Social Calendar!

An update on Morgen's recent social outings and lessons learned: I over-programmed Morgen's life this week, taking her to a play date every day. Tal and Eowyn on Monday, Vanessa and Yen on Tuesday, Luisa, Emma, and Sara on Wednesday. It goes on. On Thursday, Morgen met her honourary Auntie Nicole for the first time (pic below). And on Friday, we dropped in on our friends at the Toronto Children's Chorus before spending some quality time with Rowan and Angela. On the positive side, we feel extremely fortunate to have so many good friends near by. On the negative side, Morgen has been teething, and her busy social life has had her teething all over Toronto this week. Chewing up a storm in the big city isn't always as much fun as it might sound. Next week will be more sedate. I have more than learned this lesson. I'm also including another picture of Morgen and Gavin at the Junction Arts Festival because it is just so cute. Isn't it? Gavin's post below tells more about our short ramble at that local event.

Play it again, Morgen

At the end of Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart's character says the immortal line: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Well, today we witnessed the beginning of a new friendship for Morgen, as Tal and Kate brought their six-month-old daughter Eowyn over for a visit. The two babes got along famously ... OK, so Eowyn stared curiously at Morgen, and Morgen mostly slept, but we are sure that when the time comes, these two girls will have a grand time together.

The other piece of news is this: Morgen is one month old today! To celebrate, she had a birthday bath and topped it off with a lovely meal at Chez Mama. This is certainly a birthday she will remember until ... well, maybe until tomorrow.
