A Big Day
Anja, Ella, Bill and I saw Charlotte's acting debut yesterday morning as the farmer's wife in "Stone in the Road" at Imagination Stage. She did great! And the whole show was just hilarious. Fortunately, Anja was able to videotape it for Carey, Sarah, Uncle Jim and John so they'll be able to see it, too, sometime this week.
Then, (finally!!!) only a week late, Carey, Sarah and John showed up on our doorstep about 5 p.m. John reported that the flights were all on time and uneventful, just the way we like it, and that as they were coming up Connecticut Avenue in the cab, Sarah had remarked "Oh, remember when we lived here?!!? Those were the good old days." Carey and John hightailed it to Union Station and a train to NYC almost immediately, but Sarah stayed and Charlotte came over to spend the night with her.
We all had dinner at Las Lomida Dos - the girls had "strawberry margaritas" and nachos - and after a bath, I tucked them in to bed with "The Cheetah Girls" video. Of course it took them quite awhile to get to sleep, but when I went to check on them this a.m. Sarah was sprawled out on the right side of the bed like a drunken sailor and Charlotte was curled up in the fetal position near her head.
Charlotte hopped up on her own about 8 and after some Cheerios, got herself ready for camp and went across to wake up her mom and Ella. Sarah, as usual and always, slept until about half an hour ago. She's requested a reading of "Auntie Tells a Good One," so that's next on the agenda, and then we'll have to reconnoiter the day. Options include picking up Charlotte early from camp and maybe going swimming or to a movie. It's very hot and humid, again!, and the air quality is Code Orange, so we'll have to take all of that into consideration.
John will go from NYC to Pa. to spend a few days with his family, but Carey should be back about 6 or 7 tonight. She'll jump back onto the train after her second doctor appointment, at 12:30, is finished, and when she gets back, we'll all decide what fun things to do with the week! Hooray!
