We knew Mike and Ginger back in Minneapolis and Ginger was a LIFESAVER the week before we left for the US. She came over and helped mom and I pack for ages, it seemed. She also gave me some great shoes (= Finn, her oldest had somehow increased her shoe size with his arrival (= My favorite shoes when I was pregnant were from Ginger.
Anyway, true to our life stage, we met at the food court in the mall and then took our food down to the kiddie play area. We pulled a table and chairs near the thing so we felt close enough to be responsible but far enough to eat and talk. Delicate balance. Then the closed the play area for cleaning so we dragged our table and chairs to the nearby play area and kept talking. Then they re-opened the original play area and we dragged everything back over......You do what you can to have a complete conversation during these years (=
It was lovely. We wish them all the best with what they are doing and where they are serving.
