Yesterday we had several visitors. My Uncle Randy stopped over on his way back to Chicago to meet Darian! While Randy was here, Adam, Avery, and Mike came over for a while. Avery hadn't seen Darian yet, and was really excited to meet him. She was at the hospital on his birth day, but had to leave because Rik labored for sooooo long! She has been asking about him ever since! Mike came up with Scott for the weekend and he has been really excited to meet Dee as well! Mike's siblings Scott and Elizabeth are both expecting late summer (Scott...having a boy) and Elizabeth (fall...having a girl)! He is excited to be an uncle...and from the way he cuddled Darian all afternoon, he will be a good one! Adam has been here about 12 times already (exaggerating a bit), so he didn't hold him this time! Thanks for coming over guy's! Grandma Tia also came for the afternoon! She actually took some little league pics back to Winnie for us to deliver and saved us a bunch of postage! Thanks Grandma!
Last night we went to Holland Park to the Fishers Freedom Festival. We waited till about 7:30 to go, so that it wasn't as hot. We had a lot of fun! Darian slept the whole time, but Rikki and I had quintessential fair food. I had a rib eye sandwich, Rik had a breaded tenderloin, and we both shared some ribbon fries! We both had home made cream soda from a booth that had several wooden kegs of homemade soda! It was tasty. After dinner we shared an Elephant Ear for dessert. Next we walked down to where a band 'Toy Factory' was playing and several kids and adults were dancing in the grass. At dusk several people in the surrounding neighborhoods started shooting off some pretty nice fireworks. We enjoyed them as we walked about 1/2-mile back to our car. Darian loved his car seat, and we pushed him in the baby trend stroller that you just fasten the car seat into. Thus he was quite cozy and lulled into a deep sleep during our walk! I think Rik enjoyed getting out of the house and walking, though she is still a bit sore!
Today Darian and I slept in pretty late! We were tired boys! Mommy got up early and made coffee and started working on photos again! She's the best! I finally mowed the yard today! I haven't mowed since before Darian was born...so I've been neglecting the yard! :( Really the only exciting thing we did today was to give Dee his first real bath! He hated it! We put him in the warm water, thinking it would remind him of the amniotic fluid he floated in for 9 months...but I guess not! He screamed and cried the whole time! Rik picked him up to hold him for a minute to calm him and he pee'd all over her!! After he got dried off and lotioned up he finally calmed down! He ate really well after his bath though! Enough for now! Night everyone! Shout out to GG Doris...we hope she is feeling better today after her surgery on Friday! We love you!
Zach, Rikki and Darian
