Yep, As Predicted...Its a Girl

Allison & Dr. O had their kid. Lydia Diane Ostrander...Born Saturday, March 15th at 4:32 p.m. Over 9 lbs. Poor Allison.

They asked me to spread the word to the studio, so I guess that includes Randy, Colin, James, Pat, Kenyon (ha yeah right), Vernie or whoever else might check this.

Sweet. Thats it for now...can't wait to see how trombone lessons go after this. We had all better be really prepared because I have a feeling he'll PAO will be bleary-eyed and crabby at every lesson for the rest of the semester. Joy.


If you're in The Cities this Saturday (before Easter) call me up. I've got nothing going on until Sunday morning.


Love and babies,
Rachel

PAO's Last Night Out...

Last night we kidnapped Dr. O and took him to El Patio where he was greeted by Nobu, Hudson, Heidel and basically the whole trombone studio. After a few beers and some delicious food we all headed over to the Joynt. I left pretty quickly after we got there because I had a girl party at my house, but the guys said they stayed until around 11 and it was a good time for all. It was awesome to do something fun for PAO, since he probably won't be able to hang out at the bars anymore once the baby comes in a few weeks. It was kind of a last 'hurrah' for him; kind of a male baby shower.

After I got home we had a 'girls night' for awhile until the guys showed up to play charades and eat every scrap of our food. I mean EVERY scrap; there was nothing left. It was awesome though; this weekend has been amazing so far. You really can't beat peach margaritas at El Patio.

Today was Allison's baby shower. I helped arrange the whole thing with Kelly Heidel and it turned out great. She looks about ready to deliver any time. All the ladies who showed up played games, ate delicious cake and watched Allison open presents.

The rest of the weekend will involve:

-Going to see "I Am Legend" with Monica at the Budget
-Practicing lesson stuff
-Washing dishes (boo)
-MUSIC HISTORY 10 PAGE PAPER!
-Music Ed Portfolio (due in a week...geez)
-Two dress rehearsals tomorrow (Bryce's recital & SAI recital)

So I'm busy. But life is good. If you can check out our Wind Symphony tour concert that is coming up pretty soon. We go to Omaha, Nebraska in a few weeks.


Love you all,
Rachel Catheryn
