No, this is more of a keeping-each-other-posted-about-personal-health type thing. I discovered this after John's mom, two sisters and niece came to visit us for a week.
I have to say, it now makes much more sense why whenever I've said things to John like the following: "I think I feel a headache coming on" or "My elbow hurts," his response is either "Have you pooped today?" or "Go take an enema."
That's my neat little seque into posting about our week with John's family in town. (I think after this post I'll be all caught up...)
Their visit was pretty much all about Sofia, though we did get in some good touristy activities, like riding the tram at Alyeska and visiting the zoo. I was a little disappointed in the polar bears at the zoo, who didn't seem to get the memo that they were supposed to be putting on a show for us. Instead, they just stayed draped over the rocks like they'd had a rough Saturday night:
I have to admit I'm a little foggy on all the details of this week, as this was before Sofia was sleeping through the night. But I do know for sure the highlight of the week was a trip down to Homer, and we have high oil prices to thank for that!
With fuel prices being what they are, the tourist season has been pretty slow this year. Thus we were able to rent not only a van so we could all drive together, but a beautiful beachfront condo on the end of the spit that easily fit all of us. Even packing the van was exciting, as a moose just happened to run through our front yard when everyone was out there.
We spent our time enjoying the view of otters constantly playing just off the shoreline and eagles hanging out all over the place. Our little superstar Gianna did plenty of beachcombing and entertaining of the crowds:
Here are some other highlights from the fam's visit...
Aunt Lisa gave Sofia a bath:
Johnny made us his famous Caesar salad. He's, um, apparently proud of his cheese:
Gianna took Bella and Lucy for about a thousand walks. They LOVED her:
And lots of posing:
We can't forget Lucy and Bella. And yes, they're pooping quite regularly these days:
*Thanks to Lisa and Toni for all these pics! I, of course, continued this week in my fine tradition of forgetting to take pictures.
