Anyways, I have to pay tribute to my college girls Farrell and Welby who came for a fun-filled weekend last week (yes, we call each other by our last names...they live in Jersey, so I have to act tough around them...hahaha).
When they first arrived on Friday, we proceeded to lunch where I had to breasfeed Max in the middle of the restaurant (it's a bar, really), then on to dinner with three couples, three new babies, and two married women starting to consider having kids. I think its safe to say we may have delayed that plan! The moment we walked in, Max started wailing - he had gotten a shot that day and was uber-cranky. He doesn't cry much these days and he almost ALWAYS stops after a minute or two but this went on...Meanwhile, baby Zachary was playing on the floor and Luca came in with a case of the cranks too. Poor girls - Welby says she felt like she had landed on planet Mars. In fact, when she slowly waved a toy in front of Max's face (which finally made him stop crying), I don't know who was more pacified - he or the girls. NOTE TO PEOPLE THINKING OF HAVING KIDS: Don't spend an extended period of time around a newborn...ignorance is bliss!! (everything is different when its YOUR baby, I promise).
Soon enough, though, they were in the swing of things and POURING their love all over Max...he is such a lucky boy to have so much love, especially from two of my favorite peeps in the world! They also took me for my second "girls night out" (Charlie babysat). This time I had THREE mojitos and stayed out till 1 a.m. (my latest so far). The next day I was the one with a case of the cranks...but it was awesome.
Their last night was my perfect night-before-first-day-of-work dinner. Good food, good friends, good family (Eli too), I couldn't have asked for more. You girls promised this will be an annual trip, I'm gonna hold you to that!!
