Vacation in Poland

On Tuesday, April 19th we flew out on our vacation to Poland. We flew SAS. Our flight left at 10pm on very stormy and rainy evening. Gabi and Patrick slept for most of the 8 hours flight and it went by very quickly. We had one stop and 2 hours wait in Copenhagen. After that we had 1,5 hours flight to Warsaw. Kids played with another boy and when we were landing felt asleep again. It could not work out better. We did not get to my old house until 10pm on Wednesday. I was worrying that with the time change G&P will wake up very early but this did not happened. Thankfully they slept until 9 am. On Thursday morning Monika with Pawelek and Ola visited us in Czarna Bialostocka. They had so much fun and freedom out there. They were chasing rabbits and cats, played in the sun and run around the house. Then we visited Grandma Teresa. She took us for a walk. Patrick could not stop chasing any pigeons he saw, he loved it! Then we went to my grandparents Domaniewskich and headed back to Czarna. That evening we visited grandpa's Kazik grave. On Friday Gabi slept until noon! After she woke up we drove to Bialowieza where Pawelek and Ola have another house. This place is awesome. So much space, so many toys and kids can play in the street. This is the best part for Gabi, she loves to drive on a small toy tractor, Jacek took her on the bike ride to the grocery store down the street. Gabi and Patrick had a blast in Bialowieza.

Today we went to the church to bless the food for Easter, we made some muffins and decorate them, went for very long walk and played in the street again. Pawelek and Ola also have a tree house and both G&P like to clime in there.

Natalia's Birthday Party at Pump it up!

Gabi and Patrick got invited to Natalia's B-day party. We did not have to go far. Pump it up is just in Elmhurst 5 minutes away from us. They had a great time!

Another busy tax season

It is a mid busy tax season. I work many hours and don't spend as much time as I wish with Gabi and Patrick. Grandma Teresa is visiting from Poland and helping us out with laundry, cooking and cleaning. Gabi just advanced to Turtle II in her swimming class and now few months short from her 4th B-day she swims with 7-year-olds! I am so proud of her. She talks A LOT! I had my "be quite" moment on Sunday:) But I am not complaining - just reporting:) Weather is getting warmer, we changed time last Sunday and this week Gabi goes to bed after 10PM. Jacek took both of them to the park and Gabi went on Big Girl swing first time! She is growing too fast!!!!

Patrick is such a sweetheart. He is such a good eater, loves playing balls with a tennis rackets and smiles most of the time. He has a flu now so nights are tough for him with his staffed nose and cough. Otherwise he is so much fun to be around. He follows Gabi everywhere. One minute they love each other and another they fight about everything. Gabi got crazy about butterflies tattoos. Her arms and belly are covered with them. Patrick wanted to get them too:)
