Wow, it's been a while since I got a chance to post. I'll try and pick up from where I left off and end up today.
So last Friday, shortly after I posted Gage's picture, I got a phone call from none other than Adam. He was in town to take an exam for law school and wanted to know what we had planned. So, we headed out to dinner with Adam and caught up on all the new and exciting things happening towards the end of law school.
Since Adam had taken the late night bus in from Philly, he ended up crashing at our place and then we headed out to Pamela's for breakfast. We ended up at the Shadyside Pamela's and then for nostalgia and curiousity, walked around the shops. There was a ton of new stuff, chief among them the Apple store. That's a toy store I could drop a lot of money in.
After the Shadyside tour, we headed down to the bus station and bid adieu to Adam with the notion that we needed to get back out to that area for a visit soon.
Sunday we got together with my uncles and my parents in order to celebrate my parent's birthdays (which although about a month apart had both been forgotten by my uncle...not that I can fault him for that. He forgets Terri's birthday which is the exact same day as his). So, anyway, we had a good afternoon over there and then the week started all over again.
The Penguins bookended a phenomenal game culminating in a shootout win against the top team in the Eastern Conference with two puzzling losses to teams that they should have dominated from start to finish.
Not much really went on through the week til Friday again. As I'm on the phone with Terri discussing the 5th or 6th incarnation of dinner with some of her extended family that was in for the Steeler's game (each version becoming more outrageous and expensive than the last), Susie popped up on IM and says that Elizabeth thought her water broke and baby Warner might show up a little sooner than anyone had expected. Turns out, baby Warner did show up before anyone expected. So, Saturday morning after an update call from Randy we headed into the hospital to see the newest addition to the Warner family. See pictures here.
So, we skipped dinner with Terri's family since the original intention was for everyone to hang out with Gage, but they then made several decisions that showed they had no idea how to plan dinner for a 1 1/2 year old. We watched the Pens lose and then attempted to get Gage into bed.
This morning we headed to church and then (due to poor planning again) rushed to Station Square to have lunch with some of Terri's family. They invited us to dinner before the Steeler's game at another fancy downtown restaurant. Of course we turned it down. You just can't take Gage somewhere like that in his current state of mind. His tolerance is about 25 minutes.
Apparently they have another dinner planned for Monday night. We have yet to agree or disagree, since it will change several times during the day tomorrow, I'm sure.
Also today is the 13th so I'll say...
Happy Birthday to Jim and...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSIE
And another congrats to the Warner family for their new little addition.
