The past week has been full of fun and exciting events. Last week, our friends Susan, Brad, and Dax, welcomed their second son/brother into the world. Rand was born via c-section on Thursday, the 17th. I went to visit Susan in the hospital that evening. She looked amazing, especially considering she had surgery that morning. Alanna and I went to visit them at home today, and they're all doing great. Congratulations to the Smith Family!

On Saturday night, Alanna slept in her "big girl" bed for the first time. We were thrilled that the transition went so smoothly. She has been sleeping through the night all week. Unfortunately, naps have been rocky, but I'm assuming that they will improve with time.

On Sunday, I met my friend Kirsten for lunch and shopping in San Mateo. It was great spending time with her. On Monday after our art class, another Davis friend, Jamie came down to have lunch with Alanna and me. Jamie is expecting her first daughter in April. I was happy to share some of the clothes and shoes that Alanna has outgrown with her, especially since they'll be too feminine for our little guy.

Tonight I'm taking the red-eye to NY to visit Grandma Sylvia. She hasn't been doing well for the past few months (dementia), so I'd like to spend some time with her. It's going to be a quick trip, I'm flying back on Sunday morning. I'll definitely be anxious to see Justin and Alanna.
