Until We Meet Again...

My new friend Jessica is moving to Washington DC on Wednesday. She and her husband and two daughters will be in DC for a few months, then they are off to Japan! Jessica's husband snagged a wonderful opportunity to work with the Japanese Government.

We had a going away dinner for her Saturday night at Amanda's Fonda Mexican Restaurant on the west side of Colorado Springs.
I just met Jessica this year when Lily was about 3 weeks old. Actually, I take that back. I met Jessica back in May of 2006, but didn't really get to chat much with her until our playgroups together. I met Jessica through my friend Nicole.
Jessica, I'm sad I only got to know you for a few months and I wish you well in your journeys!!

Lily 9 months in belly....

Lily 9 months today!

Lily is 9 months old today!! She has been in this world as long as she was in the belly! We went to the Doctors today. Lily is good and healthy! She weighs 18lbs and she is 27 inches. She went from 70th percentile in height at 6 months to 40th percentile today. Perhaps she is destined to be a bit shorter (like her Mommy) :)

For the earth...

Baby Shower

We threw a baby shower for my friend Melanie on Saturday. It was a lot of fun! This was a surprise shower for Melanie. We told her to come over for just a brunch...hee hee.
Melanie is due in December! Only two more months to go. My advice to her was to see every movie she can, go out to eat as much as she can and sleep in!

I made Melanie a lap blanket
