Good Wine, Good Food, Good Night

My ridiculously remarkable friend Sarah sent me an email last night saying that Steve & I were GOING on a date tonight and to go to Bellisio's (the nicest Italian restaurant in town) and that they would "take care of us."

So we went. And we feasted and we had amazing wine and we sat and relaxed and talked and had a great time. We each ate a lot of food but not too much to feel gross; have leftovers for tomorrow a-plenty and ordered TWO bottles of said wine...Chardonnay 2003 I believe. Delish. I have a lovely wine buzz and although Steve is off to spend the night at his Dad's house (he & his brother are taking turns over this weekend when Roger is home) I am so happy that we got to spend an evening OUT together and ALONE. It was heavenly.

Sarah & Jeff, thank you so much. Your kindness & generosity mean the world to us and is greatly appreciated!!!!

I figured it out....

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!
