We're having a good time tonight keeping our newest cousin while our uncle takes a few hours to give our aunt a surprise. We went to Cracker Barrel for supper with some friends of ours who probably would prefer not to remain anonymous, but we won't post their names (we don't have permission to). We came back to our house and played with her for more than an hour before we found our butterflies game. That distracted us for a little while, and now we're winding down to go to bed.

Aunt Lizzie called tonight, and Erin didn't want to talk to her. We do hope she has a safe trip up to Michigan with her boyfriend, although we hope she doesn't like it too much up there. Not that the South is better or anything, but we like having her in the same state.
