And a certificate for baby sitting for when they are ready (i.e. need) to spend a few hours out together.

And congrats to you, stb uncle!

SS, decided to forgo the trip out your way this year. I have reservations to go to San Diego Thanksgiving weekend. Family vacation from Wednesday to Saturday. Big surprise for DD too. We booked her a trainer in training at Sea World. She gets to get wet with the Dolphins.

Things are going well. We are happy most of the time. Not sure anyone can say ALL the time.

*Great* idea, FF. I hope I have time. Let's see... enchiladas, lasagne. Everybody likes those.

Are women fussy eaters sometimes, just after they've had a baby? If I remember correctly, my SIL normally doesn't like things with... how to put this... uh, flavor.

GC, avoid a lot of strong spices as it passes to the baby in the breast milk. So go easy on the garlic and onions. I love your ideas, they sound yummy.

BTW, both FF, and Aph had great ideas. Prepared meals are a BIG HELP. When our twins were born, we had people bringing us meals for two weeks. It was nice. We could concentrate on the babies schedule, and getting enough rest, not on fixing food.

Stuff that's easy and can be warmed up any time. I think both of your ideas are good, but ask if you wonder.


FF,
SD sounds like fun !
I bet your DD will love it. We have one that likes animals, and I know she would.

It's easy to tell from your posts that you are doing better. You don't sound stressed, and you give advice with confidence. Keep it up !!

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

And hearty soups that freeze well - black bean soup, great northern bean soup with ham, etc.

Don't forget about that little bottle of pink stuff (Kimmy I know you remember the name). I didn't find out about it until P was 4 months old and she was very colicky! It was such a life saver, so if the little guy is colicky get them some of that pink stuff.

It is so nice to stop by and see the flames of Grays camp-fire burning brightly!

Don't take a chance on the cigar Gray, it's not worth a relapse!

Faith, I'm so happy things are going well (mostly) and that your DD gets to "swim with the dolphins"! How fun for her!

I hope you guys have a really good time. I'll take "mostly" good because that is a start and you know what? If you concentrate on the good times, they will expand. What ever we concentrate our mental energy on expands.

Waving to Weaver. How's my favorite Yooper???

Do I have this right, GC is making dinners for a soon to be mother???

Seriously, and this guy is still single??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Lasagne and enchiladas are always two of the dishes I make for new moms. I also have this great chicken foil dinner, it freezes easy, and is easy to prepare, so they have a freezer dinner as well.

Yep, Jel GC is quite a catch and still single!

*waving madly at Weaver* How are you and P? Yes, I am happy with mostly. We are so far from where we were.

Hi Faith! Hi jelly!

If you give me the great foil chiken recipe, I'll give you the best oatmeal, choco chip cookie recipe in the world. BTW, I was reading your silly thread earlier and saw you guys talking about Chicken Savoy! Hah, I have a good one for that. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm getting ready to move next summer jelly. Going west a bit, to a really cool city. Leaving my 20 year career so I have been spending all my extra time trying to figure out ways I can work for myself. Concentrating on getting rich now. I never in a million years ever thought I would make money a top priority, but I can't do what I want with my life if I have to slave at a 9 to 5'r all the time.

And I have P back with me all the time now as her Dad took an engineering job in Holland and moved.

Life is wonderful these days. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> you have P full time again? How awesome is that? I am sorry about her dad moving out of the country though. That must hurt.

So, Weavs is this move related to a certain someone?

Yes and no Faithers! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

After what happened with what's his face, I had decided to move. Not only because of him and the island property, and the sound of the ferry horn and my beautiful Lake Superior and all that other good stuff, but because there is just no opportunity here... poor schools, high alcoholic/depression rate, lots of drug use, teen pregnancy, etc and I wanted to get P and myself out of here. Time for a better way of life I think.

Hey every1. Hey weaver, those familiar sights are a hassle for me too, but they haven't driven me away yet.

Yep Jel, I'm on the market. Guess I'm just overqualified.

Tonight I'm playing at an awards banquet, but something bit me and my eye's swelled shut. Good thing there's sunglasses.

Oh no, not the John Travolta thing again. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Remember the thread last year about this same thing 2long? We all really thought that you guys were going dancing. LOL

Gray,

That may very well be, but you already live in a cool city. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, 2long. I'm giving a talk this year.

I do live in a good city. If it was warm, everybody would live here. Who's been to Vancouver? That's another good one.

Weaver, are you moving to Sconnie, you devil?

Yep, that's where I'm going. I really like that place, at least in the summer. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Will there be DVD distribution of your seminar/talk/meeting/dance (what ever it is? It would be cool to see all of your presentations (I think..would it?)

Hi Weaver !!!!

Hi 2long !!!!

Hope you guys are happy, and well.
I almost said rich, and famous too, but I don't know if you want/need that.
