The week in review

It was cold this week. May and I went out a lot, but only after we bundled up very thoroughly. (On one particularly cold morning, May had on the following: Onsie, thermal underwear, jeans and a t-shirt, cotton leg warmers and a fleece sweatshirt, the Ewok bunting, heavy angora legwarmers, plus three fleece blankets, all folded into four layers, tucked around her. I had on a jacket and big fluffy mittens.)

Tuesday, I had lunch with another mom who I met on my Somerville Moms list serve. Laura and her 7 week old son Liam. She was very nice, though I still think she' day

Wednesday was a low-key day. May and I went to the Porter Sq. story hour with Doria, though May slept through most of it. However, we had some sad news that day, too. Nikki and Dave said goodbye to their astounding dog, Harley.. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.


Thursday, of course, was Christopher's birthday! He's 33 now and claiming to be officially middle aged. (I told him you're not middle aged til your 40s nowadays.) As his request, we had quiche Lorraine for dinner and devil's food cake with butter cream icing for a birthday cake. May abstained from both and instead had peas and cashew butter for dinner

Also on Thursday, May and I went to our Babygarten playgroup at the W. Branch of the Somerville Library. We go every Thursday and enjoy it quite a bit. But this week (the last week before a three week break, we resume in early April) the number of babies and moms and dads (we've got four dads in the group at various times, which is very nice) reached a critical mass of like-minded folks. So we're trying to arrange an additional playgroup at the Somerville Family Network open play hours today. I'll let you know how that goes.

And that brings us to Friday, this morning. Christopher has left for work and May just woke up. She's now demanding food and a reading of "Where is Maisy's Panda?" So I'll be off.
