Olive Garden Baby

Today we finally went back to Olive Garden! If you don't know the story, I will give you a brief synopsis.

What: Abbey's water breaks
When: Mothers Day, 2006 and Abbey's Graduation Day 2006
Where: Olive Garden, Champaign, IL
Why: Zoey wanted some breadsticks
How: All over the chair and floor
Interesting Points: The waiter in the picture thought Abbey peed her pants. He hugged Abbey. We never got to eat the food...tear.

We are dorks for doing this, but we flagged this guy down. We asked if he remembers us and he did. It took a little bit to get it out of him, but he remembered. What a good waiter! He apparently had been telling Abbey's story to all of his pregnant patrons. That's Hilarious by the way! He met Zoey. He gave her the name 'Olive Garden Baby.' He also apparently predicted that she would be a girl. I don't remember that, but we humored him. :) He let us take a picture with him. He also told us to send the picture to Olive Garden's headquarters. He said we might get in the Olive Garden news letter and/or get some kind of 'gift/promo' for telling our story. Cross your fingers!

On another note...before Olive Garden, we made a trip to Meijer. Now this wasn't an average trip to Meijer, this was a special trip. We entered Zoey in the Mix 94.5 'Babes of Summer' contest (a beauty contest for babies). I don't have all of the information yet, but her pictures will end up on www.mix945.com. People will vote online for the cutest babies. Then the babies with the most votes are chosen as semi-finalists and the winner will be chosen at the Urbana Sweet Corn Festival. So check out the Mix 94.5 website and vote for Zoey. I don't know when it will be up, but I will blog about it. So keep checking the blog to find out when you can vote!

Love you all!
