A Good Day

Today was a really good day. We've been going, going, going lately, and this morning we were all able to spend some quality time together. Robert is in a running class on Saturday mornings, so Claire and I ate breakfast and played until he got home. We had an appointment for Claire to get a haircut at 9:30, and after my last experience, I made sure to pick a time when Robert would be able to be there. Let's just say that Claire was Not Happy about having to sit still and have a strange woman touch her, but it went quickly and turned out well.

We enjoy going out for breakfast on Saturdays, and we decided to try a new place today - Twin Sisters Bakery. Claire was pretty wiped out from getting her new 'do and slept most of the time while we were eating. This gave Robert and I a chance to actually have a conversation over a meal. :)

On our way home we realized that we were not too far from the Quarry, and we'd heard that a new frozen yogurt shop, Red Mango, had opened there and they were giving away free servings today as part of a grand opening celebration. We got there right when they opened, and since we were some of the first in the door, we got gift bags with free t-shirts and other little goodies. A local radio station was there, and they snapped a photo of Claire as she bobbed along to the music. We enjoyed our free yogurt and will definitely be going back.

Last week we bought a new table and chairs for the dining area in the kitchen, and the delivery guys were supposed to come between 12 & 3, so we headed home. Robert got some rest while Claire and I played. She looked like such a big girl with her hair fixed.

The delivery went off without a hitch, and Claire and I headed to the mall to pick up a couple of things. She took a good nap while I browsed around in Jo-Ann's. We went back to the house for our regular routine, and Robert and I got in a movie ("Rachel Getting Married") after Claire went to sleep.

A perfectly ordinary, but perfectly nice day!
