baby makes three

no, not me you silly geese.

when i arrived home yesterday there was a baby shower invitation waiting for me. my cousin (one of many...i have so many cousins) and her husband are expecting their first child in two months. i guess it's baby year again. last year was weddings (i attended three and there were a few more in my extended circle) and the year before that was babies. it seems to alternate. i recall reading somewhere that once you hit a certain age your life becomes a series of bridal showers, weddings, and baby showers. well la-dee-da.

i was gonna do a vacation part 3 post but i changed my mind. without going into too much detail, i saw my dad for the first time in a long time on christmas day along with my half brother and sister (and their children). numbers were exchanged and promises to keep in touch were made. i can honestly say i'm open to it although i haven't quite come to grips with being an auntie yet.
