A Day of Fun

Firstly, thank you all for your comments, emails, and facebook messages on my previous post. It helps to feel heard, it helps to feel supported, it helps to just get it all out sometimes. So thank you for letting me know you care -- it truly helps. As this seems to go, I felt much better later that day, snuggled Gwendolyn and hit the reset button so I could just focus on her. And after a good cry with Bill and then a good nights rest, on Saturday I woke up renewed -- which was fantastic because we had a wonderful, fun day!

To begin the day, we headed to Samantha's birthday party -- a Yo Gaba Gaba themed shin-dig. Samantha's fabulous parents really went to town with darling decorations and a giant bounce house. I squished through the tiny opening meant for two-year-olds, but Gwendolyn had an opportunity to bounce and so I was determined. She wasn't so sure about it, but was really keen to watch Samantha gleefully jump up and down. We had a great time hanging out with friends and watching little Samantha enjoy her special party.


After the party, we spur of the moment decided to head out to the wine country for a picnic. We knew Gwendolyn would sleep through the drive and then we could visit the mini horses when she woke up. We lucked out again and got to see the fabulous Maria at Quicksilver Ranch. Maria let Gwendolyn meet two new minis: Tipper and Raw Hide. Gwendolyn LOVED them!


And then on Saturday night, after Gwendolyn was sound asleep, I left Bill at home to meet my two awesome girl friends, Terri and Daalia for dinner. We had such a fun time gabbing away about every possible topic under the sun that we suddenly realized it was nearly midnight! I haven't had a night like that in such a long time and it was so fun!!! We were too busy chatting and forgot to take a picture -- we all looked super cute, too -- oh well. :)
