First date

SJC and I went out for ice cream tonight....without Anna (!), who stayed at home with Grandma as a babysitter. It was certainly a strange feeling, more so for SJC than I, since I have been going to work each day. But for Sarah, it was literally moment one away from the baby.

Overall, Grandma has been incredibly helpful this week. In addition to making us dinner and giving Anna endless holds, she has trimmed all of our bushes, weeded the front and back yard, pruned the oak tree in our front yard, ironed all my shirts, done our laundry, and cleaned our house. Looks like Nana has a lot to live up to next week!

Last night, our friend Jessie came over and made all of us (well, not Anna) mushroom crepes, which were absolutely delicious. I think SJC and I are getting spoiled by all these wonderful visitors. Of course, the party shows no signs of stopping: my sister and brother-in-law are coming this weekend, and my mom is coming for the week next week.

Anna has run the extremes this week. Today, according to SJC and Grandma, she was a little angel, eating well, sleeping well, and spending her awake non-feeding time looking around and being very well behaved. Yetserday, however, she was a constant fuss, spending most of her day screaming until someone held her.

No pictures today; our camera battery died a few days ago and I've forgotten to charge it.

  1. Looks to me like Grandma has taken care of everything this week, which means that all Nana has to do is hold Anna and watch that large screen TV!!!!!!!
