While we were in the city we got to meet up with some of our good friends AMY & DANILO!  Remember here, when they came to visit us?

We hadn’t yet got to meet the newest addition to their family…..CLAIRE bear! This little girl is tooooo cute for words! I had a good time practicing my photoshop skills with some of her pics. I am still a work-in-progress…but I think this one turned out adorable! Maybe it’s just the subject! I shouldn’t give myself too much credit.

I just can’t get over how darling she is and P couldn’t have agreed more. He absolutely adored her! He had the most fun tickling her toes! We’ll be doing okay in this department as long as the tickling stays at the toes! ha! If I hosted a “Wordless Wednesday” segment…this would definitely be my Wordless Wednesday photo. Just for fun….what would you name it?

I guess since he saw Claire laying in the bouncer he thought he needed a turn too. I turned around to see……

THIS!

Gotta play fair right?  Oh P, you silly boy you!

We also had the pleasure of meeting some of Amy and Dan’s friends. They were SUPER sweet!

Heather, Amy, Liz, Me, & baby Claire

The best part is I actually found out that Liz is one of my loyal blog readers! How cool is that? I often wonder if anyone out there is still reading this thing (haha!).  Sometimes statcounter is just not convincing!  It was nice to meet someone who ACTUALLY IS reading! She said she felt like she already knew me! How cool is that!  We girls “blog” talked all night while the men just looked as us like we were crazy. Not crazy because we blog, but crazy because we were talking about people and their blogs like they were are bff’s (even though we have never ever met them). One of these days we are gonna have to become as cool as MckMama and host a McCruise so we can all meet in person! Gawd I would love that!

Did you all watch DWTS last night? I’m debating whether I should replace my Bachelor recaps with DWTS recaps?? I feel like I need to do something to replace the whole in my heart now that the Bachelor is over!  Speaking of which….

I love all of the comments that I get….I really do! You have no idea…it makes my day so much brighter!

However, there are those few commenters out there (you know who you are), who just seem to be unable to play nice.

Here is a comment I received on my Bachelor Finale post:

Reader:  “What would you expect from a show based on finding love in a couple of weeks and why would you care!”

Me (thinking out loud): Really? Did this reader just ask “and why would you care”???

Should I explain to her that I am clearly not the ONLY one who cares. Apparently, she must care too if she took the time to read my Bachelor post. I mean, last time I checked I don’t spend my time reading posts about nuclear missles so why would she read my Bachelor post if she didn’t care?

And as if I am the only person in America who cared??? Is that why every news station from here to China covered the story? And does she think I am naive enough to think that The Bachelor equals fairy tale endings? No. The Bachelor equals drama drama drama….which is why it has millions of viewers and is one of ABC’s top rated shows.

Someone needs to do a post on blog etiquette because if I don’t like something someone is saying on their blog….there’s  that little red X button in the top right corner of my screen and that seems to be quicker, classier, and way more effortless than leaving a rude comment. O-well, I’ll take the ugly with the good….and most of you are GOOD!
