Picking up where I last left off, Lydia ended up having a fever on Thursday, so I picked her up early from MDO. Her head and body were hot, but after a couple days of rest and a few doses of Motrin, Lydia was back to her normal naughty self.

Our little blanket hoarder when she passed out on the living room sofa Friday morning

Attending Rachel's first birthday party on Saturday.

Sophie hung on to Trung most of the time,

while Lydia ran around making new friends.

We introduced Sophie to Cheerios this weekend, which kept her busy during dinner out with friends Friday night at Red Robin. Apparently they are having a promotion where kids eat free, though Lydia seemed more interested in our burgers than her chicken fingers. She also kept calling the red robin mascot "Big Bird"...that girl watches way too much Sesame Street. :P
Then tonight we went to Eddie V's for dinner and enjoyed their happy hour menu of 50 cent oysters and 1/2 off appetizers. I've been craving oysters since Scottsdale and wanted to eat something yummy after having lost my sense of taste for over a week and this meal of scallops, crab cakes, and chowder hit the spot! I'm hoping to make this oyster feast a monthly thing, but Trung thinks otherwise. The restaurant was quite nice and had only bar tables, so not the best place for kids...good thing we ate at 5!
