Home alone

Yesterday we had a houseful!  K's sister and her 2 year old arrived with K's  dad, his brother and  girlfriend Friday evening.  All but his dad, Dick, stayed in the nearby Holiday Inn; Dick slept on the couch since I'm in the guest room.  We all just hung out yesterday, talking, eating, passing around the baby, hunting for diamonds in the backyard (that was little Vivian with her grandpa).  Maegan and Clay made their famous Wapak spaghetti, an old family recipe from their dad's home in Wapakoneta, Ohio, and roasted vegetables.  After we feasted, Meagan's husband arrived from Palm Springs.  About 9 people returned to the motel, though I discovered this morning that Clay returned and played Cribbage with his dad till 3 AM.

This morning everyone else went to the Renaissance Fair about 45 minutes away.  I took a walk then set up the keyboard and played the Hayes Requiem while listening to the CD.  There's a lot of rubato!  I wanted to have some time alone.  After posting this I have a couple of other things planned.  

K will be off work tomorrow, but E will go to her office.  So my first day alone with little e will be Tuesday.  I think I'm about ready.  I have a new app on my iPad called iBaby Feed, which E uses to track Little E's feeding.  We're synched, so when either of us enters data the other one sees it too.  Very handy!  These first few days have been good, an opportunity for me to review infant care and for E to begin letting go.
