i can only say that my heart is so full and warm and fuzzy after seeing Alan and his family. Kathleen is exactly how i expected and i knew that i would love her. Alan is a sweet man, if you believe that men are "sweet". He has the cutest grin and his eyes are warm like his dad's. i did real good and didn't cry... okay, i teared up once or twice but i was a big girl. And there's the new babygirl in my life, AVA!!!
Alan reminds of Don. They look alike obviously but there's a warm kindness in his eyes that is just like Don's.
She gave me kisses, and we danced in our chairs together and waved "hi" to each other within the first 30 minutes. I think she likes me!!!
She sat on my lap immediately. well it was after she bumped her noggin on the table (i hope she doesn't get too much of a goose-egg). we talked and smiled and giggled so much that I forgot to eat my dinner but it was soooo worth it.
and here are my handsome boys waiting for Ava's arrival. Pookie didn't like that he could see me but those darn iron bars were keeping him away.
We had a wonderful time! I wish it could have been longer but I am so happy that I got to see them before we left the state. I love them very much.
And here's my Pookie in his new car seat and ready for our long haul in the big truck. He sat in the back seat all the way to Anaheim and never made a sound, but on the way home, I couldn't resist letting him sleep on my lap. he's so warm and cuddly when he's sleeping.
