My little sister got to come up and visit us the weekend before last. Her timing was great because Steve was out of town for Robyn's wedding. Congrats Robyn & Corey!!! Speaking of which, I heard from Steve that the wedding was absolutely beautiful and perfect (except maybe when the father of the bride slapped the groom at the alter...ha). Beautiful place, beautiful accommodations, and a very beautiful bride!! We love you, Robyn!!
Well, while that was going on in Mexico, Laura was a huge help and sanity keeper for me in Wisconsin, and Ava is totally in love with her. They had a great time reading and singing and playing with a really cool puppet. : )
It was very brave of her to come up this weekend since Owen was at the peak of a night-crying pattern. I think we all pulled through ok, though. We even made it out the door to go to church on Sunday morning despite much crying and hoopla. Way to go, super-aunt Laura!
When it was time for Laura to head back to the airport, Ava gave her a big hug and repeated, "Don't go, Laura! Don't go! Stay with me! Stay with me!" It was such a pitiful scene!
Ava didn't want to lose her dear friend!
