Snippets from 2 Weeks in Seattle

The girls spent two weeks in Seattle with Baba and Lolo and the extended family, with Stephen being there only the first 3 days. They were very brave girls to be without their parents for so long and had a great time.

These are some of the emails about their time there.

I called Meghan and asked if we could babysit 4 month old Livia this morning. Natalie asked, " Do you have any baby clothes here?" When they heard the door bell ring the girls rushed to the window, when Natalie saw the baby she lit up like a Christmas tree, and said, "It's a real one."
Natalie followed me around the entire time Livia was here, pushed her in the stroller, both girls just loved having a real baby to play with.
Now Stephen has taken the girls to the Space Needle and dinner with friends, Luv and I are napping!!!


Cousins Tea Party -
Well, I knew the little lamb was tired, but did not expect her
to put herself to bed and be OUT in two minutes. Lexi and
I just laughed. But it was a bit early so I don't know what to
expect in the a.m. I will keep you posted !!! I hope she really
gets all the sleep she need tonight, she has been doing so
well, but I guess the Tea Party was too much. They all had
a great time, everyone got along, it was a lot of fun. Gail
did a nice job.

 And a good time was had by all.!!! The girls really enjoyed their

dress up time and Gail threw a wonderful tea for them. LOTS OF SUGAR.!!!!!!

Natalie was so tired  from this event and all the other activities she put herself

to bed at 6:15 and slept for 12 hours. She really needed the rest. They play

hard.

Today we will get haircuts. 

 

Per Natalie-

"I have a friend, his name is Alanzo. He has allergics to cats and dogs, he can't eat them." Yes, allergics, everyone has
a problem. 

The girls are up, dressed, fed and outside singing away. Can you hear them?
This morning we are going to Annie F.'s for coffee, she wants to meet the girls.
N has a problem with shells and a spider, more later.

N, "Baba you have to come outside and smell something and kill something." Done
N, "Baba you have to come outside and see something mysterious." done.



Dear Mommie and Daddy, I LOVE YOU!!! I have a new friend, Gunnar, we play together.
Now I want to say I  went in the swimming pool. Good bye. Natalie.  

Natalie has been chasing Lolo all over the back yard helping him with the gardens.

She just came in and asked me to take a picture for Mama and Daddy. Here she is

all thumbs up. I''ll bet that is some secret signal to you about how she really is !!!!

Natalie is wonderful, we have had her alone all afternoon. She is a delightful little kid. 

Very loving, says the funniest things, very bright, knows about lots of stuff.
