7 paragraphs It Is!

I wasn't expecting that many! So of course I will follow through.. and I'm not going to be skimpy either. Some might choose to do the shortest paragraphs known to man, but I am not like that. The last post had some lovely people making lovely comments so my answer to that is to record a lovely post for you all! Oh I'm so funny!

Last night my good friend Lisa took me out for a birthday surprise. Apparently a number of months ago she bought hockey tickets! She sure knows me well : ) We went for dinner first and had so much fun talking and just being together that the time got away from us a little bit and by the time we left the restaurant in Langley it was 6:38. The game was due to start at 7:00 p.m. I don't think I've ever tried to hurry a car along as much as I did last night. It didn't really work that well because by the time we sat in our seats it was 7:52 p.m. But Henrik Sedin scoring twice within 30 seconds made it all worthwhile! It was an awesome way to break-in my birthday. You know I'll be celebrating from now until people get sick of it : P

Tomorrow is Philip's birthday and I can still remember the day he was born. He was due March 15th and I remember talking to my Mom the day before and telling her I was excited for the baby to come the next day. Her response after giving birth four times previously was that babies NEVER arrive on their due date. Imagine her surprise and my 11 year old gloating to find out Phil proved me right. It took a long time to name him too. I guess after having 4 kids you use up all your good material in the beginning.. come on, Sara Joy!! That rocks! Anyway, I remember Dad had asked us what names we liked and Matt insisted his name be Spike. At Matt's wedding Phil, Meg & Nina were actually in a skit where Matt's son's name is Spike. I don't even remember where he got it from, I think it was some dog's name.

I had to stop writing for a bit because Kai threw up. I started hearing these strange, yet familiar noises that still make me break out in a cold sweat. Nate and I went in his room just now and he had a made a little mess everywhere. We were quite worried that he had been given Cheerios in the nursery tonight and I called Tanya, but that's not what it is. I don't know whether to be reassured or freaked out. The flu better not be back! Poor little dude!

On a much happier, less queasy note, I asked Jericho the other day what HE would want to name a baby if Mommy & Daddy had another one. His response? Daveigh. That's his little cousin he was able to stop from crying for those of you not paying attention. It's a lot better than Spike! No offense Matt... I just love asking him these questions and seeing what he comes up with. The other day he picked up this old phone that doesn't work and pretended to have a conversation with Uncle Mamu for 20 minutes. He told him all about his day, what Kai was doing.. how Mommy was tired... I guess he really is paying attention!

I thought this was the last paragraph, but apparently I don't know how to count. My mom called me a few minutes ago to let me know I have a new cousin of sorts. I say that only because I'm not entirely sure how we're related exactly. I think second cousins. My cousin Cory and his wife had a son tonight! Congrats!

Nate and I rented a movie for tonight and I told him I had to write this post first because otherwise I might forget. We rented "Burn After Reading". I'm not sure if it's going to be good or not, but I have low expectations and that seems to help. I would have looked more at Rogers but Jericho had to go pee and when duty calls, it's fairly urgent to attend to matters as quickly as possible. I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks for all your comments, you make blogging fun : )
