What a treat to see Lori and Austen this weekend! Bonita was glad to see them at first, but was quickly saturated with Toddler Terror and spent Saturday and Sunday in her "scary cat" mode, creeping around growling and hissing when she wasn't sitting between the shower curtains on the tub rim.
Now she's recovered and is snoozing in my lap, making it very difficult to get up and practice Nutcracker, which is what I should be doing. ;-)
We had a beautiful day on Saturday and hit some Portland-area highlights: Mackworth Island, Portland Head Light, and Silly's, where Austen consulted the Magic 8-ball.
Austen gave us a glorious example of the highs and lows of a day in the life of raising a toddler. He is still wicked cute, though. The moments of Extreme Cuteness ("extreme cuteness alert! beep beep beep...") such as this are making my mom want a grandchild, I bet. ;-P
Lori and Austen got on the road with some homemade applesauce and my last jar of blueberry jam. I miss them already!
