Well my family are never ones to shy away from humorous endeavors and every year my mum indulges in one that always makes me laugh. She very lovingly buys a Christmas wreath to place on my father's grave. The funny part comes in when you see her arrive at the cemetery with shovel in hand... to clear the snow of course... I can just imagine how the care takers must react... do they have a moment of fear that this person has arrived and decided to dig up her husband? I like to think that the answer is yes... it would be a bit of a feat considering the ground is frozen solid there...
Only a week and a half of work left before the xmas break and there are many guests to be seen during that time! The lovely vero has been staying with us this week... then Ollie and Nadia arrive Friday and then Joey on the 20th! Since we are not able to travel, it is nice that people are able to instead travel to us!
No news on my seestor's sprog yet... still no labour and the induction unless determined critical will not take place until Sunday as they've got no room. She must be getting pretty frustrated by now as she's over 1 week late... She better hurry up before I decide to one up her and deliver a month early!
Fredu accosted my camera phone during our pre-parto classes on Monday... He snapped this pic of me... sadly he did not get a shot of the Colombian woman whom I've written about before... she's the star of the class! The girl in the picture next to me is due on the same day as I am.. but her baby is horizontal... check out the size difference! I feel huge, but when I'm in that class I am definitely one of the smaller ones!
Bump class
The colder climates have forced Lilly to wear some protection to keep her warm. She HATES it but hey... fashion or freeze... here is a not so good pic I snapped of her the other day when she was sporting her new little green parka!
Lilly Parka
And just for shizz and giggles a few bump and puppy combo pics... Lilly normally steers well clear of the bump as I think she can smell her competition a mile off... but on these chilly mornings I think she can put that aside for a moment if she just thinks of the bump as a pillow...
Don't get me wrong... I do not like the feeling I get about what rumbles within...
But for now it will do as it's warm and kind of like a pillow..
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

i love the fur collar.
she is too cute.
as for the grave visit, i was with mum this year and we had a good laugh as we were looking for some string to tie the wreath with and i suggested that we steal some ribbon from a neighbouring grave. she did not like that idea.
off to meet the girls for lunch.
love you
