MEET/GREET JULY 25
So, the Buffalo Wild Wings by Northtown Mall. Please let me know if you are coming. I know last time we had some people that had name tags. Maybe if you can send a copy of it to me - I would like to make something like that up for when we do these things.

Hey Trina! Buffalo Wild Wings. Yum. I'm on the overtime list for Saturday, so I'm not sure if I can make it or not. I won't find out if I actually have to work or not until tomorrow towards the end of the day. I'll let you know one way or the other. Hope to see you all there!

I'll be coming also. I am at a baby shower in Anoka before that, so if I am not there right at 1, save me a seat. Looking forward to seeing you there.

I am going to try my best to be there! It just so happens that my son is home from Afghanistan with his wife and baby daughter, but I think that they can spare a few minutes away from me. It has been a real tough time around here since they all arrived. Diane (my daughter-in-law) has been hospitalized since they got here on the 16th. She just arrived back here today, but still is not feeling very well at all. We continue to hope that she will be feeling better with a little TLC from family. I may not be able to stay as long as I would like, but I hope that you all will forgive me.They were supposed to leave last Tuesday, but with Diane in the hospital, that didn't happen, so re-arrangements still have to be made for flights, etc. See you on Saturday at 1:00 at the Wild Buffalo Wings place at Northtown!!

Ladies - I can't make it today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo bummed!!! My daughter is sick and puking her guts out, my hubby is out of town, and I can't leave her. I would like to try to get together with anyone outside of this if you want, let me know. I don't have a phone number for anyone, so I have no way to get ahold of anyone. I hope someone gets this, and tells everyone why I couldn't make it. Sorry!!!!!

Trina, There has been a lot of chit-chat about another Meet and Greet but nothing is happening. I would like to arrange to have one on Saturday, August the 22nd at 1:00 P.M. at the Buffalo Wild Wings place at Northtown, once again. At that time, may be we could talk about a different place so we can get some of our other moms from the south and west. With the construction in the areas around the Twin Cities, I feel it would be a good idea to get together at the usual place one more time before school starts, since it is familiar to most of us. I hope that I am not stepping on anyone's toes by suggestioning getting together at the BWW, but I feel that it is important to meet more often so the new moms (as well as the others) get to know each other. One never knows when we may need help or input. The support is very important (at least to me), and I wouldn't want the other moms to feel that they are left by themselves when they have questions, concerns, or want to pass on "great" news about their family. And besides, we all missed you last time!!
