What an Onlooker Sees

I've been waiting all week long for something interesting to happen, which would, in turn, give me a good story to post. Well… Still waiting... When I got to thinking, however, I realized that plenty has happened, just not to me.

I'm just going to give you a quick recap of the week through the eyes of an onlooker....Geoffy and some of his friends started a web series! It's called "Casanovas" and it's HILARIOUS! You can view it by following this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyPeptZd38w For those of you who don't know, my brother is a producer/director/writer/actor... I suppose a little bit of all down in Los Angeles. He and his buddies come up with some pretty funny stuff. Check it out. (p.s. I hope it's ok, Geoff, that I posted this pic here without permission) Arabella has entered into the "Try to Fit EVERYTHING in My Mouth" stage. She's also drooling non-stop. Guess those teeth are starting to push up. She made a new friend this week too (courtesy of Aunt Tammy)! Her name is Penélope and she's a bunny. The poor thing now constantly has wet ears.
On a sad note, one of my friends suffered a miscarriage this past week. This is now the THIRD friend of mine who’s suffered a miscarriage in the past six months. I too went through the same experience before I got pregnant with Arabella, and I know how difficult it can be. If one of your friends goes through this, make sure to give her plenty of extra squeezes, and just be there if she needs you. Even if she says she's fine - be there. It's a lot harder to go through than it seems.

Lastly, staying true to the onlooker I've been, I secretly (and very poorly, I might add) videotaped Arabella listening to Alex singing his version of "Boom Boom Ain't it Great to be Crazy": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj9OeP_I6jI. She LOVES this song (the original AND Alex's version). “AT LAST! MWUAH HA HA! BEHOLD the key to smiling for the camera and cranky moments!!!” It's true that we probably are a real sight as we walk down the street bobbing our heads and making overly animated faces as we sing. Whatever. Gotta abide by to the song.
