Today was a nicely lazy new years day. We slept late, and in the afternoon we went to check out Dad's boat. It was quite cold there at the marina, despite it being too warm to snow. The wind wasn't very strong, but it sucked out all the warmth from our fingers very quickly. Nothing like hanging around cold water in cold weather!
While up there, we thought we'd see if the outlet mall was open. Boy was it. It was thronged with people, and most of the stores were doing a bunch of business. We got a pair of jeans for me before getting sucked into the baby store. There Mom exerted her powers as Grandma-to-be to buy a bunch of cute clothes and hats and things ... including a bib that says "Cute but messy. Just like Daddy." I would protest, but its unfortunately true. After a hard day shopping,
Pui had trouble staying awake on the way home. You can see some of the little remaining snow in the background of the picture.
Tomorrow we get up early and - despite the predicted light dusting of snow - we are going to drive into Seattle and see the doctor for our first thorough check-up since we arrived in the states. We are both excited and nervous: we haven't seen any new images for a month, and aren't quite sure what to expect from the doctor. I'm sure it will all be fine: everyone we have spoken with so far has been very helpful.
