So, Xaris woke up at 6ish and I was feeding her...
when Ricardo gets a phone call.
He's groggy, looks at his phone, sees it's his brother,
and assumes something is horribly wrong.
No so, however, it's just that his brother happens to be
OUTSIDE OUR HOME and wants to come see the baby.
The story is...Juan (Ricardo's brother--same one who tried the
"running-the-R-C-truck-into-his-head" experiment), was working in Lubbock, TX. He needed to get to Kentucky for another job by midday today though, and the only way to do that was drive through the night from Lubbock to Dallas to catch an early morning flight out of Dallas. So, when he arrived in Dallas, he decided he had a few (just a FEW) extra minutes to stop by our house before his 7:55am flight. (He needed to return a rental car too).
He called us from outside, came to see the baby and got all excited that he was the first from Ricardo's side of the family to see her!
He and Ric ate bowls of cereal, and then Juan was off to try to get to the airport on time! I'm assuming he made it, since we haven't had any repeat calls or visits.
Xaris with her Tio Juan!
Other random news: We made it to youth group last night! No pictures, we didn't bring the camera, but she slept through it all anyway, nice and snug in her moby wrap.
The kids were really happy to see her though, and very good about washing their hands. Now if only I could expect the same thing from all the adults in the congregation--I'm fearful about bringing her to church!
A few random pictures from this week:
HUGE newborn sized jeans. Anyone else notice how not all newborn clothes are the same size? Some aren't even REMOTELY newborn-sized!
When I arrived in my office on Sunday for the first time since Xaris was born, there were several more gifts in my chairs and on my desk. This was one of them--the 3rd diaper cake we have received--and they just keep getting more and more impressive! While it was packed with diapers inside, the outside was wrapped/decorated with other usable stuff: a couple of baby blankets, bath products, (the roses around the bottom layer are washcloths and socks), cute shoes as a topper! Unbelievable! I think I'd like to learn how to make these. What an incredible gift.
