My New Year's weekend started off with a lunch and shopping excursion with my good friend, Sara and her new baby, Drew. I met Sara living in Greenville prior to either of us having kids. Sort of weird how both of our lives have changed so much in such a short period of time.

Later that night our Winston-Salem friends arrived with their baby, Henry. Jess, Avery, Joseph, and I had a memorable dinner conversation. Topics of conversation included placentas, crazy court cases, and Ferber's methods for getting babies to sleep. Jess enjoyed the white bean-chicken chili I made while Avery ate his dependable, gluten-free meal brought from home. I guess our REALLY well done steak cooked for Avery's last visit was enough to convince him he needed to bring his own food on future visits.

New Year's Eve day was fairly uneventful. I can't remember much because Seth didn't sleep well the night before and I was exhausted. I was in bed by 9:30 PM. I'm told Joseph stayed up past midnight and finished the book he was reading.

NewYear's Day we went out to eat for breakfast to our favorite breakfast place, The Early Girl Eatery and to my surprise, didn't have to wait for a table!!! Following breakfast we all went for a hike. Jedi even came along with us for the adventure.. What a great beginning to 2012.
