Take your Daughter to work day



So guess where we went today? I had some paperwork to do so I went in. Mother and daughter were up to the visit so off we went. There were approximately 150 people that were very anxious to see her. They ooohed and ahhhed over her. They told us she looks just perfect (she does) and asked if she was a good baby (she is).
They were also amazed at how well the FP Gal looks. It's hard to believe that she just gave birth less than a week ago. She is up and getting around just fine. Stitches aren't giving her very much trouble anymore.
It's been a good day even though everyone is now tired. These pictures are of 'Relia napping in the family crib. She's the 47th child to sleep in it (number may not be accurate). I think the tradition goes back about 40 years and we're glad to add to it.

Actually, Aurelia is the 14th baby to use the cradle. Josiah was #13. If you turn over the bottom (when she's not in it, of course), you will see each baby's name and the date. Hans, you and Heidi all used it.
She is so beautiful! I can't wait to see her this weekend and my friends are looking forward to meeting you, Sarah and Aurelia when you bring her to my office next week. :-)

I hate it when people ask "Is she/he a good baby?". I mean, c'mon, how can a baby be BAD?! Of course, she's a good baby! She looks very different from her newborn pictures already. I think I see some Josiah and Annika in her chin and lips. Which is to say, she has a De For chin and lips.

2024 Olympics?

Next week the US Olympic Committee will decide if they'll bid on the 2024 Olympics (I'm betting they will) and may decide on which city they'll put forth to host.  There are four cities on the host list: Boston Los Angeles San Francisco Washington DC I've long believed that if the US bids on 2024, they will win.  The US hasn't hosted an Olympics since Salt Lake City in 2002 and no summer games since Atlanta in 1996.  Given the importance that the US has, particularly in funding, a 28 year gap is a huge one. So who gets the nod?  I have absolutely no insider knowledge but I'd like to make some guesses.  Pure speculation to follow. San Francisco is an interesting choice.  The Bay Area is certainly beautiful.  I'm guessing (I haven't checked into it) that there are enough venues in NoCal to satisfy the sporting requirements.  Between the professional teams (six?) and the number of big time colleges, there must be.  Throw in the big mo...

Box Elder Bugs

Yesterday morning's breakfast started badly. I'd split my bagel in half and was ready to toast it when I noticed a BOX ELDER BUG sitting on the toaster. The FP Gal tried to help remove him but it looked like he went into one of the slots. Not cool. She then shook out the toaster over the garbarge while I helpfully supervised from the other side of the kitchen. After that we couldn't see it in the toaster. So...we did a test run to smoke it out. Nothing. After careful inspection I finally toasted my bagel. Carefully checked it for embedded insect. Found it clean and ate it. Whew! This morning I sliced my bagel. And found another Box Elder bug on the toaster. The FP Gal was still asleep so I had to take care of it myself. Kleenex over mouth, eyes barely open and a quick paper towel latter it was gone. Seriously, if I find another one tomorrow we have to sell the house.
