Sunday Morning

*sigh* Just recovering from a late night. Why do I do this? I am too old to be up until 3am. Just too old. But it was fun. We went to a Thai restaurant for Steve's Mom's 60th birthday. She loved the necklace & earrings that Steve & I picked out for her and the dinner was good. Afterwards Steve & I went on the LakeWalk and sat enjoying the warm summer evening, the waves of the big lake crashing in front of us and the view of the lift bridge in the distance. It was a beautiful night. We met up with his sister, bro-in-law, brother and some friends for drinks at Sir Ben's where we could sit outside and soak up as much summer as possible. From there it was to our own home outdoor cafe where A & I lit some sparklers and had more beer (so unnecessary at this point)...and then Steve & I stayed up even longer, talking, breathing, enjoying.....*sigh* And then it was 3am and I needed sleep in a big bad way..... Sometimes you just have to stay up and squeeze the most out of a day that you can....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
