In other news, life has been fairly quiet on the home front. Caiden and I have been keeping each other entertained during the week. On Wednesday we went to our first class together. Evergreen hospital offers free parent/baby classes for the first 3 months of baby's life. These classes are primarily an opportunity for moms and babies to get together, have some focused discussion for a little while and then open up the class to talk about anything that's on our minds. This week's topic was all about being a new mom on Mother's day and thinking about what kinds of traditions we'd like to establish. We also all shared our stories on how we found out about our pregnancies and how we shared the news with family and friends. It was nice to get out and hear how other new moms are doing with their wee ones.
On Friday, my friend Carrie was in town and stopped by to meet Caiden. :) It was so good to see her, and I'm so excited that she finally got to meet him!! Here's to hoping that we'll be seeing a lot more of her soon! Then on Saturday we did a little shopping at REI (I needed to get a new raincoat to replace my dying pink polka dotted coat) and spent the evening at the Ptaks' place playing Rock Band. This game is SO MUCH FUN! Almost makes me want to get an Xbox. Almost, but not quite. :) I stuck to alternating between drums and vocals while the boys rocked out on guitar.
I'm really looking forward to the end of this week because my sister Cathy is coming to town!! She gets to meet Caiden for the first time and absolutely cannot wait!! :D I just need to figure out a way to "quarantine" her room from the cats. Any ideas?
My other project for this week involves getting started on more photo albums. I've often lamented that since having a digital camera I no longer have physical copies of photos. I used to sort and organize all of my pictures into photo albums and really loved flipping thru them from time to time and showing them to friends and family. It's now been 3 1/2 years that we've had a digital camera which as you can probably imagine equates to TONS of photos. I realized that printing off all of these photos and purchasing albums to put them in would cost us a small fortune in time AND money. So, as an alternative solution, I decided that I will put together one album for each of the last few years and select photos from events of each month - enough to fill up a complete album. This way I'll have something physical to look at, but I won't have to break the bank to do it! I'm looking forward to getting started on this project! :D
That's about it from those of us here in WA. Hope all is well with you!
