Marta and Aniela in Seattle Part II

MAGNOLIA PLAYGROUND

The picture to the left is the Magnolia Playground. This is a nice huge playground close to school, tennis courts, and a baseball field. Marta, her daughter Aniela, and I went to the playground for Aniela to enjoy sliding, swinging, and exploring this new playground. On this day, although it was very cold and windy, Aniela enjoyed it so much! Th following pictures below show what we did at the playground:

SWEDISH HOSPITAL BABY SHOWER

Last Tuesday, April 8th, Christina and Stacey, Kevin's coworkers, threw us a wonderful baby shower at the Swedish Hospital where Kevin works. It was so great to celebrate the coming of our baby girl. I enjoyed meeting each and every one of CIS Team and feel fortunate that Kevin works with a group that is so thoughtful, friendly, and generous!

Marta, Aniela, Kevin, and I had such a great time and enjoyed the diaper game and delicious cake! In addition, Kevin and I received all the wonderful gifts such as the clothes, blankets, a diaper genie, toys, bath items, accessories, and gift certificates from them and their families. Our little girl is going to be spoiled already!

After the wonderful baby shower, we (except Kevin) went home with all the gifts and organized them. Marta helped me a lot to go through baby stuff to organize after our recent shopping: a few simple things such as buckets, storage drawers, etc to make room for baby stuff to be in.

ANIELA WITH FUR HAT

While Marta was doing things such as laundry and packing, Aniela showed her most beautiful apperance by putting Aunt Elzbieta's fur hat on. Aniela was being silly and adorable with this fur hat.

Kevin and I had a great time having Marta and Aniela here in Seattle. Marta and Aniela went home on Thursday, April 10th, in the morning, and we already missed them. We are looking forward to seeing them and Charlie this summer for our little girl's baptism in Peoria, Illinois.
