    Sounds outstanding, but I won’t be back in DC until between Christmas and New Year’s.

    Speaking of which, I just submitted a RicochetMeetup.com bleg — not posted yet — for those DC-based Ricochetti. Let me know if you’re around!

    Mr. K and I plan to attend the meetup on Monday. We’re just trying to figure out where to leave Baby K.

    I am coming!  Should I bring name tags?  You’ll recognize me by my RED sweater dress and posh Ricochet tote bag.  And the camera, of course.

    This is a new baby, right?  Bring him!  One day he won’t be so portable.

    Wish I could be there to see him and everyone else.   I have to be out of town.

    Okay, ya’ll, if you said you were coming in either thread I have made you a name tag (two pms sent) and there will be blanks.

    VERY IMPORTANT:  the Redskins are playing the Cowboys in Dallas on Monday Night Football.  It might get a little raucous.

    She’ll be 8 weeks old this Tuesday. Thanks for the encouragement, Sandy. I wasn’t sure how others would react to us bringing an infant. Mr. K and I have been dragging her to different places – from church to client appointments, even a 2.5 hour long fondue dinner – and she has been good thus far. But they say children make liars of their parents so I brace myself.

    Can I hold her if you bring her? My babies are 21 & 18 to big to cuddle with, and not old enough to give me grandchildren….
