This past weekend my friend Lisa from grad school came for a visit, after the canceled trip due to me getting so sick in November. It had been almost a year since we had seen one another and in that time lots has changed in both our lives. Lisa lived a weekend in my life since we didn't do too much more than love and play with Olivia. Well, not exactly a typical weekend in my life since Olivia isn't usually such a bad napper. I think she was just too excited about Lisa being here that she didn't want to sleep. Three naps a day since Lisa left.
Nicholas watched Olivia Saturday night so we could sneak off to a movie and have some girl time without baby girls. Lisa's flight was canceled on Sunday because of the winter storm in Chicago, so we got one more day to spend together and then it was off to the airport at 4:45 AM on Monday morning.
Before that, though, Olivia showed Lisa how to play with blocks:
And how to love dogs, which Lisa already knew since Ringo remembered her and kind of wanted to go home with her:
It was great to see you, Lisa! I miss you! Jay, where is that worm whole when we need it?
Thank you for adding these posts. It's great to see Olivia grow up even if it is long distance.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I'm all about the wormhole idea. I started thinking about teleportation years ago, but as our bodies may not handle the trip (think acceleration and splat), not to mention the soul/essence problem. Finding a controlled way to bend space time would be awesome. I've thought that you could put a device in a doorway, dial a location, and go to another doorway. Maybe that's too much like stargate. I think initial testing wouldn't be quite that precise. I'm not even sure if you could totally control where you ended up. If it were possible, I think one day businesses and houses will have them. Driving could be leisurely again.
