036: showers of love

I got to see my darling new nephew Hendrix, oh how sweet he is. There is nothing more delightful than a newborn babe sleeping in your arms. (Well I think so anyway -also good when you aren't the sleep deprived parent). But, I got to FINALLY pass on a few of Asher's boy baby clothes to my sister Jules for Hendrix. Some of the clothes Asher never got to wear as he was born in the middle of winter and in Melbourne so the little short sleeve numbers never saw light of day. There will be more hand-me-downs where they came from too!

Today Asher had a BIG sleep in and we went to Maccas for breakfast (english muffins) and met up with Katherine and her girls. Yes, I hear you - going to McDonalds isn't new for Asher BUT climbing to the top of the playground only to get stuck coming down between the 4th and 3rd floors and mummy coming to the rescue (Yes! I climbed all the way up inside!!!) was a new thing for Asher. Oh, and did I mention that we came back out using the slippery slide!! (Then silly me, offered to take Elara up in there too and on my way had to rescue Asher again! I will learn!)

I am grateful for lots of things today - 1. the play equipment at Maccas being large enough to fit me in easily. 2. being able to help friends again, 3. mum being able to help me out, 4. being able to see my sis and nephew, 5. the rain, plus much more! (Am thinking of making this about blessings too - cause that is what all of these things are!)
