I've been everywhere, man!

The last three weekends have found us out of town, which along with the end of my school term, has contributed to the lack of blogging. First Greg and I went to Chicago for a midwifery summit - what a great time - we met a lot of midwifery "celebrities" and got a lot of great info and networking for our group.

Then, while Dan went to Minneapolis for a Vikings game, we went to Norfolk, NE, for a big to-do at the birth center there. We had been working hard at planning it for over a month and it was a smashing success. The Nebraska Friends of Midwives annual meeting was a part of that event, so it was great to put faces with a lot of names I've only known over the internet. Also I was elected to the Board, in the position of Education Chair - I am very glad because there is a lot I want to do!

And for Thanksgiving, we all went up to Bismarck to spend time with Dan's family - both sides! It was a whirlwind trip but I know the family, especially the Grandparents, were happy to see Gregory! We were especially thankful that he actually did pretty well in the car, only crying when he was tired, which he does no matter where he is. So if we weren't in full gear before, we will be now, with Christmas fast approaching, a new quarter starting for me next week, and a lot of work to do to get ready for the January start of the legislative session.

Much to my dismay, several people have reported that they cannot view the slideshows from Photobucket, so I am trying yet another program. If you are having trouble please let me know. Enjoy!

Oh yay! I knew you were nominated to the Board, but I didn't realize you were officially elected! Mazel tov. :)
