Brunch is for babies
We met Baby Alex today at brunch with Greg, Amanda, Erik, and Margaret. He’s SO cute. See?
And he was on his best behavior. He only fussed a little, and only right before we left the restaurant. Margaret and I are in love. With the baby. 🙂 (It was good to see Greg and Amanda, too.)
After we left our friends to head home, we stopped at Hole in the Wall Books, our favorite local used bookstore in Falls Church. It was supposed to be a quick stop (John’s looking for something in particular), but of course that didn’t happen. We chatted with the owner for a while about the snow, then we browsed (I found about 12 books right off the bat), and then we chatted some more while the owner rang us up. And since we were chatting, we took our time, and I found three more books. I love used bookstores.
We got back to the house much later than we originally expected (and yet, not at all annoyed by that because, come on, books and babies (and friends, right, can’t forget about them)), but the sun was still shining, so John disappeared into the basement to play his guitar and I took the dogs on a short walk (really cold). Walking the dogs is only noteworthy because of what I overheard. There were three girls playing on top of a mountain of snow in someone’s yard, and one of them said:
“I’m a 12-year-old girl, but my mom keeps telling me I have to be proper. I mean, I’m twelve.“
For a second, I thought she had to quoting from a movie or something. What mom would say that?
