Shower of Blessings

On Thursdy evening the boys and I were on our way out to have dinner at....McDonald's.
Sam has been bagging me for a few weeks now to go there. On our way there I looked at the clock and realized it was already past seven o'clock and that it was caregroup night. We continued on and decided to skip caregroup that night. Then once we got home there was a voicemail message asking why we weren't at caregroup. Then moments later the phone rang. Our friend Elden (caregroup leader) was seeing if we were still going to show-up. Now by this time it was 8ish. He told Justin why he kept phoning. They had planned a surprise baby shower and had cake and balloons and gifts waiting for us. So Justin hung up and talked to me and we decided to go. It was really awesome that they had taken the time to think of us and to be so generous. Mattias received lots of new clothes, toys, soaps, shoes, blanket, and sippy cup. And Sam received lots of gifts as well. He got a Dr's kit, Thomas book, and a tractor toy. We let Sam open the gifts and give them to Mattias. He was so excited to do it and Sam was like, "See 'ttias...for you!" It was really awesome to see him being so caring and sharing.

On Friday we received a call from a lady from our church. She told us she was getting rid of a twin bed frame and thought of us and asked if we needed it. I said yes and her husband brought it by that night. On saturday we went to IKEA and bought Sam a mattress and set it up last night. Today Sam and I napped together on it. It is quite comfortable if I do say so myself.
Saturday was a shopping day spent at toys r us, Old Navy, Best Buy, and then ended at IKEA where we had dinner and bought some goodies.
Mother's day was relaxing. Justin let me sleep in by feeding Mattias and Sam. Then I awoke, showered and got ready for church. We left church a few minutes early because Justin had made reservations at Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Edmonton. From there we came home and relaxed and I had a nap. We watched Carolina Hurricanes (Cam Ward) finish off the New Jersey Devils and went for dessert at DQ. It was an enjoyable day indeed!
