Auntie Lolly spent the night on Sunday and then Aunt Jenny came on Monday and just left this morning. It was really nice to spend time with them. Sadie especially loved that Lolly and Jenny both came to Mimo to drop her off and she showed them her school.

Here's a little "life in the Upper Valley" story:
When Jenny arrived Monday night, we wanted to get some dinner delivered after Sadie went to bed. First, we called Gusanoz for Mexican. They were not offering delivery for orders under $40 because one of the drivers didn't come in to work. Then, we called Peking Tokyo and ordered some sushi and some Chinese food. This was at 6:45. By 8:20, the food was not here. I called to check. They said "It's on it's way!" (Peking Tokyo is about a 5 minute drive from our place). But by 8:30, it was still not here. I called again...finally, they admitted that the driver had been pulled over by the cops for speeding and was still with the police. I cancelled the order. We then called Village Pizza...they were not doing delivery because they had no drivers working that night! We gave up and made quesadillas and guacamole.
In other news, welcome to Gilly's brand-new little brother, Simon. He's super cute!

I'm impressed though that 3 different restaurants even offer delivery! When I first moved to Minnesota I called a Thai place on the off chance they delivered, no luck. I ended up calling 3 Chinese places after that and they didn't deliver either. Finally I decided to just pick it up and asked for wonton soup. They didn't have it! I remember asking if this was actually a Chinese restaurant because with no delivery or wonton soup I couldn't believe it. Now I know that despite a few exceptions, you can only get pizza delivered out here.
We don't even have a Thai place nearby...how sad is that?
That's really surprising! You'd think in a college town Thai food would be really popular. There are quite a few "Minnesota Thai" places here - basically they make everything super sweet. But more and more authentic places are opening lately.
