Mimi and Gooke are in town!

Sorry for not posting anything for such a long time. I went up to parent's house because my sister and her husband were in town, and I came back yesterday. It was such a fun week and my little A had SO MUCH FUN with her Aunt Mimi, Aunt Da, Uncle Gooke and her Grandparents (lovingly called D and Guy). Even Aunt Ray and Uncle Ry came by! I loved having so much help and A was very bored today with just her boring ol mama. A really loves her aunts and uncles, and so do I. To see someone be so sweet and loving to my child is so endearing. A went on walks every morning with her Aunt Mimi, and Uncle Gooke even put A to bed all by himself one night. A woke up this morning asking for Gooke. It was pretty stinkin cute. She is one lucky little girl to be loved so much.
A wanted Aunt Mimi to sit on her toy, and because Aunt Mimi is such a good sport, she did it for A. Aunt Mimi is going to have baby S (my first niece!! YEAH!) in June, and she still fit on A's toy! Then A decided she wanted to push Aunt Mimi (and baby S) around the house. It was so funny. The toy was shaking, and I thought it was going to break, but thank goodness it held together.









A and her skinny Uncle Gooke

I had what I like to call my "fancy pants" dinner group last week. I have been part of this dinner group for over three years now, and these ladies have inspired me to be the best cook I can be. The host picks a theme and we then we are each assigned something to bring (appetizer, soup, bread, drink, salad or dessert). Rachel hosted this month and went all out. The theme was a Valentines theme since it was in February. Like most San Francisco apartments, Rachel doesn't have a table to sit eight people, so we ate on this low table. Rachel made the pillow cases to match the decor. See what I mean when I say fancy pants? The food was SOO good, and the company fabulous!

A woke up this morning asking for Uncle Gooke and I knew it would be a very long, sad day for her if I didn't get her out of the house and doing something fun. The weather was perfect so we headed to the park with our friends. A and her friend S seriously love each other. They ran to each other and when they got to each other they hugged and hugged. Then they got the biggest kick out of holding hands everywhere they went. Strangers would stop and look at them and say, "I wish I had my camera!" Luckily, I did...a true blogger always does.
