New cube and new little life

[glove_to_face]

The new cube is…coming along, I guess. I am trying SO HARD to see some positive side of this move, but it’s really difficult when I’m running downstairs and upstairs and downstairs again to speak with the product developers or drop off peer reviews or head to product inspections. Good exercise vs. wasted time rushing around is tough to measure

Asa is so talented! Great name too, also Mirabelle is a beautiful name, and I thought it was even better when I saw you refer to her as "Mira." What a lovely little baby.
My brothers are identical twins and we have cousins who STILL mix them up, it's ridiculous. We see these cousins a few times a year and feel pretty close with them. The cousins can usually tell who is who when we are hanging out, but they ask them questions about the wrong life. Like they'll ask Kevin how his job is going, but they are asking about Peter's job. Do you find that this happens, that people merge your lives together in their memories?

I agree! Great name choices.

Paula and I basically shared a life up until end of college, so it was easy to keep the stories straight. Haha. But nowadays, if family hasn't seen us for a good while and they don't scour Facebook for info, they definitely cannot remember who lives in Philly and who lives in Ocean City. Or which one works at Campbell's Soup and which one works at the Atlantic City Airport in the FAA department. And since we are both with Ricks, that makes it even more amusing!

Do your brothers look very, very similar? Are their personalities alike, too? Paula and I are nearly carbon copies, however she has a bit more darkness in mood. Not mean. Just slightly distant and cynical. Other than that, we think alike. Talk alike (sound of voice and verbiage). Dress alike (although I wear a lot more dresses than she does). Eat the same. Listen to the same music. Watch the same television series. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Not bad at all! I prayed for nights like those with Finn, he had colic so bad and it took two months before doctors gave us a very special very expensive formula without cornstarch solids-which his little body simply could not handle. I remember the first time he slept for three hours straight, I was scared and checking on him constantly! He had never gone that long without wailing!

She truly is a beautiful baby. Congrats to Rick, Paula, your entire family! And you get to be an auntie! I think being an aunt would be so fulfilling, and without the stress of being a 24 hour parent to a new born. The baby reminds me of my kids, she already looks a month or so old because she is so healthy and well formed! I hope Paula doesn't have to toss out/donate a bunch of cute new born clothes like I did, I would bet the little one is already in 0-3 month clothes and def. no newborn stuff, at least not for long. Also, a lot of baby's rub their hair off, so if she winds up with a cute little Mohawk you have to post pictures for me!

I like the Bonsai idea! My mother killed hers, which is SO strange, because she does quite well with plants. The moss painting sounds amazing!! Let me know if you actually try it. I'm so interested to hear

Congratulations to the happy families! How fun! :D
