good weekend (other than the stress)

Such an eventful weekend we've had! Brian's parents came in on Friday, and we had a lovely lunch at Luna Park. Then we hung out, and then we had Little Star pizza for dinner, and Nina and Bella stayed and had pizza with us. Charli and Bella are so cute together! Also, Charli has learned to say "pizza".

Saturday we went to the farmers' market, where were in time to get empanadas - yay! The peaches were delicious, and there were some delicious white and yellow nectarines, too. And, of course, we got some strawberries... The pear and cherry tomatoes are starting to show up, too, although they weren't very good this week, except at one stall (yay samples! Charli has learned to say "sample"). In another couple of weeks they'll probably be awesome! Then we came home and Charli napped while the Cardinals crushed Kansas - unfortunately, we didn't see much of it because there was a rain delay, so the network decided to show another game in the meantime, and then didn't switch back to the Cardinals after the rain delay was over. Then we had lovely stir fry for dinner, did I don't know what, and headed for bed.

Sunday was Father's Day! Happy Father's Day! *big kiss*

We celebrated by going to the model train over in Berkeley again, this time with Charli wearing her new, special engineer overalls. Next we have to get her an engineer cap - not that she'd wear it. Once again, Charli was transfixed - we rode in one of the open cars this time, and Charli stood by my knee and didn't move for the whole ride. I tried to turn her around once, so she could see the things on the other side of the train, but she immediately turned back and took up her initial stance, so I didn't try again. The train runs out and back, so she got to see everything on the way back anyway. This time we also got to see the other trains running, although we didn't ride them - last time they weren't running. They are small! Charli thought they were pretty interesting, though.

I can't remember what we grilled for dinner when we got home, but it obviously involved corn, because here's Charli eating her first corn on the cob ever! After that, I let Charli bash her head, and then on Monday Jerry and Donna had to leave. Waah!
