What A Beautiful Surprise...
A few weeks later the family has settled back down into normal life.
Gianna was starting kindergarten and talking more and more and wanted more playtime now that she was active in school.

A few months nearing December..Alamea took Ekram aside..
Alamea: "hey love soooo remember about 4 ish years ago and i called you at work to come home..." *Ekram thinks hard* Ekram: "--wait...are you saying..." Alamea: "Ready for baby #2?"

August was soon approaching faster than they realized and so sometime in February Alamea and Ekram decided to mail their Baby Shower invites with a fun little spoilery photo.
Re: photo- The front of the invitation card read: We're overwhelmed with so much joy, because we are expecting a BOY!

The baby shower was small and intimate. A few friends and mainly family
Re: photo - Pregnant photo with the Mantu Twins..DeJa Vu anyone?
Alamea thought itd be fun to have pictures that doubled around the same time for the birth of the kids. But not using her own camera was a mistake. Certainly a photo for the scrapbook
Re: photo- Owwwww mom why is your front facing flashlight on!
All in all when presents were opened and games were played, Gianna was put in bed and food was cleaned. Alamea was grateful to cozy up with her husband and have some private quiet time before the next day of chaoticness
They had a busy busy weekend. They had planned the Baby Shower to be on Friday night because tomorrow was Giannas 5th Birthday. They were throwing her a Park Day At Home with a few of her classmates from school and were very excited!

Park Day At Home was a complete success!
All the kids had the best time and it was great to socialize with like minded adults and meet their families.
Re: photo- We used a Rent-a-Park deal to bring "A Park" to us and it was a hit. They set everything up and it was so fun to be near the house but have a personal park right next door to our house for a few hours
Re: photo- The slide was the biggest hit with the kids
