Our Fourth

It's late and there is much tiredness so tonight you get bullet points:
  • We went down to Austin today. Drove through rain the entire time down. When it came to parade time it was coming down pretty hard. So we opted for a nice long lunch at Godfathers. Which was quite nice.
  • Over to see Steve and Micah and their 16 children. Per usual, their kids absorbed Relia into a tornado like structure and left the adults to chat nicely. Brenda Rasmussen, who lives across the street, also came over with her husband and three kids. It was also a nice time.
  • Back up to the Cities, with a nap for Relia. Felix decided to lose his rasser (pacifier) every twenty minutes or so. This meant that I got to reach back from the passenger seat and placate the poor guy.
  • Home for (maybe) a half hour and then off to the FP Gal's brother's place. He lives right near a park where they shoot off fireworks and we can see them well from his balcony. Relia was a champ throughout the whole thing. She had to duck back in the house a few times when it got too loud but mostly she loved 'em.
  • We stayed a bit to let traffic clear out and then home for us. We're a good three or four hours past Relia's bedtime. The FP Gal is putting her down and I'm hoping that it will be a short, short time.
That's it!

Dahlia was up about 4 hours past bedtime. Thankfully she slept until 9am this morning! She is tuckered out though still....me too!

It was great having you and your family visit. Relia is so sweet and Felix a cutie. Abby loves playing with Relia. I think she can't wait until her own little sister is big enough to play.

And on the sleeping side, the kids didn't get up until 10 AM this morning - and only then because I woke them up for swim lessons...
