For the past month, my Aunt Sandi has been visiting from Kelowna. Having lived most of her life in Regina, she moved to Kelowna when my grandfather was getting older to look after him and ended up staying there after he passed away.
We sure miss having her in Regina but love her annual visits – she usually comes for a few weeks around the time of Pace’s birthday every year as well as some Christmases.
Her timing this year was especially good – Sasha was born on April 16 and I had two and a half weeks off before I had to go back to work. Sandi was booked to arrive on May 2, just a couple days before I had to go back to work so it made for a very smooth transition from me being at home to Shea having someone else to lend a hand as needed.
And lend a hand she did – from pitching in to do dishes, helping with laundry or just holding the baby while Shea caught a nap, she was an enormous help! (As you can tell from the picture below, Pace loved having someone to play with too!)
She flew back to Kelowna today but we’re already looking forward to her coming back in July when she’s here for another couple weeks for a Peet family reunion.
