We had a bit of a rough night overnight on Friday. Since Indigo had a couple of nights of sleeping through we had stayed up later ourselves as we were less exhausted than usual. However, around 2 in the morning Indigo started crying and even though I went into her room she cried on and off for about two hours. She finally did settle and slept until perhaps 7. When she took her morning nap around 9ish we both felt tired so we went back to bed - so it is nice that she took a morning nap. After she woke up, David and I decided to take her to our local favorite diner (she had already eaten breakfast but we had not). She was so good at the restaurant and the waitress called her "little sweetie".
After that we went to try to find a Chinese grocery we had been told about but were not successful so we drove to Great Wall grocery and found some provisions. We came home after that and had lunch and played until her nap. She took a fairly short nap and then we got her all ready for the beach. At 4 p.m. we were joined by a family we met via the internet who have also just adopted a daughter from China. 
They came home about 1 week before us. Their beautiful daughter is Lilly and she just turned 12 months - she was a delight. These folks also had two lovely boys who are very proud of their new little sister. We had a great time down at the lake and Lilly is definitely a water enthusiast. We stayed in the water for ages.
Indigo had a blast both "swimming" and then playing for a long time in the sand. We were also joined by Robyne, Stuart, twins and baby and everyone had a good time enjoying the fine weather and the water. We walked back to the house around 6:30 p.m. and bid farewell to our new friends.

We had supper and gave Indigo a bath. As you can see from the photos she really loves her bath and you can see also that David and I had a little fun 
playing with her shampooed hair! Then it was some books and off to bed. 
We did have sad news on Saturday evening when we learned from David's mom that his Aunt Rita had died unexpectedly. Rita lived in NY and was a vivacious and unique character who was involved in interesting and new projects all the time. David has wonderful memories as a child spending time with her during a NY summer at her place on Fire Island which was one of her favorite places to be. Our condolences to her husband Wally, her daughter Veronica and her granddaughter Becky.

The "spike" is my favorite.
