Best Part of the Day-
Happy New Year. I met my nephew today!! He is a nugget o' love. One forgets how teeny tiny newborns are!!! He is a sweet treat and kinda reminds me of Liam at that age (11 days). I love how they stare at you with the eyes of a calm forest creature. He seems quite alert for being such a youngen--and is honestly a dear. (His parents seem well-adjusted, too.) Very fun for the cousins to hang. Scarlet did an excellent job holding him. Precious.
Also had lunch with dear friends who I have not seen in far too long. Our hostess made Lucky Day soup--a delish vegetarian concoction that is to bring luck to all who eat of it. What a perfect start to this '09!
Worst Part of the Day-
Just the packing up, readying process prior to a road trip--when one adult is attempting to get 2 little ones (and her bad self) out of the home!
This is a snapshot: one moment the house was pretty clean and we were basically set to go. The kids were in their coats, hats, etc. I went out to the car to deliver 2 bags and courteously warm-up the car. When I came back into the home 4o seconds later, I saw a puddle of orange juice and Liam rolling in it crying because he is anti his hat and the act of wrestling his hat off landed him in the puddle. (?) Also a pile of my work papers (think computer paper with perforated edges so it is all connected...) was strewn onto the kitchen floor like a Chinese dragon, AND a basket of laundry was overturned b/c Miss S. was trying to locate different socks at the last minute.
I was only gone for 40 seconds.
