the way we were

asher did not sleep 7 hours straight and avery came in for a middle of the night visit. luckily she went right back to sleep and asher eats while half asleep so he goes right back down. i went right back to sleep too. man, how many times can i use "right back".

on the plus side, i'm trying a new coffee creamer this morning - southern butter pecan. yummy! i used to suffer through black coffee many a night at cafe brazil b/c hey, that's how you're supposed to drink it. let's get real, black coffee tastes like crap. whiten that baby up and you're in business.

Hump day highlights: great things that have happened so far this week!

1. Shawn is given a very nice bass guitar by a friend at church who has lots of "toys". He was wanting to purchase one b/c he's had his current bass for over 10 years and it wasn't that great to start with. Upon researching the brand of guitar, he learned that Adam from U2 plays the same brand - can't get any better than that for Shawn. He's giddy and we're grateful to our friend.

2. Had a nice dinner with old friends. Always good to catch up -also, celebrated the approaching arrival of nephew.

3. Had a great lunch at Lawry's the Prime Rib to celebrate a dear friend's birthday - and they treated!

4. Avery is feeling back to normal.

5. Met some new neighbors.

6. Have actually been getting our Neighborhood Life hours.

7. Got Readers Digest in the mail yesterday and it's the humor issue. that means there is twice as much funny stuff in there. i love the funny stuff!
