Weeks 35 and 36 BB

Dear Baby,

look how mummy hasn't updated your blog in two weeks!

Well, we have been preparing diligently for your arrival, mostly with the help of your many aunties and uncles, and we'll show some pictures of that today.

Also last week you and Mummy finished the last week of being on call for work.. it was busy, we survived, and are thankful.

So, remember a few weeks ago, Auntie Achilia got mummy a baby k'tan for you, and this past week, Auntie Julina sent Daddy his.. he was a little more adventurous with his, and I have to warn  you, Jake really liked it!

Now before we show some of your other presents, here's an update on happenings on the home-front.  Behold, the garage apartment has taken shape, and is looking so real.  This coming week is when the stairs will go in, so mummy will be able to take more frequent trips upstairs (not on a ladder).

And not to forget our veggie garden.. here is our first produce.  We're so proud of it, we don't want to move it, or it might be that we don't know when you're supposed to pick it.. either way, we'll take pictures for the memory.

And now, for your Baby Shower #2.. Bajan style!

The first two pictures are of your gracious hostesses Auntie Connie..

And Auntie Keitha with her twin angels.. Thank you ladies it was great!!

Also thanks to Uncle Hayden for the wonderful pictures (ok and for feeding Mummy and Daddy today, cause we're heading there for lunch once your blog is updated!)

Uncle Barry, was in charge of cake, and speeches and toasting..

And then we had a great time opening lots for fun presents for you.. from Christmas tree booties..

To Barbados cricket onesies (Thanks Uncle Mark, host extraordinaire, and explainer of said onesie's title "Silly Mid On", in the back)

And the diaper dude bag, from Uncle Shoji/Auntie Ayana/Cousin Kai

Uncle Shoji also brought us a very special surprise, all the way from Barbados.. Thanks Uncle Patrick! We will make good use of the donation to the BabyLarrierTurner fund :)

Here's one lovely picture of several of the folks who came out to show their love for you.  Many of these aunts and uncles have known Mummy especially from before you were dreamt of, and we appreciate them greatly.
