Friday Wrap-Up
Well, you guys are an interested-in-adopting bunch, aren't you? I've received several e-mails with reference to this post, and asking me specific questions about Alternatives in Motion and Alex's adoption. This makes me happy. Good luck to those of you who will pursue this. To those of you who are thinking about it one way or another, I strongly encourage you to e-mail me directly for the 4-1-1 on our adoption experience.
In other news: this weekend, we're off to Grand Riviere to see the giant leatherback turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. While I'm told our lodgings will be "rustic" (and I admit it, I'm not a particularly "rustic" kinda gal), the photo opportunities sound exceedingly promising. I will try my damnedest to capture the look on Alex's face when she lays eyes on one of these. Should be interesting.
In other news: on Tuesday, after we get back, Alex will start "school" for the first time. She's truly craving interaction with other kids, and I found an amazing daycare right near my gym. So on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while I'm pumping iron, Alex will be learning how to play nice with others. Say a little prayer to the Cooperation and Sharing gods for us, wouldja?
And finally, because so many of you have talked about how Alex "lights up" in front of a camera, I thought I'd leave you with a short photo montage indicating that maybe not so much:
See you next week.
she is such a doll !!

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Seeing the leatherback turtles lay their eggs is like, on my top five coolest life experiences EVER list!
It is SOOO worth a rustic night or two. (We actually did a round-trip overnight with no sleeping at all, all the way from SF.)
Have fun.

Nope! still adorable. I don't think she could take a bad picture. Ditto Shannon. You are going on my dream vacation. I can't wait to see pictures.

Alex cannot take a bad picture. Seriously, I'm a tough audience. Most little kids are not beautiful, especially when they're really little, in my opinion. They just look sort of fat & squashy & colicky. But Alex is CHARMING, charismatic, outgoing, joyous, intense, exuberant, beautiful even when she's scowling. She really does look like a bundle of joy. Also your husband is totally totally hot. Damn, I wish I had your life, what with the leatherback turtles & tropical paradise and all.
