on the park diesel train. Barbara will tell you she especially loved listening to the nearby karaoke while we ate ;-)
And the weather was great just for us. It rained right up to Thursday and started again on Monday.
