We have safely arrived in California, and are very glad to be here. We had some rough moments on the plane with a Lilybug who barely slept the entire day, but now we're here, and in these quiet early moments it is all very worth it. She is still sleeping in the other room, as are my parents; Joel and I were up a little before six, which is nearly nine our time. I love feeling rested and waking up before Lily.
Today we will be off to Christ Presbyterian, and we're looking forward to seeing all the dear folks who have become our friends there. Then we may go to the I Madonnari festival down at the mission and take in the extraordinary chalk paintings. Kristi invited us to dinner with Robbie and Megan, and we may join them. I'm looking forward to time catching up with old friends and relaxing.
Lily was in her element as we sat in the backyard yesterday afternoon. She explored every inch, playing with the toys that mom's friends have loaned her. She banged on the drum and carried it around like it was a purse, explored the grass and plants and grill, knocked on the door, and gave us a running commentary about her adventures. She charmed her grandparents and we had a big ole time.
