March 23: I have a hard time believing a week has gone by. I’ve been so busy, having fun and hanging out with my siblings and cranking away at work. I hope this weekend gives me a few moments to find some quiet. I’ve just uploaded two new photo albums to the gallery. The last one in the Winter 2007 album, and the first one in the Spring 2007 album. At some point here, I also hope to find an easy way to post video. I take lots of video clips of Andrew with our camera, and I’d like to share those too.
A quick synopsis of some of the fun activities in the past week: Last Sunday, I helped host a baby shower for my good friend Liza. She’s expecting a baby boy in early May. I finished knitting her baby blanket just in time for the shower! Maretta and Joe watched Andrew on Monday morning, and Monday afternoon, I took off work to hang out with Michael, Maretta, and Joe. The five of us (including Andrew) celebrated Michael’s birthday at Pedro’s, and then we went to a walk down to our neighborhood park. Andrew was just delighted to get to play on his beloved swings and slide again! Pictures of the baby shower and the park fun are in the gallery.
The rest of the week has been an utter blur, but today Joe and I took Andrew to the Vilas Park Zoo for the first time since last October. We met up with my co-worker Vicki and her son Alex as well as Budgie and Wyatt, along with their dad’s, Benson and Steve. Andrew loved the rhinos, we got to hear the lions roar, and I was happy to see some active polar bears. Pictures of our time at the zoo are in the (spring!) gallery.
