goings on

I didn't get a chance to blog on Thursday, so Happy Bastille Day!!! Last year I was in Paris with AlisonF, and it was way fun. This year I contented myself with a baby shower.

My cousins in Lancaster threw us a baby shower and many friends from the area came. It was a lot of fun to be seeing people again. People I've mostly gotten to know over series of school breaks at home. These handful of people, though, I always genuinely looked forward to seeing again, and I was touched that they would come out after all these years to celebrate Ellis's birth. And Ellis got quite a haul, too. All stuff we could use/needed, so that was great! One lady even sewed the most adorable overalls with a sailboat on them for him!!! We spent the night in Lancaster, (Ellis's first sleep over!) and came back yesterday.

This morning, my phone rang, and my fabuloso friend Sarah called to say she was on the NJ Turnpike on her way from Connecticut to Chattanooga. She stopped in for an hour. It was so fun to see her!! I'm so glad she'll be a short driving distance away now, since she's moving to CT.

Not much else going on. It's nice to have a bit more energy. Will be nicer to get out of maternity clothes.

Jeannette...

Are you guys not in New Orleans anymore? In New Jersey? Where abouts? I'm in NYC. I ran into Sarah at St. Elmo while in Chattanooga a few weeks ago. Could you send me her contact info, email or whatever?

How are you guys? Ellis is beautiful.

Are you teaching, done with graduate work? What about your husband? Is he still teaching?
