Last Saturday we invited the DeBusks to come over to our house and play games… kind of a game night, but in the afternoon so we could let both of our kids have a normal bedtime. As it turns out, we just sat around and played with babies for 4 hours or so, which is I guess a sort of a game.

Amelia was SO. EXCITED. when she saw little 3-month-old Elijah! She was only mildly interested in him when they saw each other 2 months ago. This time, she squealed and just kept wanting to grab him – it was awfully sweet. It would have been sweeter if her nails didn’t hover somewhere between needle- and razor-sharp. I promise I tend to them as often as she’ll let me, but she invariably scratches her face up pretty often, and I was quite worried she’d hurt poor defenseless Elijah with her enthusiastic pawing.

Funny how just visiting and watching babies play can absorb one for hours… that and snacks! It was great to have the excuse to clean the house up, too. With all the work we did to be ready for guests on Saturday, we were able to be utterly indolent on Sunday, or indolent for us, which was a rare treat.
