A Visit from Nana and Pop Pop

Eliza had a fun day today with her nana and pop pop.  They drove down for the day just to play with her, and she had a great time!  She got a lot of attention, entertaining everyone with her antics; she was quite the little social butterfly today.  

Eliza showed pop pop one of her favorite books, Cats:



Then she and nana read one of her other favorites (a lift-the-flap book, those are big in her world right now!):


"Who's that hiding under there, nana?"

We enjoyed hanging out at home, playing, and talking about Eliza and how smart she is :), and hubby took his parents to a local burger place for lunch while Eliza napped.  After lunch I got the rare chance to run a couple of errands alone, which was really nice, even though the errands were rather boring (sometimes it's the small things, isn't it???).

It was a fun day and we hope nana and pop pop come back again soon!

Who needs clothes?

All you really need is a diaper and a hat:

It's finally happened.

I never thought it would happen, but I've become a coffee drinker.  Yup.  I blame Eliza (sorry, honey - I love you!)  She MADE me.  Now that she's down to just the one nap a day, I don't get to take my morning nap (I know, I know, I was spoiled), and I am SO TIRED ALL DAY, OMG.  I see now why people drink the stuff.  I honestly never really understood it before - but that was when I was sleeping 9-10 hours straight each night.  Bahahahahahahaha.

I still don't actually like the taste of coffee, though, so I'm more of a faker - I fill my mug half way up with coffee, and then I fill it to the top with milk, and put at least two spoonfuls of sugar in it.  So, yeah, it ends up not actually tasting much like coffee when I'm done with it.  I'm considering buying some caramel syrup to go in it, too... might as well do it right!
