Oma Meets David and Plays with Katy!

I just had to make the trip to meet my new little guy . . . and he is just as sweet as can be! He looks a little serious here, but he just got home from the hospital and had been meeting people pretty continuously for two and a half days. And many of them were named "Grand" something, too. But I am the only OMA in the crowd. That is undoubtedly why he is thinking so hard about it.

While David is sleeping, Katy and I are having a great time with puzzles and songs and books and walks around the block. Katy knows the route so well that she won't let Oma change it! If we get to a place that she usually turns and Oma keeps going, Katy has a really hard time. "This way, Oma! No! This way!" Maybe we can branch out a bit tomorrow.

I got an awesome gift certificate from the kids for my birthday. It gives me a chance to get a facial or a manicure or a pedicure or other service at the Aveda school. I can't wait to get that scheduled. I also want to get another massage at "Body Wisdom" while I'm here. I should come back calm and beautiful . . . well, at least calmER and more GROOMED. :-) I also got a great garden stone for my flowerbed. Hopefully there will be some things blooming there shortly after I get home.

Katy and I are going to story time at the library this week. I don't know if she is looking forward to it as much as I am, but I can use a break from books about service oriented architecture and enterprise business strategy. A few days coloring Nemo pictures and reading Eric Carle books may just improve my creativity. It is definitely out-of-the-box thinking . . . the crayon box.

Adios, amigos! (Dora says this)
