The Calm Before the Storm

Gloria had a great time mothering Lauren. She even learned a very valuable lesson. This afternoon she was reminiscing about the night and she said she understands why I don't get much sleep when she (Gloria) crawls into bed with us!! Lauren had a few moments of needing her mommy during the night but Gloria snuggled and comforted her and they both woke up tired but happy this morning.

Lauren's gonna be a beauty like her momma:

We picked up Megan around 11:00 and took her to the shop with us. The girls had a great time playing together until Lauren bit her tongue and put a damper on the party.

Lauren and Megan went home in the afternoon and I spent the day doing some much-needed paperwork at the shop. I worked almost non-stop from about 3:00 until 11:00 and I accomplished quite a bit. I still have plenty to do, but I am closer to being caught up. Zach and Gloria snuggled on the couch and watched T.V.:

I titled this post The Calm Before the storm because the next few days are going to be stupid-crazy-busy. Tomorrow we have Straight Shooter at Nampa Nights: set-up, run sound, tear-down; then we'll set up a stage and sound after Nampa Nights for the Harley Davidson grand opening that starts Friday morning at 8 a.m.; the Harley event will end (for the day) at 7:00 p.m. and we'll leave everything set up for Saturday but take another sound system out to the Idaho Center for an early Saturday show. We'll set it all up on Friday night and then Saturday morning, I'll stay at Harley and Dale and Rob and Geoff will run the show at the Idaho Center from 8:30 a.m. until noon and then take that sound system down. We have someone coming to help me at the Harley show on Saturday until Rob gets back and then we'll run sound there all day and take it all down when it's over at 8:00 p.m. The guys have been prepping all day today and they'll, hopefully, finish prepping before we have to head out to Nampa Nights in the afternoon.

Lucy is really growing up:

Off to bed. . .
