so i didn't go to liverpool yesterday, b/c i wasn't organized enough, so i went and checked out the town with j and s. it is sooooooooo beautiful here. i'll upload pics when i find my camera (car, i think). i was going to run outside to check for the camera in the car and saw a glass bottle of milk delivered to the door! i didn't know milk still came in glass bottles or got delivered! anyways, j and i took s out in her buggy (stroller) and checked ou the town. it's the cutest town ever! as i'm typing the maid just arrived....sigh.....i want a maid. so, the town is all cobble stone with a creek running through it. there's a cool butcher shop with all the meat proudly displayed in the window and happy pig figurines dancing around. we ate one of their free range chickens for dinner last night.....so good. there were so many moms with cool strollers walking around town, it was crazy! every other person has a stroller here! nice, fancy strollers, too. stroller envy is definitely a thing. they were all black with three wheels and nice fleece covers. my stroller is alright, but i really wanted the next model up, but it was too expensive and sears didn't have the infant car seat in stock when i bought it. i think about that stroller often. my stroller is good though. big wheels and everything. it was actually hard to push it up all the hills. i think i got a bit of a work out walking around. i have never pushed it up a hill! we stopped at a coffee shop for lunch...4 tables including us and 3 had kids. lunch was sandwiches, soup and fries, very tasty. apparently their baked stuff is really good, so i think i'll go back today and try some stuff. we went to tesco (superstore) to pick up some stuff and i got this cool organic baby food that comes in a big toothpaste tube. you just squirt it on the spoon, no bowl req'd. very convenient. i think i'll bring some home. starting solids here is called weening! how sad! i almost didn't buy it b/c it's advertised as stage 1 weening or something like that. s seemed to like it though.

we had a nice dinner last night with mark & jo, while beth was sick in bed:( sat around and chatted afterward. j and mark met up with j's colleague darren for a beer at the pub...the spread eagle....no i think it was a different one. we all slept great. til 9:30. s slept for 8 hours straight, only b/c she was crammed into bed with j and i. j and i tried many times to get her into her cool new travel crib that weighs only 11 lbs and takes 30 seconds to set up, but no luck. today j and darren are working. s and i will probably go for a walk. it is much warmer here than wpg. it was 10 degrees yesterday. people are talking about how cool the weather is.....ummmm, i'll take this over wpg november any day.
