They are here!

Nicole and Chad (AKA White Thunder) made the trek to Nebraska to see us. They got in about 1:30am on Friday and after hugging it out, we all went to bed. Friday, we all slept in and they got to meet Eliza when she woke up. Of course, they said "Look at all that hair", and also another one we get pretty frequently, "She's so pretty!". 

We were bums all of Friday and just hung out most of the day allowing them to recoop from their drive. When Michael got home, we grilled some pork tenderloin and veggies for dinner and enjoyed each other's company. After dinner, Nicole decided that she needed ice cream, so she and White Thunder went out to find a grocery store. Since I can't have ice cream, I asked for a bag of Skittles... 2 lbs 9oz! Needless to say, I have shared and our tummies hurt from Skittles! We haven't even made a dent!

After dinner, we played two great board games: Quirkle and Blokus. We don't own Quirkle, but our good friend Brian let us use his copy this weekend. It seems that Chad and Nicole are a bit competitive with one another, so we a few games, but the outcome was always the same... Nicole was not the winner. 

Michael has been off today, so after sleeping in, we cooked some breakfast and played some more Blokus. Nicole won today, so naturally, she likes the game much better. Since we have had too much junk food, all humans and dogs went on a walk because it was beautiful today. Eliza liked the idea of going on a walk because she was all smiles when we put her in her stroller :)

After the walk, we can back to the house to hang out more. We put Eliza in her swing for a bit while she was napping. When I got her out, she had expertly drenched the swing cover and so needed to be cleaned up and changed. After we changed her, I put her in her crib to wash her swing cover and realized that she looks so tiny in her crib! We never put her in it, so I hadn't realized how big it is. We'll do a similar picture in a few months to see how much she grows!

For dinner, White Thunder was craving a Reuben, so we took them to the Haymarket to eat at Lazlo's. Great food, great company! This is a picture of the cute couple with miss Eliza :)

When we got home, we bathed and fed Eliza. After lots of cuddling, we put her down and then played board games: Ticket to Ride, Tsoru, and Taboo. Great day!
