FINALLY!

It finally snowed - real snow, not melt-right-away-snow - yay! 9.5 inches at the airport, slightly less here but I don't care I love it! It's soooo beautiful - all Christmassy and just begging to be played in. It's warm (30-32) so it's slushy & messy as hell but would be perfect for making snowmen....The streets are hardly plowed yet, but I'm pretty used to that. The alley won't be plowed for days so no holding breath there. I did slide part way down Mesaba Ave headed dangerously close (IMO) to a light pole but luckily the natural Minnesota-driver-instincts kicked in and I was able to turn out of it and straighten up. Luckily the truck behind me saw and took note and slowed down. Fun fun fun.

Snowshoeing possibly up the shore this weekend where they got 24 inches (so far) - lucky ducks.

Yea! We might get some snow this weekend too, but it won't be that much, if any shows up at all.

Have fun snowshoeing!

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!
