This weekend was filled with babies. Lots and lots of babies. And it was marvelous.
Saturday: woke up SUPER early with the baby, and spent the morning with chantel, ryan, and the baby. We then packed up, and headed over to lisa and mike’s place (chantel’s sister Lisa), to see my new little niece* who was born on Tuesday. So nice to spend the time with them. Then, chantel and ryan dropped me off at my parent’s where I intended to meet up with high school friends. Unfortunately it didn’t work out, so I hitched a ride back to Toronto, and spent the evening eating homemade (vegan) macaroni and cheese, drinking wine with my landlords, and making jewelry for the upcoming sale. Watched horrible bosses, and friends with benefits (which I actually expected to be good, and was not. Couldn’t figure out why they didn’t just date right from the start. Dumb). went to bed. great night.
Sunday: woke up in time to coordinate with my sister and mom, to head to my cousin’s baby shower. Spent the afternoon looking at baby clothes, and chatting with family… couldn’t believe that it’s been a year since her and her husband got married (in December), and I haven’t seen her since then! Then, was dropped off at home, and left to make dinner, and clean/organize like crazy. Also managed to get in north country and 17 again (I know, shut up) while organizing. Loooove that feeling. Did a bit of reading (about halfway through veronika wants to die, a book by Paulo Coelho, which was the inspiration for a movie I’d love to see with my boyfriend jonathan tucker), and then off to bed.
my little monkey face; me and my monkey and her new boots; me holding my new little munchkin niece for the first time; my nephew playing piano for my niece - so. cute.; the 2 families; the sisters (auntie jamie, chantel and lisa), and the kidlets; baby shower for laura with katie; the proud mom and dad
Friday: hopped on the GO train right after work to meet my friend chantel, to head to a home sale party (one of those parties where they try to sell you products… clearly I was not buying anything…). We spent the night there, then grabbed harvey’s, and went back to chantel’s to watch the rest of kingpin with her husband slash my sort of brother ryan, and then dumb and dumber – “are you guys going to quote every line before they say it?” we have a problem. Went to bed early for a Friday, and vowed to tell everyone that we stayed up way later than we did.Saturday: woke up SUPER early with the baby, and spent the morning with chantel, ryan, and the baby.

*just in case anyone hasn’t recognized, there are a few of my friend’s children who I call nieces and nephews – three families. These are two of them.
