Mother’s Day at preschool

A couple of days ago we had Mother’s day at BB#1’s preschool. Every year they do a play for the Moms and Grandmas 🙂

BB#1 played a white flower 🙂

 

He was good, he said his lines and everything 🙂

 

BB#1 and his wife 🙂

And for comparison, BB#1 and his wife at last years show 🙂 We are wearing the same tie, we only have one 🙂

 

2013 in pictures

2013 was the year of the good, the bad and the ugly….

It was hard, it was sometimes scary and ofcourse there was lots of joy 🙂

Blackberry #2 finally joined the family at home and I had to learn to be the Momma of 2 boys.

January

Jan.15th was the day, that after 51 days in the NICU, we got to bring Blackberry #2 home from the clinic. This was the day that Blackberry #1 got to meet his little brother for the first time! (no kids are allowed in the NICU).

I didn’t think we would be home by that time, since the year started out bad, really bad. After doing really well, and having all his IV-s out, nothing sticking out of him, on january 1st Blackberry #2 caught some infection and became really ill, and I went in the clinic the first day of the year to find him with an IV in his head, and his leg and arm tied together so he wouldn’t yank it out. Everything started all over again, no milk, antibiotics, IVs, monitors etc….This is exactly why they call your stay at the NICU a rollercoaster. You have good days and then you have bad days and you never know what to expect. But luckily he was strong and became well again soon and was home by the middle of the month 🙂

February

It was carnival at pre-school and Blackberry #1 was a viking!

March

Blackberry #2 got to go for his first walk in the outside world in his stroller 🙂

I was a little worried: it was 16 Celsius outside and look at all the clothes I put on him 🙂

April

It was Easter and Blackberry #1 went on an egg hunt 🙂

May

It was Mothers day at Pre-school.

Blackberry #1 was the birdie in the play 🙂

Summer (June-July-August)

Summer was hot, and fun and relaxing. We went on a couple of vacations 🙂

I had my birthday in july, I turned old 😦

 

 

October

We carved a pumpkin and Blackberry #2 learned to stand and sit 🙂

November

We celbrated the birthdays of the Blackberries 🙂 (6 and 1)

December

We went on a winter vacation (post coming soon), celebrated Christmas and rang in the new year 🙂

 

2014 will be exciting: Blackberry #1 will start school in the fall, and hopefully Blackberry #2 will start to walk and talk 🙂

I hope we will have good health and less doctors appointments.

I hope to travel  abroad (the last time I left the country was in 2011 😦

How was your 2013?
