OK, gang. This truly has been a weird, wild, wonderful weekend. It should be noted that aunt Kelli was the first extended Olsen to meet and greet baby Sadie, and what a hit! Among the pious Madrigals, faculty and staff of the BEHS choir, and other Box Elder vocal family dynasties (take your pick...), Sadie was a great success and a star. Even if Michael Van Duesen himself had a baby, it probably wouldn't be as popular as Sadie was on Saturday. I am not exaggerating.
So anyway, we surprised Kell in the Holocaust museum and then hung with her the rest of the day. I almost made a miraculous new way to get to the temple from downtown DC. It would have been my finest hour. Unfortunately, it ended in near disaster with us driving frantically in an unknown corner of Maryland, but luckily Kelli was only 20 minutes late. Sadie behaved, we saw some Richmond friends at the concert, and then instead of going back to the hotel (I followed buses this time) we took kelli to a grocery store parking lot where we ate ice cream while Ashley fed Sadie. Paaaaarrrrrty!
In other news, we are looking forward to seeing everyone and introducing you to the little princess. Speaking of her, Ashley and I decided that we will wait until next year to start Sadie on piano lessons. Of course we will have to squeeze them in between her riding lessons (she must ride like a lady), tennis, violin, polo, and retrenchment society activities. She will have to find her own time for croquet and bocce ball.
Welp I guess that's the blog. Congrats to Heidi for a new nephew and a great post that included the word "blogosphere". Excellent! We look forward to seeing everyone, even you cruisers. you know who you are. I'm not going to mention skype in this post. I'm sure everyone has been sufficiently warned and is standing by.
