Of course, having said I would be too busy to blog this week, I couldn't bear not to check in for a few minutes. I've also tried to keep up a little with some of you...but did not leave many comments. Just want you all to know that I'm having too much fun to blog much...It is wonderful reconnecting with a daughter after 20 years. And she is reconnecting with all kinds of family she didn't know she had...A couple of pictures.
Of course, with great irony, the first day she was here, her favorite team was playing my favorite team so we cheered and booed madly. I will admit (particularly since she may read this) that the Red Sox are the superior team...even though my Braves beat them on this particular day. Yea!
Brain has a new sister, Melody has a new sister-in-law, and Conner (hidden from view) is being helped by Karen to walk...well, sort of...
Conner and Jean win each others' hearts...not difficult for either of them to do.
And Karen took her down to the Market where they shopped and I ran around taking pictures, including many that did not have them in them, and several that are unrecognizeable abstracts...of course...for later.Okay...enough blogging...back to living.
So very wonderful to see all those big, pretty smiles! That says it all.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
She's gorgeous BB!!

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my
ReplyDeleteiphone and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just
so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83
views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
