It was quite fun. I got to pester the tiny little 4-day-old baby girl just as much as I wanted. She's only about 5lb 8oz, so she sleeps more than she eats, and we got to tickle and bug her to wake her up for the next meal. :) We also got to pose her all sorts of cute for Heather to take newborn pics, which turned out way too adorable for words. :D Plus also, I hung out with the other daughter, who, at not quite two years old, was a little starved for attention with a new sister in the house. She was a cutie, too, and warmed up to me (and got over a bit of flu) by the third day, just in time to get a few smiles out of her for the family pics. :)
In addition to all that fun, I managed to convert Heather to one of my favorite audio dramas while we drove to and from her home: Decoder Ring Theatre's Black Jack Justice. Which is an awesome film noir, Dick Tracy style affair featuring a hard-boiled private eye named Jack Justice, and his sassy partner, Trixie Dixon, girl detective. Good stuff. decoderringtheatre.com. Check it out. ;)
I'm sad that 1) I didn't know you were going on this trip, 2) I didn't get to go and 3) that this posted only a half hour ago but I still am writing on it, even though it's 2:30 in the morning (looks like your gmail clock thinks you should be on Pacific time). :/
