Big Weekend

Wow...Kate had a big weekend. We took her out for the first time for dinner and we had a great time. She was EXCELLENT!

On Friday, actually, I took her to lunch with two of my girlfriends to celebrate a birthday. That was her first restaurant visit. She was awake for most of it and then fell asleep toward the end. We were celebrating my good friend, Sue's birthday. Sue is a very generous and thoughtful person and HATES fuss and gifts for her birthday. She LOVES, however, giving to people who are less fortunate. So, my friend Donna and I took her to lunch and presented her with two huge gift bags full of coats for needy children that we bought to donate in her name for her birthday gift. It was the perfect gift to give Sue and she loved it...but the funny thing happened as we were leaving the restaurant. As we were leaving, some jackass at the bar looked at the large gift bags and said to Sue "well...I guess it's not a recession for you..." She smiled and sweetly told him what was in the bags. Boy did he feel like an ass. It was funny!

Saturday night, Jon and I took Kate to The Lucky Dog. For those of you who don't know, that is the place where we usually go every weekend for either a meal or just a nightcap. It's less than a mile from our house and we know everyone in there...so it's like Cheers in a way. She was the hit of the night...although she slept for the entire meal. It was fun. Go to flickr for pictures.

I'd write more, but I've got to feed Kate and then dash off to Target to buy her larger onesies. She's now in the 3-6 month size. Eeeeek!
