Alaina and I headed for Mimi and Papa's house Thursday after work so that we could leave early to go see baby Celie who was born at 3:14 p.m. on Thursday (am I good or what?)
Friday morning we headed straight for the hospital (after a few missed exits and several stops for medicine, jewelry, Starbucks and other essentials ; ).
We all got to hold the baby, including Alaina, who really enjoyed it and even gave the baby an kiss.
We grabbed all you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster (yummy!) and headed back to make sure everything was ready for baby to come home. Alaina had a lot of fun teasing their cat (Rocco was less than cheerful about her attention) and tested out all of Celie's toys to make sure they worked.
I learned that you can find just about anything in Denver on Colorado Blvd or Colfax as I ran errands for the new parents to help them settle in. 
I took video of baby coming home, and then turned it into a "Blair Cat Project" movie, as I realized in the excitement that I had let the cat out of the house and he was making a break for it.
The next morning, Alaina and I went with Brett and Lucy the dog for a fun trip to the city park to chase geese.
We headed back to pack up, wished Anige and Brett a bit of a tearful goodbye, and with hardly a stir (and no missed exits) we made it back to Grand Island to eat with Papa and Uncle Scott who took Alaina down to look at the river.
I made it home to find Jeff working hard on the closet shelves. We are so close to being done I can feel it!
And then he mentioned maybe we should just do the office now too . . .
Oh well!
