{Last} Weekend.

It’s almost been a week – better recap last weekend before it’s too late!

Foodblog-3515

We had a great time relaxing – nothing too busy planned.

Saturday we went to a birthday party for Mazen’s friend Sophia!

Foodblog-3494Foodblog-3495

It was fairy themed – M says hello to a fairy doll!

Foodblog-3499

Foodblog-3498

Sophia was the cutest happy baby – she totally knew it was her special day!

Foodblog-3502

We sang songs and ate delicious carrot cake

Foodblog-3507

Saturday night we dined on leftovers from the freezer – mac and cheese, BBQ and salads

Foodblog-3516

Plus tasted some great stout!

Foodblog-3519

Sunday was the best! We “slept in” and ate oatmeal in bed. Matt usually sleeps in on Sundays and I make a big family breakfast for us when he wakes up, but after a particularly rough few nights on my end, I played with Mazen in bed while Matt made us hot bowls of oats and coffee.

Foodblog-085410

After digesting, we went for a 5-mile family walk/run, which was awesome.

And went to hang out with our friends who were brewing beer

Foodblog-

And then Sunday night we went to Karen’s house for a lovely dinner!

Foodblog-3524

This was my best attempt at photography with a baby in my lap : ) Bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin, risotto, cheddar garlic and salads

Foodblog-3530

Little Choogie Pie wore a sweater that a blog reader Cathy hand-made for him – so stylish! Thanks so much Cathy – we love it!

Foodblog-3531

Foodblog-3534

Karen’s other guests brought a rice pudding cheesecake with fresh fruit – delish.

Foodblog-3538

Here’s to hoping this weekend is just as fun!

    I love that Maze has some little buddies already. Too cute! And “Little Choogie Pie” might be the most adorable term of endearment I’ve ever heard!

    So glad Sophia had a nice birthday.

    I remember you unwrapping that beatiful sweater the week Maze was born, and now it fits him! So fun.

    I love those kinds of weekends! 🙂 As I have just started knitting…I can totally appreciate the time that the blogger took to knit that gorgeous sweater for Mazen! I am still on my never ending first project…a scarf. I was on a 4 hr knitting marathon last night to be ready for my last knitting class on Sat…a hat. ( I missed the second class as I was away and am playing catch up) Tonight will see me on another knitting marathon to be at the point where the class is. Loving it! 🙂

    Kath. I have been reading KERF for over four years now. I think this with just about every post you do, and there’s really nothing to be achieved, by me, in finally saying it. Well, except for hopefully putting a smile in your heart and upon your lovely face, but you have attained a beautiful dream of a life. You and Matt, very obviously through your dedication and consistent hard work, seem to be living a modern fairytale. I know we do not see every moment, and that you also are forced to bear with some quite harsh and unwarranted negativity at times. However, it is really difficult not to envy you! 🙂 Truly, I hope that you and your family enjoy life as much as you seem to! It would be hard to falsify I should think! I know it’s always nice to hear good things about yourself and we really all should compliment each other more in everyday life, but I feel so embarrassed! That’s just the way society conditions us now, I guess. Fear of the abnormality of being nice! 🙂 Sooo, now that I got that out and probably seem like a complete weirdo, I’m just going to stop my rambling there. I hope you have yet another beautiful day! 🙂

      hi jamie!
      the yarn is called KOIGU and it is canadian…it’s hand-dyed, and i like using the variegated shades. the yarn is great for baby items as it washes really well and there are lots of bright colours available!
