while I've been away

I've been in Vancouver this week without my little girl. With all the stress and uncertainty of everything, it was easier to leave her in Chilliwack with the family. Its been so nice to not stress about her and how shes doing. It also helps that I had Tony with me the entire time I was in the hospital. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be alone while he was with Sadie. I was far too stressed for him to leave.

So thankful for my family in Chilliwack, they've been taking good care of my girl. I missed her first Easter with her though, so a little sad, but its ok. They took her to Grandmas house for fesper (fesper, for those non mennonites is light supper, usually buns, meat cheese, cold salads), and although she started out grouchy, she turned right around when Grandma took just Sadie into her room to look at all the her jewelery. They both loved it. I'm glad they had a good time.

Mikaela and her friends also took her to the park to play on the swings. I love that they have a park close by. Sadie loved the swings, but when they tried the slide, she cried. I guess a little Post Traumatic Stress from the slide accident set her off. Either she gets over it, or is going to look forward to years of therapy about when daddy let her go and she bit the slide. hehe.

All the girls had to play with Sadie. I love that Mik took her wearing her cute skirt and mary jane tights. She's adorable in that outfit. They posted these while I was in the hospital, and it was so nice to see new Sadie pictures while I was in there. I was looking at old ones to cheer me up, and these were wonderful to see.
