we woke up early
to get together
with our stranger friends
for a playdate
at the coffee shop
in the eagle rock.
these folks are nothing
short of amazing.
they shared stories
and advice
and were never overbearing.
they adopted us as
part of an incredible community,
even though we don’t
quite fit in
(madeline’s a little younger than most of the kids).
we learned a lot
and look forward to
future playdates
with our new friends.
what a relief
to find some other
(cool)
parents in the neighborhood.
after the playdate
we spent some time
with anya,
then raced home for
a videogame playdate with
ben and peter.
the a/c installation is complete
and has passed all inspections,
just in time for
the 70 degree temps
we’re enjoying.
got a few packages today.
stranger friend louis from the mn
sent me some books
that helped him
through a similar situation.
stranger friend ashely t. from the nc
(sister of stranger friend laura).
sent me this:
she claims her husband
uses this with their
child, so i suppose
i can as well.
(thanks).
liz
got this in the mail today:
bob and anna
stopped by with
a special delivery from india.
i was reunited with
an old friend,
a friend that should
bring an end to
the bad luck.
(thanks to red jenn for taking care of him for the past 6 months)
john and heather arrived
to see if i was
telling the truth about
that polish restaurant.
(they learned that i was).
more delicious pierogies
cooked in bacon grease.
mmmm….
came home and fell
asleep on the couch,
madeline on my chest.
woke up to find johnny utah
looking at me
through the door.
holy crap.
how long had he been
waiting there?
he claims only a
few minutes…said
he didn’t want to disturb us so
he made a phone call
to andrea instead
of knocking.
(how nice).
wednesday was great.
thursday will be
interesting.
madeline will get some
shots during her dr. visit.
any guesses re: her weight?
(special prize to the person who guesses closest to her actual weight).
