Long Sunday

Today began with Mike cutting the grass and a quick trip to Target to help out our playroom once again. Mike had a very good helper while he tried to get the cubes put together. Lily is very much a Daddy Helper.

Then, on our second trip of the day at 2 to babies r us the lights flickered and finally went out. Thinking it was just a simple thing due to all of the a/c running it would probably be back on by the time we got back so out we went. Then, we saw it. A down power line in our yard! We called the power company and headed off to the a/c at bru.

We got home and no one was there yet to fix the line. Lily took a nap, we did quiet things around the house and by 6 still no one had showed up. While we were leaving to an unplanned dinner out to Red Robin, the crews finally showed up...

Daddy and Lily.

Miss Emma in the car being changed before the ride home.

Funny Story: We sat a booth for the first time. We ordered her a kids meal which comes with a drink and we chose lemonade. She loved it. She sucked it down and wanted more so Mike told her when the lady comes back she'll go get you some lemonade and bring it back to you.

After the waitress brought her drink back and left, Lily began chanting...Lady...Lady...Lady.

Guess we're really going to have to watch what we say now in front of our little parrot.

Looking out at the water, so sweet!

We returned home to still NO POWER but at least three trucks were there and ready to get up on the poles to replace the falling wire.

We finally got power back at 945!

Thank goodness we celebrated Daddy Day a day early!

A little glimpse of our evening without power.

And, today Emma laughed for the first time! and we tried to get her to do it over and over again with little success!
