Day 365: Dads and babies


We were invited to our friends' place for a barbeque. Here are the dads and their babies! From left to right, Joe and Jacob, Brian and Meghan, and S and baby A.

This is the final post of my second 365! Year 3 will begin shortly.

We have new neighbors upstairs who have just moved in. They had a very large moving truck with lots of helpful friends bringing it all inside.

Day 362: Trip to the library

Even though Daddy is out of town, we still made it to the library and Anand was good enough to let Mommy check out a few books.

Day 361: New wardrobe


Our landlord lent us a vintage wardrobe, which he and his friend moved into our apartment. It's a little big, but I love it!

Day 360: Farewell to my suitcase


I'm really sad about this. My favorite suitcase, a suitcase that has been all around the world and back with me, has finally died for good. I must replace it immediately!

Day 354: My kind of town


And seen by boat, no less! We met a friend of mine for dinner and he kindly took us out on his boat! Gorgeous view from the lake.

Day 352: The baptism


Baby was christened today at our home parish. He was generally very good with a few minor stressful parts. But we were all very happy he survived the water. Here is the baptismal font.

Day 348: Airplane ride


Baby's first airplane ride! We made it successfully and even scored an upgrade to first class, but it was only for one of us plus baby, and neither of us were willing to leave the other back in steerage. So we kindly gave back the upgrade...I'm hoping that karma will come back to us!

Baby's first election.

He's finally starting to smile!

Day 345: Politics


We are having a primary election in a couple days, and the mail and telephone calls have been ramping up. It's starting to get annoying, so I'll be quite glad when August 10 is done!

Day 344: Wentworth's


S took me and baby A to Wentworth's for some ice cream. They have the best ice cream of any place around here. Plus, they have a nice backyard seating area where you can relax with your treat.

Day 343: Dreading this


S will be taking a trip when we return from Chicago...which means I will be on my own with baby A. I hope we survive!

Day 342: Laundry

Since having the baby, we now have a permanent pile of laundry located somewhere in the apartment.

Day 341: Poor little one


Today was the day I'd been dreading. Baby received his first set of immunizations (jabs for my UK viewers). He was so brave and only cried when she gave the initial injections, then he quieted right down. I was so proud of him!

Day 340: Working with Dad


Dad had some work to do, and luckily baby A was on hand to help.
