Sweet Girl

Sunday night after Kaitlynn got off the phone with MawMaw she said "I love her sooo much!" She is such a sweet little girl! I am so glad that she has such a great bond with her MawMaw. You know in the beginning of her life, the goal was for her to bond with me and daddy, but as she gets older it is so important for her to bond with other people. I want her to bond with the people she feels most important and that will be around for her for the right reasons. People that won't hurt her and will show her unconditional love.

Zoo with MawMaw

Yesterday Kaitlynn, MawMaw and I went to the Zoo. We rode the train first. On the train, we saw an old friend of my mom's (Nonie, Ron and their 4 granddaughters), so we got off to visit with them. We went in to see the penguins together. Nonie's granddaughters are all close to Kaitlynn's age. She was shy or maybe intimidated at first. But by the end of visiting with them, the girls were hugging and standing close to each other. Nonie and Ron's youngest son was my first boyfriend! Ha ha!

After lunch, we went into Build-A-Bear and MawMaw bought Kaitlynn a monkey. Kaitlynn named her George. Yes, the monkey is a girl and her name is George.
After showing George around Fragile Forest, Kaitlynn decided that George needed socks. So we went back to Build-A-Bear to get socks, panties and sunglasses. George is one stylish monkey!

Wine and Cheese

Saturday, Dave and Kaitlynn went to the Zoo. Dave said they had a great time and Kaitlynn came home asleep.

That evening we went to Eileen and Stephen's for a wine and cheese night. Emily, Christopher, Ella, Tara, Jonathon, and Bailey also came. Every couple brought a wine (or grape juice). It was great sampling different wines, wines that we normally wouldn't buy. Eileen had an excellent spread of food. She is such a great hostess.

After the Children's Zoo, we went into River's Edge, where Lisa, Brendan and Molly met up with us for lunch.
After River's Edge, Eileen, Gabe and Merci went home. Lisa, Brendan, Molly, Kaitlynn, Olivia and I stayed to see the bears and penguins.

Friday evening, MawMaw, Dave, Kaitlynn and I went to my brother and SIL's for dinner. We brought them a bunch of tomatoes from our garden because our window sill is totally full. We had a great time drinking margaritas and beer and dinner was great. Kaitlynn loves Sissy (my niece) and would not leave her alone. She also likes Nate (my nephew), but was a little shy because he had 2 friends over. She is shy of older boys.
