Coffee with Clover

Hi Everyone! I hope everybody had a great week last week! We are doing really well, the second week of school went well and I am still surprised at how much I enjoy it. This week we purchased a membership at the Lake Superior Zoo and we are looking forward to warmer days when we can begin to get a lot of use out of it. If you have never been to the zoo in Duluth, you are missing out. There is something about the closeness there to the animals that just makes it so much fun. The Lake Superior Zoo has had its own share of struggles in the past but they really seem to be on the right track. Yesterday we ventured to Minneapolis to visit my mom and some of our close family friends and have a meet and greet with Clover. Clover did wonderfully, she was a charmer as usual. She makes me so proud at how friendly she is and how open she is to new people, always full of smiles. When I was pregnant I hoped for two things from my little child: for her to be healthy and for her to be a happy smiling baby. Lucky me, I got both of those wrapped up in a wonderful little package! We took Clover to Rosedale Mall yesterday to meet the Easter Bunny and have some Easter pics taken. Anytime you bring your baby to something like that you never know how they are going to handle it. One of the children in line in front of us screamed bloody murder the entire time so I was nervous at how Clover would handle this. As always, she was a peach and impressed everyone at how well she handled it. Another week looms ahead and we are busier than ever, there are very few moments of open time with school, work and Clover time. One thing I have realized is that having a baby is really ushering a new person into the world and getting them ready to have their own life. Don't decide to have a baby until you are ready to devote your life to making another persons life wonderful...I am glad I was ready for that when Clover came into the world. Until next time, Love you! Tania
