Today is July 11th--Wednesday and we've been back from family vacation since Sunday morning early. Cannot for the life of me get Ruby and Eliza to sleep at the same time... except right now and we have to pick up Kaia from the camp bus in 7 minutes. So, I'll be posting now for about 5 minutes. What has happened since we started our vacation on July 1st? So much: July 4th barbecue and home fire works show, Kaia's 5th birthday, visits with Mom/Dad, Jim and Rob Colgan, Brother Tom and family, Lindsey and her three kids, Kirsten and her four kids, Stamford Museum visit, Wizard of Oz summer theater and then home. Lots of swimming--Kaia is getting ready to swim on her own! and some intense lobster back from too much sun exposure.
Monday: Kaia went to camp for the first time and I visited the Doctor for Eliza's 4 month check up--doing great! then Trader Joes, home for naps and then we picked up Kaia at Eastern Market. A lot of tiredness still recovering from the week of vacation perhaps? Played softball after Mommie came home--late leftovers of pasta and meatballs and edamame for dinner.
Tuesday: Ambitious: Hiked to Great Falls with Ru lu and 'lizer bean and they both did well but Ru lu whined a bit more than Kaia and had to be carried a little more; hey she's only 3 and people gave me comments like "poor dad" and "that looks like training," after seeing me with 'lizer in the baby bjorn in front and carrying Ru lu on my shoulders as well. Worked in a half an hour of Ashtanga with the girls watching and helping. Good play at the Brent playground in the afternoon before picking up Biggest good sister. Nice homemade dinner of salmon with lemon and dill and yellow peppers, mixed semi-mashed potato/sweet potato, corn on the cob, and tomato-basil-mozzerella salad. Best day of the week so far. Run to Costco ended in a torrential downpour and we found a leak coming through the kids light fixture in the bathroom.
Wednesday--Today-- barely awake this morning, but lolled around the house and took care of baby E while Ru lu played and entertained herself. Had a nice catch up chat with Argentina traveller returned to massive Arlington culture shock. Me, Ru lu and baby E then headed to the doctor's via Metro--paper fare cards now a $ more! Ru checked out well but had strep throat--got medicine--headed home for naps and calls to the roofer among other things. Listening to John Fahey radio on Pandora and realizing I've been writing for too long--must go get the Kai Kai bean and plan dinner.
I've missed you blogger.
