We had a wonderful day with our friends Hamed and Alaa this afternoon and evening. Mary Ann slept the most of the time except in the beginning. Which was fine since Alaa was impatient to hold her and talk with her. Suddenly noises can be too much for Mary Ann, but still she is able to eat in the middle of it all. I gave her round 80-90ml formula in the start of our visit. She cried a little in the end of our stay, that was all. Neil and I don’t have Mary Ann out of the house for that long in a row. We would still like to protect her a bit.
Alaa has just been in Germany with her family in 50 long days. So it was great to see them again. They invited us for supper and we stayed there as long as we could. We got home five minutes before my friend Astrid meet me at our house and we left for water aerobic together. Alaa had two gigantic bags of clothes for us to take with us to our house. That means that we have clothes for Mary Ann till she turns two years old! And after that Alaa will have a lot more for us all the way through Mary Ann’s childhood. Their girl Axin is 3 years old. So we can just keep on getting clothes from them. That is so grand.
We made a plan of meeting at my house once a week, Alaa and I. She is also home and when her kids are in the day nursery, she can spend time with me as long as I’m of work. I look so greatly forward for that! We also arranged to meet with Hamed. That will be Monday where he invited us out for a steak in his restaurant. We haven’t been in his new restaurant yet, so it’s about time we go there. That will be a nice break for Cecilie as well. We have to entertain her even more next week for the day to pass. She knows that Auntie Cath is coming from UK Thursday next week, so we better help her spend the days before. She is very eager to se Auntie Cath again – and so are we.
