Papaya and I made soup tonight. Not the grown-up edible kind, no no,
the kind where you take all the wooden food your Mother has bought
you and bring it to her one by one as she stirs an empty soup pot.
Let me tell you, she was very proud of her corn/potato/broccoli/
carrot/blueberry combination and heck - in real life, it might not
suck too much. Except maybe the blueberry, that might not work.
Adventure Dad also came home at a reasonable hour, for him, around 6 p.m.
After a long day out with friends at the Sugarloaf Craft Festival,
Papaya and I were pooped and agreed to sit on the couch with him and
watch Finding Nemo. This is an exciting night at Chez Petzoldt, and
I was not going to mess with that.
Tomorrow, my parents come to town. I’m very excited to show them
“my” new town and to have two weeks of company. Papaya gets bored of
me, and sometimes (don’t tell) I of her. It is always fun to be able
to have others to interact with and I’m sure they will be impressed.
Papaya will wake them up with a bright “hello!” each morning and over
breakfast she’ll tell them about her “daa dee” and such, later we’ll
spot all “dawgs” out there and make sure to parrot any words others
might say. Each time we leave something she’ll remind them with a
happy “buh byeee” and they will know that, if nothing else, their
grandbaby has manners! Oh what fun it will beeee

I'm going to be like Tom Cruise by Papaya Mom on April 26th, 2006
and get Invisalign Braces! I’ve got some teeth tipping in at the middle of my lower mouth and a bit of crowding at the front, nothing that 20 weeks of braces can’t fix! I’m excited as the tipping teeth had me a bit worried, although it seems to be genetic, it is nice to know I can fix them! Maybe when it’s all over, out of my own pocket of course because United Concordia sucks, I’ll spring for some teeth whitening to take care of those years of smoking in my youth.

Mmmm… corn/potato/broccoli/
carrot/blueberry soup. Sounds dee-licious! ;]
It will be really nice for you to have your ‘rents in town… especially since they seem like cool, fun, helpful parents!
Trust me, I’m really looking forward to my mom coming into town in a couple weeks!
You’ll have to ask Maya if she’s willing to share her family secret recipe ’cause that soup sounds good!
And yay for family! I know what you mean about having other personalities to interact with. I notice with our family that when we all get together there’s this wonderful dynamic…but if one person is missing (whether it be a run to the store or they couldn’t make the gathering) it’s just not the same! It’s so good to have everyone around
