Pancakes & Pebbles


Dahlia had her second trip to the Lion's Pancake dinner yesterday. Last year though? She pretty much slept in her car seat. This year she was ALL ABOUT THE PANCAKES. It is hectic and crowded and noisy as usual and it was a little difficult with a huge jogger (we walked) and no high chairs but we managed, somehow.

After the dinner we walked along the harbor & the canal; we saw our first big ship of the season. Dahlia wasn't too impressed but she did wave and say "bye bye" as it went past us.



We stopped at "pebble beach" and Dahlia had a BLAST. She could play with rocks For Ever. She had a great time. Also? She would've crawled right into the water if we had let her. We'll save that for a while....



It was a beautiful spring evening. We don't often get such nice nights during the summer so it was really nice that we were out and could take advantage of it!

I was in a meeting today with someone from Moose Lake. We spent at least 30 minutes talking the north shore. I'm so terribly homesick today I can't stand it. And that's not even technically "home"!!!

She's a lucky ducky kid for growing up there.

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!
