What to do with an extra day?

I was thinking what a wonderful thing it is to have this extra bonus day. Maybe it's time to catch up on my blog briefly in three ways:

Someone I admire:

Baba Dona (our kids do not use the word "grandma" or "abuela"--they've always said "Baba")--she is a saint and she's my mother-in-law. She came and took care of our munchkins for a week AND EVERYONE HAD FUN!!! We love her!




Something I've wanted to do for a LONG TIME:

After planning and talking about it for six years, D and I took a trip to my beloved Dominican Republic. It was CHEVERE! And I left the kids for a week and we all survived. Miracles really do happen (see above)!








An announcement:

Yes, I'm putting on weight. I have a parasite! We have a Squeak, a Pip, a Squirt, and now what? A Peep? We will all meet officially around the beginning of June, but in the meantime, I'd love any in-utero nickname ideas that go with our previous fetuses' names.
