I think it is a standing joke that every time I go to Calgary I have 2 HUGE suitcases full. This time I had 2 suitcases full of baby items of all kinds! Crazy but things can be ordered in the US for so much less money so I was the transporter. Josh picked me up at the airport and we arrived home just after midnight, Friday.
Karly was far too excited to go to bed cause "the stash" needed to be opened and admired and ... put together! Once I took the stash out of my bags, they were both nearly empty. Now Sophie is not only a curious cat but she is a lover of luggage. And she just happened to find a nice little cozy place to hang out while all this new baby stuff was being admired. Stuff that she isn't 100% sure of just yet. Stuff that there seems to be getting more and more of it every week!So at 1am instructions in Karly's hand, bouncy seat parts in Josh's, the new baby apparatus was assembled. 
Josh had to admire the new baby monitor I got them and then put it on a charge so he could test it ASAP. After all, it is electronics and he is a guy! By the next morning, he had the camera and the monitor staking out the babys room. They showed me the nursery and it is adorable and very unique. A typical Karly and Josh project. With all that, we hit the sack ... late!
Saturday we had fun out running around in the chilly, snow showery weather. We went to the Lazy Loaf and Kettle for lunch. Yummm, one of my favorite sandwich shops anywhere! And a couple of their good cookies were a must! Across the street to browse a boutique and we were off to the baby stores for this and that, fabric store to pick flannel for baby items, the Mall and a couple miscellaneous stops. We went to the movie to see "Earth" which was incredible.
Sunday we had a lazy start, got some breakfast, a few errands and it was time to take me to the airport for the afternoon flight home. A short but sweet visit. I loved having a chance to visit and feel more a part of the pre-baby experience. These are times when it stinks living so far away from the kids!

Mom you're on a roll - keep going. And a note for everyone in case you missed it, in the first picture Sophie is actually IN the suitcase hiding.
Thanks for "mule'ing" yet again Mom. It was a fun short visit and we can't wait to have you back.
