Today we decided to take an outing..just to blow the stink off and get out of the house. Dan's been really good about making sure that we all are keeping active. So, today we made the trip across the park and up to Haight Ashbury so that we could go to the music store for some Simon and Garfukle tunes for the piano and some art supplies from the craft store. We used this Moby wrap that I bought so that we didn't have to stroll her around the somewhat crowded street and gave Dan the closest sensation he will have to being pregnant. Maddie was content the whole time, just taking things in and remaining super chill. It's beautiful here in the city, so the sun shone and we were able to see the Blue Angels flying overhead while we walked around the park and up to the stores. We ended the outing by heading to our corner coffee shop for some chai before heading home.
As I am sure these pictures show, Maddie is just the apple of her daddy's eye..he has completely fallen in love with her and is all to happy to play the piano for her, watch her sleep, or hold her throughout the day. =) We both can not help but keep thinking about how adorable she is and are so thankful that we both have time to spend getting to know her and each other even better. It's SO NICE that Dan has about 4.5weeks off now and shortly thereafter we'll be heading to the east coast to see all of our family for a month! We can't wait! Although we are so glad to be here surrounded by such a wonderful community, we are certainly sad that we can not be with family in person to share our moments of "oh my goodness, can you believe she was just two cells 9 months ago" and "wow, look what she just did" etc etc, not to mention just letting her be held by people who already love her so much. We were talking about that today and reflecting on how thankful we are that we have families who are already so very invested in our little girl...we just can't wait to let her meet you all!
Of course, it must be mentioned that before we could even get out of the house, we had to spend a good 20 minutes chasing bun bun around. Normally, he's pretty good about getting into his cage all on his own, but we think he knows he's not the center of cuteness attention anymore (not to mention that we just terrorized him with a neutering a couple weeks ago) and he's becoming rather defiant. Oh well, he's a teenager with a someone stealing his limelight...he'll just have to deal with it!
Thank you to Oma and Opa for the beautiful flowers! We're so excited to see you in a few weeks!! AHHHH!YAY!=D
