Independence Day at my in-laws
Well, let's see. We got to meet someone who's working with Lis's parents, and she's cool. Then we got to attempt to see the Space Shuttle lift off, but it must have been behind a cloud. If the skies are clear, you can see the contrail from the Shuttle lift-off from the street in front of my in-laws' house. But we didn't see it.

And our nephew Nate was there. And Nate's parents -- Lis's brother and sister-in-law -- but they said fewer absolutely adorable things.

Nate is 28 months old, so, about two-and-a-third. And he's really smart and adorable.

Among other things, I taught him the "Sneak sneak sneak. . . POUNCE!" game. In which you sneak up on someone, saying "Sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak. . . " and then you POUNCE on someone and give them a hug.

He spent much of the rest of the afternoon going, "Neak, neak, neak, neak. . . POUN!"
