The Ones You Don't Post On Facebook

Last weekend we had a great visit with our friends Nate and Julie from San Francisco.  They are expecting their first child, a son, in early June, and are checking off some things on Nate's "baby bucket list."  Some items on the list (a short visit to LA) are more practical than others (a boating/fishing trip).  In any case, we were delighted to make the cut.

Nate and Julie are the first of their group and of their families to have a baby, and they are thrilled.   They also had lots of questions.  We enjoyed reminiscing about expecting and welcoming Clara.  We were also hoping that Clara would not frighten them with her toddler behavior.  Thankfully, she was precious and even decided that she "loves her uncle."
