Yesterday

Yesterday Maryanne and I were at Narf and Pauline's for a while; Pauline wanted to throw a baby shower for Maryanne, to include the Carroll people. It turned out to be a rather small affair, as not many people were able to make it. Indeed, not many people RSVP'd for that matter. It was a nice little affair, though, that didn't seem to have much of the feel of a baby shower.

John and Anne were previously expected to make it, but that was revised to just Anne, and then it turned out Anne didn't make it, either; it could have been the weather. However, Tina was able to make it, as was Scott and his wife Joni, whom we had not met before. Angela was able to make it as well, and brought Ashley with her. I hadn't seen Scott or Angela since Maryanne and I got married, which was over three years ago now. It was very nice to see them again, and to see how much Ashley had grown. She's a pretty mature seven year-old.

The most interesting piece of news that we learned is that Ashley's going to be a big sister; Angela's pregnant. We were all very happy for her, knowing how much she wanted to have another child. As Maryanne and I drove home, though, we both remarked how we were a little surprised by it.

The afternoon made me think back to my Carroll days, though. It's hard to believe sometimes that six years have gone by since I graduated.
