The Continuation of Our Species

Rather impossible to think of it in those terms when you find out you're going to be a Great Aunt Shelley!!! My sister is definitely not thinking, just feeling - and that's positively the best way to approach grandparenthood...what a rush!

I couldn't be happier for Nick and Natasha, and I'm beyond thrilled for Kim. I have a feeling 2010 is going to be a very, very good year!

It's time for me to stop using exclamation points...but it is a rather exclamatory (is that a word) day.

After my wake up call (thank you Nick - great way to wake up) I spent the morning preparing for and then watching our express shipment get packed. It's supposed to arrive by December 1st. We'll see.

This afternoon was an early release for Jake, I picked him up along with my friend's daughter Katrina. I then picked up Katrina's sister Elena at their house, took Elena to her orthodontic appointment and then took the bunch of them out for lunch.

Tonight was Jake's last Hapkido class before our return to La Paz. It was a good class. His classmates did 10 push-ups in his honour. Fortunately (unfortunately, according to Jake) he had to do 21 push-ups for two other birthday hapkido troopers.

The girls spent the evening out with friends. Nicole's home now but Lisette isn't expected quite yet. Jake's tucked into bed. We're halfway packed, at least. I'm going to a Great Aunt. :-)
