4th of July!!

Yesterday was Darian's first 4th of July! We had a pretty good day. We were a bit tired from not a lot of sleep the night before, so we slept in and took it easy most of the day. I made berry muffins and we ate breakfast in bed...all three of us. We were planning to go to Carol and Scott's for their annual anniversary/4th party, but it got cancelled because of all the rain. We were tired of being couped up in the house and we needed to run to Babies R' Us to get a lighter weight sleep swaddler, so we decided to get out of the house anyway! We headed to Castleton, looking for an open Mexican restaurant along the way, but they were all closed! We decided to venture to Broadripple, looking for any open restaurant at this point, and happened upon the Canal Bistro! It was excellent! We shared Calamari to start...then I had Lamb Kabobs and Rikki had Chicken Kabobs for our main course. Darian slept the whole time. Such a good little boy! After dinner we headed to Carol and Scott's anyway, as they had not yet met our little guy, and we were excited to show him to them. They loved him. Carol held him a bunch, but Scott wouldn't! He said he even has grandchildren he hasn't held yet! Too funny! Carol's mom held him though! She's very sweet...and we could tell, very good with babies! We came home around 11:00 to a very wore out Sunshine because of all the fireworks! We were up pretty late. Darian was a bit fussy, and the fireworks in our neighborhood were going off into the early morn! So we slept in again today...made more muffins for breakfast, and worked around the house a bunch! Grandpa Tony got here middle of the afternoon sometime and made us an outstanding dinner! Pork loin on the grill, with grilled potato's, shitaki mushrooms, and a Cesar salad! I finally finished our bedroom furniture! Tony is going to fix our roof tomorrow. Still damaged from the storm! Now Tony, Hubble and I are relaxing on the couch watching tv, Sunshine is outside wearing herself out barking at fireworks, and mommy and dee are in the nursery nursing! Blog ya tomorrow! Ughhh...back to work.
