Friday morning while e played on the floor beside me I taped down the backing of the nine-patch quilt and began the pinning process. Rather than hand-sewing the three layers together I use safety pins. Carol came after lunch and we had a good visit. She brought a pattern I will use to make a loose shirt with some bright green corduroy I bought several years ago. I'm hoping it will be similar to the popular L. L. Bean shirt.
Saturday I went to the grocery store, then we all met Randy's aunt and uncle at East Ocean Restaurant for dim sum, which is always fun. We stopped by Keri's house hoping to see her and her new baby, but when Lynn noticed their truck was not in the driveway we left, not realizing Keri was in the backyard with the children. I practiced organ for a bit before making meatloaf for dinner. Or was the meatloaf Friday and pea soup Saturday? I guess if I'm going to write about specific meals I'd better blog more frequently!
Sunday morning E brought e to church so choir members and others who have prayed for her could meet her. She didn't cry at all, even when another baby did, and I enjoyed seeing her interact with more new faces. K's brother drove down from Davis, and we ate lunch at Speisekammer, a German restaurant here in town. Since the sun was out, we ate on the patio under a big umbrella. Little e took it all in stride; K gave her a bottle while we waited for our food, then she was content to be held and look around at things. We walked down Park Street to Tucker's for ice cream before heading home.
Little e is beginning to sit up on her own for 20 to 30 seconds or more. What fun to see her do this! On our walk yesterday morning we came upon a group of ducks on the grass, so I took e out of the stroller so she could see them better. I think she liked seeing these creatures waddling around and quacking. We have spread a blanket out in front of the house a couple of times so e can lie on it and watch the leaves blow and hear jets and different birds. One day I put her on her tummy on the edge of the blanket and let her feel the grass. She didn't seem too sure about that!
My visit home is more than half done now. More about that later.
