More Visitors

Friday brought the visit of KATE to Duluth! I haven't seen her since....what did we decide...1992? The fateful trip that Laurie, Meigan & I made to visit Kate at Drake. Ay yi yi - we tried to reconstruct that trip - something about a pizza place, a frat party, the stalls in the dorm bathroom and a possible trip to the Des Moines zoo...? Anyone? Anyone? It's rather fuzzy. I'll have to dig out some photos....


Anyway - it was fabulous to see Kate. We had a great time just talk-talk-talking for hours and hours on end. She adored my baby and earned mucho bonus points for that! We sat outside til we were both quite sleepy on Friday night just catching up. It was really cool though because it didn't feel like it had been so damn long. It was really really nice. Saturday we took Dahlia out to Pizza Luce for some yummy breakfast, I gave her a mini-tour of Duluth and then she was on her way!


Next time I must get her to stay for longer so we can go hiking or canoeing, working on something crafty - and oh yes, talk.

Of course, I had to look oh so pretty for the camera. Yuck! Good thing Dahlia's so beautiful! Loved meeting her and seeing you and ALL OF THAT FUN! It was wonderful and I can't wait to do it again!

Kinda sorta remember the pizza parlor. Um, I'm afraid I do remember the frat party - it was my first one & I took full advantage, I recall... And the zoo? Maybe I remember? Jeez - that was almost 15 years ago, guys.

We are so due for a reunion.

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!
