Oh the places you've been . . . sorry you missed it!

Nan loves to talk about the wonderful places she and Papa took me and Amy when we were young. We never remember them and she sighs and says "what a waste". I figure if she can "claim" (Nan doesn't know how to get online, I'm safe) to have taken us to all these wonderful places, then I can do the same.

So, Twaxton (I'm tired, I'm running out of names - you come up with something) here are all the places you've gone while in utero . . . sorry you won't remember any of it.

California - At about 6 weeks, right when I'd found out I was pregnant I traveled to Cali for work. I was out of utero and didn't see much.

School - I finished my MBA and graduated. Your father thinks this counts as your higher education, I don't agree.

The Lake House - We've been to the Lake a few times - this is one place you will probably spend a lot of time and hopefully remember fondly as you grow.

Reds & Bengals games - One of each. The teams may suck, but when we get free tickets we're there to support them!

St. Thomas - Luckily you didn't need a passport yet. We had a great time and you gave me your first real kick on this trip.

WEBN Fireworks - Mommy almost ended up in jail for manslaughter, but it would have been justified - everyone knows you don't mess with a 7 month pregnant woman. Especially one that's a little more unstable by nature.

If the doc says it's okay, you'll be going to Chicago next week as well. Aunt Jamie is going to China and she has a day layover in ChiChi. This is simply an excuse to shop for you at Ikea. Although I'm not looking forward to the drive with you on my bladder, I guess seeing AJ will make it worth it (she does know how to get online, so I have to say that).

I personally am hoping the whole thing is a farce to get me out of the house so "While You Were Out" can come in and make you a kick-ass room, but I'll play dumb so I don't ruin the surprise.
