first babyshower

Yesterday I attended my first babyshower. My niece is 33 weeks pregnant and together with some of her friends and my other niece we organized a surprise babyshower! We had a really fun afternoon yesterday. I am very curious as to the sex of the baby. My niece knows the sex, but they are not going to tell it. So we will just have to wait and see. I think they will get a boy. Attending this babyshower did make me think about my own future. Well, future... I am already 27! So I am living my future. I want to have kids, but I also enjoy and realize the freedom we have when we don't have them yet. And then again, you don't choose to have children, you get children. So hopefully everything works fine and within a couple of a years I hope to get a little miracle of my own.

Ciao!

Easter dance

How something so simple can make me so happy! Yesterday I was at moms and dads. We were there to celebrate easter. I was there a bit more early because mom and I have this tradition of coloring some easter eggs. So of course we had to do that this year as well. Mom and dad have been into dancing since a few months. They joined their friends who have been doing it for several years. It started with their trip to Benidorm last October. Yesterday I got a little show of the dances they have learned. I got this show form both my mom and my dad! It is so wonderful! My mom is a type of persons who enjoys doing these things. And she just goes for it. She likes to learn and she doesn't let it stop her when she doesn't know a dance just quite yet. My dad however is different. Especially after his heart attack 1,5 years ago his short term memory is affected a bit. He is not the type to memorize a dance, let alone perform it when he doesn't know it quite yet. But even my dad performed for me yesterday! It was just wonderful to watch. How something so small, seeing ma parents dance, could make me so happy! Just to see how it makes them happy. And just to see it happening, as that time 1,5 years ago went down a little different, this wasn't even possible. I loved it. I loved watching it and I feel they deserve to do these dances for at least a whole lot of years more!

Happy easter!

Ciao!
