easter.. take 2..

April 26th, 2011

I think i made up for not having an Easter last year ;) so as I was saying.. this was my last trip to Canada.. and it was good.. very exhausting.. and water retaining.. but good.. there is something about the drive up that I don’t drink the normal water I should (I cant stand all the bathroom breaks) and by the time I get there.. my knees look like swimming pools..  in my case on Saturday.. it was almost a 4 hour car ride.. yes 4.. it was bad.. we left the house at 3:45pm.. got some gas and pulled onto the I-5.. which was when apparently everyone else did.. it was so bad I thought there was an accident.. nope.. we drove this way for over an hour and a half.. stop n go.. standard.. braxton hicks.. it made me really wish I had bought an automatic..  we had 8 minutes of normal driving speeds. before it happened again. stop and go.. it is the Tulip festival down here.. and there were signs everywhere warning of more heavy traffic.. until bellingham.. ironically enough.. the borders were dead..  and we coast right through.. 

stretching out the old car legs.. 

finally arived to family fun.. easter egg hunts.. bad sleeps.. and way to much chocolate.. the cousins had a great time together! we put the kids down for  a nap (or so we thought) and headed back to the local 14th ave pub.. missing one set of siblings.. and had a great time.. it was the first time we had ever done this as a group before.. no kids.. just burgers and brew..  I waddled home and waited for the rest of the fam to arrive..

the kids went nuts with the hunt.. it was so much fun to see.. especially because olives hunt the day before.. was so short that she never had time to get excited about grabbing all the easter eggs we could find.. Heidi and Olive were so sweet and inseperabe.. on the morning we were leaving.. I watched Olive hold her hand out to Heidi while they were sitting on the little step.. and goes

Heidi.. Friends!  I friends with Heidi

Heidi reached her hand out and they proceeded to hold hands.. it was so precious!

the next time I see my fam.. I will be a mama of two.. and probably not have my teeth brushed or my face washed ;) but I am now glad to have my legs firmly planted in Mill Creek  (I never thought I would write that).. and just nest away.. I had my doctor appointments yesterday and the baby is a very active little lady.. and they gave me the old “If the baby comes now.. we wont try to stop labor” speech.. it is always welcomed ;)  and I had a new dr check me out while mine is “sunning” in Kelowna for the week.. and I was fortunate enough for it to also by my strep./herpes/swab test.. yes ladies.. you know which one I am talking about! because I am having contractions.. they wanted to get it done now because of the 5 day wait time..  

Hi.. nice to meet you new Dr.. these are my goods ;)

I got a lot of questions answered by this nice man.. and left feeling very reassured and ready.. 

and now.. we wait.. 

and Tabitha.. I never ended up making the Paska.. I was to lazy to get the produce :0 next year.. lets do it together!!
