We've had a busy week. Little e had her six-month check up and passed with flying colors. In fact, the pediatrician proclaimed she is "blowing it out of the water right now," with her growth, sitting up, rolling over. She is beginning to have solid foods three times a day in addition to nursing.
Thursday afternoon I drove to Sky Harbor Airport and picked up Randy and Liz. Randy and I stayed at the hotel down the street; Liz was at the house that night, then at the hotel for the rest of her stay. Friday E and Liz did sister things while Randy and I watched e. Liz and E took e to the swimming pool; she looked so cute in her little swimsuit and hat. About 10 PM we went to the airport to collect Sarah and Erik, who stayed at the house. Saturday we had breakfast out, an early Father's Day celebration. Lunch was at a local brewery/pub called The Perch, which in addition to beers features birds. Sarah and I visited a quilt shop where she purchased some fabric for a quilt for their couch. Then it was off to the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game, e's first major league game. The San Diego Padres won, 6-1. Due to excessive heat Chase Field closed their roof, and it was quite comfortable inside. Imagine...an air-conditioned ball park! Sunday was low-key. E and e made breakfast for K. For lunch K grilled sausages and corn on the cob, and I made date cake (one of Randy's favorites). Then I took Randy, Sarah and Erik back to Sky Harbor; Liz leaves tonight.
We missed Liz's husband, but he was on call and unable to travel across country. My dad and his wife had planned to come but he had a health issue get in the way. I think a good time was had by all, even with the 100+ degrees. Randy reported that one of the flight attendants on his flight, which was going on to St. Louis, had said, "You're going to Phoenix in June?" We got some good pictures of e with her daddy, her aunts, her grandpa, and three generations. She already knows when her mom's phone is pointed at her, and she smiles.
