Austin met the rest of his family in Eagle pass to visit his aging grandmother, Abuelita. The rest of us would have loved to go, but it would have been a long, hard trip with such a big group. So we sent him on his way with Tia Becky as his driving buddy. He had a nice visit with Abuelita and everyone else that was there.
Meanwhile, life goes on at home. Allia had an animal sitting job for a friend who is out of the country. The friend had 3 chickens, but 2 were attacked and killed by a runaway dog right before they left. So she was caring for a guinea pig and one chicken...a very unique one named Phyllis (a silkie breed), who was being kept inside in case the dog escaped again. The younger kids enjoyed going with us a few times, especially Cecilia who really enjoyed Phyllis! We had to go twice a day for 5 days, so they got to know each other well.
And we made a couple of trips to the pool. I think this was Cecilia's first real trip this year. Previously we have gone during naptime without her!
Yesterday we went swimming while we were waiting for Austin to get home, and Sebastian finally let me take his float off. Much to his and my surprise, when I had him dive for rings, we discovered he can swim! It's only for a few seconds, but I am so proud of him. What a great start! I told him I would make ice cream to celebrate after dinner. Allia made cake pops so we had quite a dessert.
