Day 3

The weather got really nasty yesterday. According to Jack, the weather folks declared the storm to be a true Nor'easter. We had some 45 degree rain that came down in sheets. One of the great features of this house is that we can see the ocean from the living room. The waves are quite impressive. It's still very windy this morning, but I still plan to hit the beach with Lily. Hopefully there is a beach to walk on. The waves may be going all the way to the sea oats.

We made Lily and Brenna nap yesterday afternoon. There is a sitting area in the ground floor in between Noah's room and the girls' room. Naptime was interesting. Noah never really did go to sleep other than a brief time that was interrupted when Amanda had to knock on Tiffany's door above his room. The girls took a while to go to sleep. Brenna kept wanting to talk to Lily. I went in a few times and even gave her some stern looks, which seemed to ultimately get her attention. There is no way to capture the moment in writing unless you know Brenna, so I won't try.

Lily actually did try to nap. They had to because they have been waking up really early. When I came in to quiet Brenna Lily was quick to point out that Brenna kept talking to her and wouldn't let her sleep. Lily definitely has a well-developed sense of justice.

Fortunately, Noah was really pleasant yesterday evening despite not napping in the afternoon. Let's hope today is a better day. It may be a good one for me to take Lily to the lighthouse. We shall see.
