We're back. Got in about three hours ago. Unpacked a bit, put the wee one through her nightly routine (bath, massage, story, nursing, prayer), and then to bed.
Newbery winner: Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Desperaux. There you have it.
Another Sofie first: Boat ride on the Pacific ocean (heck, first boat ride, period), and first whale-watching trip. We did end up seeing about three or four grey whales (thanks, JamesOTN), some Pacific dolphins, a small herd of lazing sea lions on a buoy, and miles and miles of wide-open ocean. Sofie? Slept through it all.
Sofie's plane ride back was almost a repeat of the trip out, but she did wake up about three-fourths of the way home, and so was awake for the last part of the flight and the landing.
I got into it with the taxi driver outside our apartment. I was so irritated I didn't tip him. Must have been why he didn't get out of the cab to help with the bags. Argh.
In non-trip news: A few minutes ago I got a call from Anna's sister, Jessi. Her other sister, Teresa, is pregnant and apparently is having contractions about five minutes apart. I've got to write a quiz for one of my classes tomorrow, so I'm standing by the phones. Would appreciate your prayers for a safe delivery (though given her history, by the time many of you read this, she'll have delivered).
