The Loss of a Legend

With a heavy heart tonight I post this link about the death of Hall-of-Famer Kirby Puckett - I grew up watching him & the Twins - most notably in '87 during the World Series season and again in '91. FP - do you remember 'haunting' the nature center in '87 during the world series for Matchbox Children's Theatre? That will always be a good memory in my mind.

Kirby suffered a stroke yesterday. He is 20 years younger than Steve's Dad and quite frankly - Steve's Dad is too young to be having a stroke. I will say a prayer tonight for Kirby & his family, and for Steve's Dad too.

And this, my 400th post.

WOO HOO for 400. And I'm sorry about Kirby. I can't believe he died so young. I was shocked by the news and by the news of Dana Reeve. So sad!

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!
