Another Date

So it looks like my patience paid off. It wasn't easy, but it worked.
I had dinner with B on Wednesday. It was nice - quiet, relaxing and peaceful. It seems like meeting on weeknights works out the best for both of us, as work takes up a lot of his weekend time.
Is date # 3 in the future? We will see...

Date

I have a date with B on Friday. I guess you could say it's a date. We're meeting for drinks. Is that a date? Or is it an informal meeting with alcoholic beverages? I shouldn't be afraid to call it that, but I guess it is what it is.

It's a date. And I'm glad. I'm glad I have a date with B on Friday. :)

Turkey Day

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for this year.

My parents will be in Omaha visiting my sister this year, and I'm thankful that I have siblings close by who include me in their family plans, even if they are with their in-laws. I'm glad I won't be by myself on Thanksgiving.

12

At Christmastime with the fam, my brother and sister-in-law announced they are expecting! Their twins (Elle and Jack, at left) will be 1 in March, so they will only be 16 months apart from the new baby. Whoa!

The number 12 is two-fold. I'm guessing by now they are about 12 weeks along, or maybe a little more than that. This will also be my 12th niece or nephew, just in my family! My friend jokingly asked if our family plans to start our own zip code. Maybe we will! Hahahaha....

Hey Baby

I went to Omaha this past weekend to visit my sister's family, among them the newest member of our clan, Mary Madeleine (14 weeks). On Saturday we decided to walk around a craft show going on in the Old Market, and I offered to carry little Mary in the BabyBjorn (those Swedes are so clever. I do love them for their Swiss Miss). The Bjorn (with two dots above the "O") is a nifty sling-like contraption that parents can wear to carry infants. Plus, ain't no way some psycho-crazy-kidnapper is ever going to snatch anyone in this thing! And I can see why babies like it. It keeps them warm and cuddly and allows them to see all the action that we see. Look how happy she is!



After about 20 minutes of wearing the Bjorn and all 13 pounds of Mary, my neck did start to hurt a little. And I soon discovered the "looks" and "how cute!" I was getting on the streets weren't for me, but for Mary, especially when she zonked out in the craft tent. Oh well.
