raccoon and Florida (25th week 11/11 - 17 )

11/17
Mona arrived and finally got to meet her niece Lily. For dinner we had yummy king crab legs (delicious, thanks dad!)

11/16
Off to Florida:We actually took the train to Bart to SFO to Cincinnati to Florida to the rental car and then to Dad's house - total travel time: 12 hours!! Even with that long travel day and the time change Lily did farely well, and actually slept at night (in the travel pen)

11/14
We had brunch with Steve, Jen and Macy (from Tahoe). Macy is such a cute little girl, and she is very good with her sign language (esp. for "more").Lily's sleep is getting soooo much better, I only had to get up once at night to feed her (around 1 AM), and sometimes she wakes up crying and I have to go in to give her the Schnuller, but things are so much better :)

11/13
The raccoon decided to coma back (again at 2:30 AM), but this time I caught him sniffing through the cat door, and ran after him with a broom - hopefully that will scare him away :)
Today we had 2 interviews with potential nannies for Fae and Lily (We all really liked Jaqueline from Peru).

Lily had slept like a rock, yet at 3 AM I heard one of the cats chowing on the food. But then I saw that both of our cats were sleeping on our bed, so I thought it was the neighbor's cat. when the "cat" wouldn't go away it hissed at me, and I took the curtain to scare it away. When I looked outside I saw it was a big fat raccoon that decided to squeeze through the tiny cat door to get the catfood that is inside our bedroom.

Lily and I took the day off (Claudia decided to observe Veteransday, so we had no daycare for the day). It was a nice relaxing day, with lots of naps, and a long walk with 2 other mommies (the "potrero boothill walk")
