11-12-13 = A very special day! You slept through the night last night! Oh my goodness! It was so awesome. I haven't had seven hours of straight sleep since January (before I was pregnant). I know that this may not be a permanent habit for you yet ~ but it was still so dang cool. Thanks.
This week:
- Received your birth certificate and your Social Security number! Legit!
- Turned in your paperwork at the District office. I of course showed you off to all the uppity-ups I could find.
- Took you in to Costco for the first time - what an adventure.
- Ordered your birth announcements and they arrived three days later. I love them and can't wait to mail them out.
- Your Daddy made a batch of beer for the first time a long time. And - crazy - I just read that your birth flower is hops?!?
- Jana T. (first visit), Sara and Allison all came by for snuggles.
- Capital won their playoff game and is headed to the semi-finals.

- The weekend was particularly wonderful:
- On Saturday your Dad and I went down to Greenwoods and bought him a mini-pass for skiing at Brundage this winter. It was a beautiful sunny warmish day. We stopped by Josh and Sam's place and said Hi. Then we went over to Highlands Hollow and had a snack and a beverage. Lovely.
- On Sunday your Dad suggested we go for a drive and get the doggles out. I was happy to do so ~ get some sunshine on our cheeks, breath some fresh air and see some pretty countryside. We went through Emmett and made a little house call at the Hoover's. They were really happy to see us. :) Then through Black Canyon, up through Sweet / Ola and popped out at Gardena. It was a neat route that I hadn't been on before. There were great views of the Boise Foothills and the backside of Bogus Basin.
- Then Sunday evening we had a homemade sushi and Chinese food fest at G&G's to celebrate Alli's 29th Birthday. I always enjoy seeing our family and they were all of course happy to give you lots and lots of kisses.
