Ingram Family

When I got to Henry's I got on the talking scale and it told me basically that I had gained 7 lbs since JJ came home .... when I left Henry's I got on the talking scale and I was down 9 lbs altogether from the day before. I'm thinking one or two more visits to Henry's and I should be back in my bikini before the wedding! I can't really blame the wine, but mostly have to blame April for pouring it down my throat! Okay okay I can't really blame April either, but I just can't think of anyone else to blame and really I thought I was smart enough to not do that to myself. Then again there were three others just like pounding them back just as quickly ... I will say we were doing it to relieve stress .. yeah yeah that's what it is! And now onto the pictures (thankfully I am behind the camera most of time).

Nanny and Joeye enjoying a relaxing rock in the chair .. pre wine party




The boys starting to find their groove




April and I helping mom and Nanny do wedding stuff .. haha .. good thing we brought mom




Ok Henry how much wine did you have




The gang having a blast

Finally JJ is home and we were able to celebrate Joeye's 1st birthday with a little party.

Woohoo .. getting ready for my party



Look at my pretty dress ... don't worry you will get to see it again at the wedding



I can even do a little dance in it



Mommy and Daddy got me a cool cake



and just when everyone thought I would make a mess of it, I decided to show off my new trick called "using a spoon"



of course then I got a little dirty



I even shared with Daddy a little



After all was said and done Daddy and I put together all my new toys

Had a great trip in St John's. It was really nice for JJ and I to have some time alone before he comes home and I have to share him with everybody. We did a lot of eating and drinking and dancing. Friday night we even hit George Street again .. second night in a row .. but this time we stayed and had our fair share. We spent the whole night slurping jello shooters and dancing our asses off like the good old days ... Now usually if I'm going to post some bad, funny looking pictures I try and make sure that it's not me but when I downloaded this one I thought it was priceless ... this was about 3 a.m. when we finally crawled in, which I guess would make it Saturday morning and no longer Friday night. I believe we started our night with drinks at Mexi's with our supper at about 6 p.m. and this was the finished product. Let's just say I was thankful that I was not the one going back to sea that morning .. luckily I took the short route home on the plane. Poor JJ .. why do we always seem to get into the shooters the night before you head back to sea?

Supper earlier in the day ... but here is our first drinks .. looking pretty together still eh?



Now we've had our drinks with supper and nearly finished off a big bottle of wine while we got ready .. still rather together but starting to look a little glossy in the eyes .. ohh and clearly enough drinks to think we are good enough at the self-portraits.



After crawling back to our hotel room, which by the way was at the top of a very steep hill ... by now there has been some Jello, vodka and lime, several other blends made in little cups ... oh and the worst picture would be one of my feet to show you all the blisters I got from dancing in very high heels all night long ... actually I'm not sure even a picture of my feet would be this bad.

Have to say I had a great time with the gang at Uncle Paul's this weekend. It's also always nice for the girls to be able to get together and have fun (read trouble)too ..

The shower went off without a hitch. Now that the shower is done I guess I'll be focusing on my visit to St John's and then JJ finally coming home. It'll be nice to see an end to this nightmare. After JJ gets home then we get to focus on the upcoming wedding and all of the visitors coming. So very very excited.

Advance notice the bachelorette party for April will be held the Thursday before the wedding. We are waiting for the out-westers so they don't miss out on all the fun .. so make sure everyone comes with a clean thong to wear outside their jeans!!


April waiting for all the fun to begin



April opening Nanny's picture of the plates she bought her



The sisters chatting up a storm



April reading my poem .. which I can provide copies of on request ....




Thank you to Myra for getting the lovely cake



Fun was had by all
