The Land of Oz grew a little bit brighter last week on the birth day of Olivia Daria, first child of Karolina and Janusz.
Birth Day 7th July 2014
Time: 9.50am
Weight: 3.29kg
Length: 51cm
Janusz is the Production Manager at my work. I've known him now for 7 years and in that time he has worked extremely hard to create a life for himself in Australia, having immigrated from Poland. That life now includes becoming a Australian Citizen (not an easy thing to do), a beautiful new Polish wife, and a daughter. Olivia is being an extremely good baby and Karolina is a natural Mum. It must be very hard for her not to have her family around her and i hope that she feels she can reach out if she needs help or just a friend.
I've got a soft spot for Janusz and have spent years encouraging him to find a wife and settle down. I think i just didn't want him to be lonely. I cant imagine what its like to live in another country with only a few friends. Well, he will be lonely no more and its lovely to watch him become a Daddy and to see him soften (though he wont admit to it). He has very strong views on how a baby/child will be raised and im quietly watching (with much amusement) to see Olivia wrap him around her little fingers. I see a princess in Daddy's future.
I hope i got this poem right and that I'm not saying something completely stupid.
Trochę zielony
Ona jest trochę słońca,
Ona jest uśmiech na światło swoje dni,
Ona kradnie serce i
utrzymać go z jej ciepłych ujmujący sposób,
Ona jest Twój cenny córeczka,
O słodkości z góry
Kto wypełni swoje lata ze śmiechu
i wasze życie z partii miłości
A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE (that was born in Sunshine, how apt)
A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE (that was born in Sunshine, how apt)
She's a little bit of sunshine,
She's a smile to light your days,
She will steal your heart and
keep it with her warm endearing ways,
She's your precious little daughter,
With a sweetness from above
Who will fill your years with laughter
and your lives with lots of love
So Welcome, little Olivia, a new little Aussie (with a twist of Polish).
Thanks For Visiting Living In The Land Of Oz
What a beautiful baby and what a lovely name. Thanks for sharing that, Lynda.
ReplyDeleteOriginally it was Oliwia but they obviously discussed (and i pointed out) that the poor girl would have to spell her name her entire life and most people would put the V anyway. W in polish sounds like V.
Deletesensible suggestion - beautiful baby!
