Baby Kameryn

SUCH a good day. Shopping, snow falling, and dinner with friends. I FINALLY got to see little baby Kameryn tonight, and I had so much fun! I kept telling Kjersti this, but I swear, I'd never get anything done with her! I'd be having too much fun playing with her. She was so HAPPY, so giggly, so much fun. We got several "Dada"'s, lots of babbling, and I even got the famous Kameryn-wet-kiss!!! Which, bytheway, is fabulous. Kjersti had mentioned that it may take a bit of warming up to get her going, but we must have found the magic button, because she was so fun from the very beginning. It's so fun to see Kjersti and Jay with her, you can totally see how much they love her, and how much fun they have with her. She's certainly a well-adjusted, well-rounded baby, and you can only credit that to the parents. Thanks SO much for bringing her over, and letting us go nuts with her. I think I may have overwhelmed her with all the strange new McDonald's toys. We've got um, quite a lot, and I just kept pulling more out, trying to top the last. She thoroughly enjoyed the pink play cell phone, and the squishy whale. Both were plated meticulously....(only a choice few will get that.....). Such big eyes, big grin, and adorable black peach fuzz. She's perfect Kjersti!!! I can't wait to see her again in just a month! Oh yeah...and bytheway....SO fun to hang out. We had several um, distractions, so we didn't get to talk about all the deep down dirty stuff, but I'm sure that will come out next time. :) P.S. Cute Kameryn pics will soon follow......

Now that I'm done gushing (and um, yeah. I want one!!! :) ) I can say a little something about the weather today. I know, I know. Totally boring right?! WRONG!!!!!!!! We went from just insanely freezing, to rain. Then to little snow pellets. But the bizzare part? Major thunder and lightning. It's certainly not every day that you see snow coupled with thunder and lightning, and it was pretty insane. Perfect night for gettin' cozy with friends. It makes me super excited for Christmas, which is, hello, less than a month away. And all that Christmas shopping I did today? Didn't get a single gift. Should PROBABLY think about starting the shopping. I've been trying to figure out what to give out as little gifts this year, you know, the neighbor ones, your landlord....the people who end up giving you a gift when you've TOTALLY forgotten about them? Those gifts. I would LOVE to make that old fashioned candy - you know? The ribbon one? Hard candy, with different stripes? Old fashioned? I don't know if I could pull it off...but we'll see. Maybe it would be a fun post? Tune in next time, to read all about how she scalded herself making Christmas candy!

We're leaving tomorrow. Back to Cali, back to the real world, where I have to make dinner and feed the mutt. Out of the 20 degree weather, out of the wonderful dryness that my hair so much adores. My lips are certainly excited, that's for sure. They've been sucking up every bit of my Burt's Bee's chapstick, and they're STILL a dead-ringer for the salt flats. Ah well. At least we have Christmas to look forward to, right? Again, I LOVE this time of year.

I wonder if the Free-Cable-Police will be waiting for us.......

I also wonder what sort of vermin will have attached itself to our mutt's fur........
