Going back a few days, we had a nice weekend. We decided, for the sake of Lila's bedtime, to leave for Dallas on Saturday morning. Doug can often take a Friday afternoon off if we are going out of town so that we can do our driving in the afternoon, but not this time. So we had dinner out and then a relaxing evening at home on Friday.

Saturday morning we headed for Dallas and got there just after lunch. Olivia is such a tiny, squishy thing! I *know* that Lila was like that once, but I have a hard time believing it. I don't remember much about those first few weeks with her, which is sad - but maybe that's normal? Anyway, holding Olivia is like holding a little bit of fluff. 7 lbs doesn't feel like much when you're used to toting around 16 lbs!

Sunday afternoon we headed back to Austin. I was afraid it would feel like too much driving to go up one day and come back the next, but it wasn't bad. I guess because what happened in between the driving was relaxing. Lila was NOT a happy person on the way home. She slept for the first hour and a half, then we stopped for a feeding and dinner. The second half of the trip involved no sleep, but lots of crying!
