Hooray! a visitor!

We are being sufficiently entertained for the next two weeks by our dear Sadie. We love that Clark has a young sister that is so much fun to be around...and we are especially excited that she braved a solitary plane ride (plus one plane change) all by herself to come visit us all the way in Connecticut!! We are so glad...and we are keeping her busy. I've decided to post now so that in two weeks I don't post something that rivals my longest entry.
We picked her up on Wednesday in Boston and spent the day at the aquarium and Faneuil Hall. Then we picked up early the next morning and drove out to Palmyra, New York to see some church sites and catch the Hill Cumorah Pageant. (It looks like Abby needs to work on picking on someone her own size.)
The next day we drove a little bit further and visited Niagara Falls (which I can't seem to say without saying "Niagara Falls Franky Angel"...do you know what movie that is from?) It was a fun and very moist time. I found it ironic that while I was on the Maid of the Mist boat being sprayed in every direction with water that I was intentionally trying to keep my baby covered in all the appropriate places by plastic...doesn't that seem rather dangerous? But then I remembered that I had her out on a boat at the base of a very large waterfall and thought it probably wasn't the worst thing I've ever done with a newborn. In any case, aren't we a vision in blue plastic?
So Sadie has had to endure a lot of driving already and there will surely be more to come but we are looking forward to it!! And don't worry family, she is being well cared for and being fed lots of ice cream.
Stay tuned for more fun.
On a side note, I am getting sad that this onesie is getting too small. It just makes me giggle to see her in it.
One of Clark's and my favorite things to do after kids are in bed (besides watch TV, eat ice cream and popcorn and be adults) is playing games. We actually have a third game player to make things more interesting. Last night we played Life. I was having way too many moments of serious reflection during the game. Just for fun at the end of the game I filled my car with my real family pegs. I almost went out on a crazy limb and didn't buy house or car insurance in the game but then decided it was for the best. I need to live a little.
