3 weeks old

Mom and TJ visitied for 10 days and Dad came for the last 4 days. Had our first dinner out with Everett at La Fiesta. She slept through it so we were brave enough to eat out at Sisters, Flying Biscuit and BJ's to celebrate Dad's 60th birthday. Tried out lots of different slings and Everett was very vocal about her opinions of them. Seems to like the moby wrap okay (when she's asleep). We'll keep working on it. We went on lots of walks to Starbucks and walked the Devil's Millhopper. Patrick and Dad spent an entire day installing shocks on the SUV and now she rides like a cloud. Everett met Oona and Curtis and Scott for the first time and we had two nice visits with Oona and Curtis. Everett volunteered for the school of midwifery as a "healthy newborn" for them to learn the newborn exam. Patrick and I were invited to the question and answer time at the midwves cooperative prenatal classes for the next group of parents to be. I went to the mom's meet-up at the midwives office and met some nice women there. Everett is enjoying new girlie clothes from aunt Stef and cousin Lucy, especially the little sun dresses. She likes batting at the hanging toys on the play mat and spends more time awake now. She likes baths and laying on her changing table listening to music and looking at the picture cousin Hank painted. She weighs 11 pounds now.
