Saturday

Today was a long and fun day; the high point was a wonderful visit with old friends in Rochester as they prepare for the arrival next month of their first baby. Thanks to their parents' need to get to Rochester today, neither Julia nor Genevieve was able to take a nap today - sorry, girls! But both of them held up well.

I knew the day had been a good one when, just before I passed G. off to her mama for her evening nursing, she buried her little apple-cheeked face in my neck and slobbered all over my shoulder - unabashed, total love.

A few minutes later, with Gigi asleep, Julia reinforced my sense that all was well. We were playing quietly in her room, basically just killing a few minutes until her bedtime. She interrupted the long process of choosing a fwiend for bed by suddenly walking back to me and saying, "High five, Daddy!" Laughing, I gave her a high five; she smiled and went back to her pile of toys.
