So Much to Do, So Much to See...

We had a very eventful weekend so before I get even further behind with my posts I thought to do a mid-week update. First, how about a big shout to our girl Hillary for pulling out some big wins this week! It's so gratifying to see a woman of such substance, intelligence and poise finally getting the recognition she so richly deserves. As though we need further proof that we're not in JP anymore, the Mothers Goose saw a coyote in our backyard on Saturday. Being the city slickers that we are, we didn't know what to do... so we called the cops. Go ahead and laugh rural dwelling friends, the cop I spoke with sure did. Perhaps these critters were put here to take care of the other Brookline wildlife (see Dec. 4 post). On Sunday we attended one of Lucia's daycare pal's 4th birthday party. It was a pool party, and Mama Mer was the designated swimmer. She wins. Of course, even though Mer was ready willing and suited, Luce wanted nothing to do with the water. They both looked awfully cute though. Once on dry land, Lucia had a wonderful time at the party. Tell me this isn't the cutest party outfit ever? To wrap up the weekend, our friends Laura and Erin were kind enough to bring over our favorite Thai take out for dinner Sunday night. Yum. Lucia was being her usual cute self, showing off her belly button to all and then pointing out our belly buttons as well. When she got to Erin's belly button, Lucia's eyes grew wide, she pointed at it and said, "Uh oh!" (Erin happens to have a pierced belly button). It was hysterical and one of those adorable moments as a parent you hope you never forget... and now I told you, so you can remind me.
