Last Mommy Group

Well, our visits to Mommy Group have come to an end. Our Mommy Group takes a break over the month of August, and will resume in September... but by then Aili will be too grown up to attend. It's for pre-mobile babies only, and little Ms. Soldier will not be wounded for much longer.

Mommy Group was a great place to meet other moms, learn about common struggles, share successes, and ease into the trials of being a mom. I feel a little bit like I've just graduated. And for any new moms out there, I highly recommend that you seek out your own Mommy Group. They're free, and put on by nurses from the public health units. An excellent resource indeed.

A circle of babies:


There is NOTHING cuter than a half-Asian baby....


...except for maybe TWO half-Asian babies!


Or THREE half-Asian babies!


The nurses gave everyone baby sunglasses.
Check out how little Zoe rockes those shades:


Kailynn slept through it all, but still was cute as a button.


How many mommies does it take to line up a bunch of babies against a wall?
A LOT.

I have a whole new respect for whoever coordinated those Kodak posters with 19 smiling babies in a row.


Sunglass kids.
(With Little Ms. Social Butterfly right in the middle, wouldn'tcha know?)


Ta-da!
Miraculous - no one is falling down, rolling over, and there are even some smiles.


And then there were some tears, and it all sort of unravelled... but it was a lovely moment while it lasted.


The graduate.
