Last week, Bruce, Kathi, and Yao stayed over at our house and we all had so much fun and got so much done!
What did we (ok, I didn't really help much with the home improvement but I'm still going to say "we") do?
Installed a screen door over our front door!
Horray! The screen door blocks out flies and mosquitoes and does not look crazy ghetto like those black security doors.
Threw a 4th of July BBQ that I didn't even know we were going to have!
So months ago, we threw around ideas of throwing a 4th of July BBQ for the left coast cousins. However, everyone said that they couldn't make it, so we figured we weren't doing a bbq. Two days before 4th of July, Jeff announces that we are having friends over for our bbq.
What? What bbq?
We head over to Costco that day to pick up food for our bbq.
The follownig day, we have more guests invited to our bbq! Hmm, I hope we have enoughf ood.
The day of the bbq, we learn that 2 more people were joining our bbq. -_-' I head out to the grocery store to pick up more food. Thank goodness grocery stores are open on 4th of July!
Cleaned out and organized the garage.
Looks much better now!
Is anyone interested in buying our chandeliers? $100 or best offer =)
Cut our old front door and used it to level out the guinea's cage.
Guineas got an upgrade!
CAITLIN'S FIRST BIG ADVENTURE
With so many visitors, it made sense to all make a trip down to visit Connie and her family! (afterall, her daughter is Caitlin's bff. hehe).
I was a bit nervous about this trip because Caitlin always cries during car rides (yes, even when the car is moving), and the trip down to Irvine is 1 hour one-way.
On top of that, Caitlin is already a grumpy baby. When she is out is about, she rarely naps, and when she doesn't nap, she is even grumpier.
Overall, Caitlin did pretty well. Much better than I expected!
On the drive down, Caitlin did not cry until we were almost there! Wow! We kept all the windows down and that seemed to prevent her from crying. in the middle of the afternoon, after I fed her, Caitlin took a 45 minute nap at Connie's house! I was so impressed because usually she is a light sleeper, but she slept through everyone's talking. She must have been exhausted from the drive down. =)
We went out to Fashion Island for dinner and took pictures at the Koi pond, and Caitlin napped for maybe 15 minutes during dinner time (not bad not bad.. I'll take what I can get).
This is a re-enactment of some photo these 3 took years ago. I have yet to see this photo.
Olivia + Caitlin = BFFs 4 ever
Family!
Then we went to 85C for dessert. (I got 30 dollars worth of pastries. Mmmmm.)
We headed back to Connie's house after 85C, and what did Caitlin do? She did quiet-alert! Wow! It was already past 9pm, and she had a big day, but instead of being grumpy, she laid around playing with Olivia's toys and she even laughed a bit too. =)
Sadly, Caitlin cried the entire hour on the drive back home. We skipped Caitlin's nightly bath and put her straight to bed at around 11:15. Caitlin fell asleep quiet easily and slept for 8 hours before her first feeding.
I love it when Caitlin sleeps so well! We need to go on adventures more often! hehe
