Independence Day

(Do these pants make my butt look big? It's the cloth diapers...)

Usually 4th of July around here turns out to be quite foggy, but the day turned out beautifully. The day before my sis, bro-in-law, and nephews came to visit. It was so nice; they babysat that evening so RT and I could go out to dinner. We were a little worried because Little P seemed pretty fussy all week and seemed out of her usual routine (maybe cutting teeth). We went anyway and had such a great a time. It was relaxing to "get a way" for a while! Thank you guys!

The following day, my parents came over. We walked along the beach, barbecued, and relaxed together. It was fun to watch Little P interact with them especially when she was smiling or "talking". It was especially fun to watch my older nephew with Little P. He says that he is the Baby Whisperer and knows how to make her happy (until she cries!!). My parents brought all kinds of food for the weekend, and my dad cooked it all. That was definitely a treat! We forwent the fireworks. We weren't brave enough to deal with the crowds, and right now I'd rather see fireworks in my sleep!
