the remaking of a kitchen

we shopped and i started dinner, changed the bedding and washed the sheets before sarah, david and siena got home yesterday. we greeted everyone and then left them to take naps and returned a couple of hours later to finish making dinner and eat it all. everyone seems to have recovered their appetites, and siena probably never lost hers. she is a little darling, and is not afraid to let everyone know when she needs attention.
i got to hold her for just a minute....not nearly long enough of course. sarah just called and we are going over there in a bit....either to cook or order in some food. tomorrow baba sandy will get to meet siena.....a girl at last in that family. a grandchild at last in ours!
we took a drive along hwy 1 to pt reyes station today. had oyster poboys for lunch...one of my all time faves! they are so scrumptiously good.

little siena malia arrived 7-11 at 8:23 pm. her mom sarah was pretty amazing throughout a long long labor. siena weighs 7# and is just a nice sized bundle for her parents to hold and love. it was the coolest thing in the world to be in the room with sarah and david and see the whole birthing process unfold and make them parents and us grandparents. we like this new role.
we are giving s and d a break and not visiting them at the hospital. they deserve a break after a week fraught with various anxieties and loss of sleep. the fam of three come home this evening, and we may see them at that point or perhaps wait til tomorrow. i am wishing to hold that little girl!
