Babies, Babies, Babies & MORE Babies!


As mom and dad were heading north to Edmonton on Thursday, myself and the boys headed south to Calgary so that I could attend my annual dental hygiene convention on Friday. Another reason for going was because several of my girlfriends that I went to hygiene school with either live in Calgary or were going to be at the convention and 2 of them had babies the same time that we had Landen. One friend Celeste had twin girls 3 days before Landen was born and then Sara had Naomi exactly 1 week after we had Landen. So I couldn't wait to meet these newest family members and visit with everyone else. It was so neat to see all these little people that are all within 10 days of each other. I was amazed at how close all of them were in size. Landen is one lucky little boy with having such beautiful girls his own age! :)

Then on Saturday night we all met at Jodi (another classmate) and Jason's house for a BBQ. We were going to go out for supper but with the thought of 4 infants and 3 toddlers it just didn't seem to be that appealing. So Jodi offered to have us over and it was a very relaxing evening for all - especially with all the breast-feeding that was happening!!!
Thanks Jodi and Jason!!!!

How brave of you to go to a convention with little ones in tow! You Albertans need to send some of the little girl power out to the island...we don't have enough of them here!
