Sign of Things To Come?



Yesterday morning we went over my friend Lauren's house so that Calleigh and Caroline could "play." As a reminder, Caroline is about 6 weeks older than Calleigh. Anywho, the girls had a good time following each other around the house and the older girls (Lauren and I) had a great time catching up since we haven't seen each other in months. At one point during the visit, Caroline sat down in the Bumbo seat at about the same time Calleigh apparently wanted to and as you can see by Calleigh's expressions, she was VERY perturbed by this. Ahhh, I'm sure there are many more of these situations ahead of us. Lauren gave me some good ideas of activities to do around town including getting a membership at the Orlando Science Center where they have a great play area for little kids. As an added bonus, you can use the membership at other places such as the Children's Museum and the Science Museum in Boston so that may be a neat option of something to do while we're up there.

Last night we did Pizza Night since Shannon worked today. And FINALLY, the roomies signed up for cable and Internet. I had to call DirectTV on their behalf to get the bottom line and do some other research for them but the end result was that they're getting cable (instead of the DirectTV) and good Internet (as opposed to the cheap-o version that's slow). It's being installed on Monday late afternoon. So that only took like 6 weeks for them to figure out.

This morning Calleigh and I took David to the airport. He's flying up to Burlington Vermont and returning on Sunday night. He hasn't been home since Christmas so he wanted to see his parents and such. On the way back, we stopped at a new playground and had a great time looking at turtles and ducks and playing on the slide and swings. Fortunately it seemed to really wear her out since she took an almost 3-hour nap this afternoon. I wasn't so fortunate yesterday as she only slept for 1.5 hours. That can be a real problem for me since I try to work 3 hours a day and am usually able to accomplish that during her nap.

This evening I went out to Panera with my friends Heather, Nicole, and Piglet for monthly outing. We had a good time and Calleigh went to bed perfectly for Duncan. I missed her though! While I was at Panera, Shannon called me and broke the news that one of her patients coded and died today. This was a first for her and was quite traumatic as you can imagine. She got some TCBY to cheer herself up.

Well, that's all she wrote for now.

Okay,

I cannot believe that you had to call the cable/internet company for them. Are you kidding me??? Are you their mother?

Hi Cor, I don't really have a comment specific to this post, but I just wanted you to know that I read your blog faithfully (although I don't comment much), and I love reading about everything going on with you guys and Calleigh. Thanks for keeping us all in the loop since we don't get to see you very often! Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks, though!

Thanks for your comments Kel! I'm glad you enjoy the blog. Here's some food for thought. Why don't you start a blog?? I have one and now Alison has one so I think we need a voice from the Cape. Think about it!
