Last night CDF had a “girls night out” with Kristen. They went to the Atlanta Bread Company restaurant at Mayfair. CDF said they had a great time and only left because the restaurant was getting ready to close.

Last night was also the only day that we could find to invite Dom and Heidi over for supper. It worked out though. I made tacos, and CDF doesn’t really care for them anyway. On a side note the tacos came out really well. I used the McCormicks taco mix in the meat and had cheese, sour cream, and salsa as toppings.

MDF was wound up already from playing during the afternoon, and it kept on during the evening. She had a blast being silly with Dom, and playing with Heidi.

But even though MDF played hard during the evening, she was very good about winding down. We had a snack like usual at 7:40, and then I put her in bed at 8:00. She asked for her babies, but then only made noises — not crying, just talking — for about ten minutes.

Overall, it was great evening.

Dom is now working with me again. Many months ago he applied at CFCC and it wasn’t until the end of December that he was offered the job. But I think it was worth the wait.

It didn’t take him (and Amber) long to find an apartment here in Wilmington. He’s living off Randal Parkway in a nice two-story townhouse. CDF and I saw it without furniture, but it still looked like they made a good choice.

Lately we’ve been able to each lunch together, but I don’t normally see him much otherwise. He’s off working on computers and I’m holed up in my cave (office).

John and Christy have let us borrow their pool. Monday evening we cleaned it out and filled it up. Then yesterday afternoon, when I got home from work, we took MDF out to play in the water.

CDF and MDF got in first while I took some pictures. MDF liked splashing around while CDF held her. She looked like she was trying to drink and suck her thumb at the same time, but CDF was keeping her head above the water.

A little later on I got in and held her some while CDF laid back and relaxed. MDF had apparently decided it was more interesting to try to climb the pool walls than it was to swim, and so she kept going for the sides.
