Carys Partying it Up

ANDREW: This weekend we attended a very nice engagement party for my cousin, Roberto Fatta, and his fiance, Fran Furtis. We had a lovely time on Sunday evening (after a big Bears victory, mind you) and brought Carys along. She was the funniest: smiling at everyone she met, amazed by all the people. She was so alert and engaged with the party, it was really adorable. There were easily 150 - 200 people there and she just took it all in. When her bedtime rolled around (7:30pm), we put her in her stroller and tried to coax her to sleep. She fought to keep her eyes open, having too good of a time to miss out on anything. As we were leaving (at 8:45pm), saying goodbye to everyone, she was so tired that her eyes were starting to roll in the back of her head. But she was happy, go-lucky to the last. She was asleep almost the instant we put her in the car to go home and slept through until nearly 8am this morning. Turns out our little peanut is a bit of a social butterfly, I think.
