The Grunau Family: June 2007

Busy Weekend...

So we’ve had a really busy weekend!! Daryl, Libby and I met with our friend Kendra at the Saskatoon Jazz free stage on Friday night. It was a lot of fun and Libby really liked to dance to the music.
Then on Saturday we spent pretty much the whole day outside watching some of Daryl’s youth boys at their soccer tournament. It was a great day to be outside, and Libby was so good… she loves it outside so much!! She even had a little bit of a nap in her stroller too!
On Sunday we went to church and then she slept FOREVER (about 3 and a half hours!!). Then Daryl’s parents came and we went out for supper. Libby was a little grumpy there, but I think it was because there were some kids running around and she wanted to as well, but she was stuck in the high chair. Then Libby got to hang out with Grandma while Daryl’s dad, Daryl and I went to the Joshua Redman concert. He plays saxaphone and was in a trio. He was really good and it was a lot of fun. Last year when we tried to go to a Jazz concert the guy only played for 45 minutes (that was including an encore, and that was only because the 2 other guys felt bad…). Then when we showed up for the concert last night the power was off on the whole street of Broadway. We were starting to think that we weren’t meant to listen to jazz together. But the show ended up only starting about half and hour later, so that wasn’t too bad. The whole show was great and we all really enjoyed it… the best part was that is was about 3 hours long, so we actually felt like we got our money’s worth!!
Libby slept a whole lot today… I guess she is all played out from her busy weekend!!
Well she’d better catch up cause tomorrow her and I are off to Swift Current to catch up with some of my girl friends.. a late night is ahead, I can feel it!!

So Libby's birthday was on May 20th, but since we have been moving.renovating I have been a bit tardy in the whole blogging area..sorry bout that!!
Libby had a great day on her birthday!! The weather was pretty bleak so instead of having our picnic party as planned, we had all the grandparents over. AS A SIDE NOTE: My dad completely surprised me and came back after his sale in Alberta and made it back to Saskatoon in the morning of Libby's birthday. I apparently was the only one who didn't know that dad was coning back. I was so happy that he could make if for Libby's birthday!!
So we opened presents first (after discovering it would be at least 45 minutes before we could get into the restaurant), then we went to the new BP's in saskatoon (it was really good!) and then we came back home and had some cake!
Libby loved her cake and went full force with both hands! She got it everywhere!! If you really want to see a picture of her, let us know and we'll email it to you. She's just in her diaper so we didn't really want to post it online.
You would not believe how many presents one little girl can get!! She was super spoiled, but she loved every minute of it. This is the Little People circus that Libby got from her Auntie Andrea. She absolutely loves it, especially the monkey that came with it.
Anyways here's some more pictures of Libby's birthday.
