The week after we returned from Myrtle Beach we enjoyed a visit from our friend Elizabeth and her daughter Phiala who were in town and able to have dinner with us. On Thursday we had lunch with Ellen and Sarah and then enjoyed a bit of shopping together. The sweater that Indigo is wearing is the first sweater I ever knitted and I made in the knitting classes I started taking while waiting for Indigo so it was really special to see her in it - even though it's still a bit big. For a non-football famlily we think it looks like she'll have a good throw. Indigo still does not have an abundance of words but she started saying baby and she is springing some big top and bottom molar teeth. Indigo has also really been enjoying collecting all the falling acorns - there has been a deluge of them this year. She likes to collect them in her basket and then toss them all out again so she was having fun doing this on our driveway. On Saturday morning Indigo had great fun pushing around the laundry basket and then sitting in it while I twirled her around - who needs toys? We had a surprise birthday party for a friend from work on Saturday early lunch time. It was a lot of fun and she was completely surprised. Indigo's party outfit is from her self-professed "number 1 fan" Terry, who I met through my work with her office at the PTO and also then personally through my friend Mary. We love this little pink corderoy dress. From the party I left to go and do a volunteer shift at the zoo and then met David and Indigo back at the house. We went to dinner at the home of the Gustafson's - what an amazing couple - they have five children! Number 4 kid ended up being twins so we're pretty in awe of them. Kathy is our financial advisor and over the years we have also become personal friends. They had another couple over who are pursuing adoption from China so that couple was very excited to see Indigo and talk to us about our experience. We had a terrific evening. On Sunday morning we went to the dog park with the dogs so that they could get a good run and then I went to the zoo for another zoo shift. My last of the season. It was a really fun shift because the cheetah brothers were really active and the two young Grevy zebras were very playful and were interacting a lot through the fence with the cheetah boys so I had a lot of interest and questions from the public.
