I drove into Saskatoon three times today. It was a FULL day, but a really good one.
I drove in this morning to bring a baby to a visit with their family. My dear girl, Cher, watched the other babes so I could go in hands-free 💜 I had a super nice interaction with birth mom, and got iced coffee on the way home. Wins all around!
In the afternoon, I learned how to de-eye a pineapple. Though this one still seems to have eyes 👀 at the top, it was more fun than I thought it would be, and took less time. Another win! I chopped up a watermelon, two packs of strawberries, and two pineapples.
I got the two babes up and drove back into the city to pick baby up from the visit. A really nice pick-up. No one cried. Babies were all happy to see each other. Two waved at one another.
We arrived home and popped into the house for a short time. Got babies dressed cute and loaded up all the fruit, a full diaper bag, bug spray, and headed back out to Saskatoon to visit with the family and loved ones of one of our other babies.
We spent the evening in the backyard with a large group of people we have been getting to know over the last year or so, and who we really, really love. Brady came right after work, and just in time. We ate hot dogs and all kinds of fresh fruit and veggies. S’mores after supper. The kids went hard, jumped on the trampoline, climbed on the climbing wall, ate sand, and hung off the slack line. Babies were passed from person to person. They drooled. Pooped. Got dirty and showed off their tricks.
No one wanted to leave, but it was time to wind down for the day. Babies were fussing, and even some of the other kids were at that special point of fatigue where every bump brought tears. So we picked a date for the next hang and went our separate ways.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to smell like campfire smoke. Finally.
I am appropriately beat, and I’m grateful that sleep is just around the corner 💜
And tomorrow we go again! Another baby, another visit. But YAY for all three babies getting to see loved ones this week!!! 🥳
Aaaaand tomorrows tomorrow begins another round of chemo! 😅
Sleep well, all. Pray for those you love.
