The kids loved her, especially Stella. She was never so smiley, happy and agreeable as these last few days that Aunt Edie has been showering her with attention.
A.J. has been more of a mama's boy, but still enjoyed some good times with Aunt Edie.
She got here on Monday, and late Monday night, I realized I was getting sick...what a bummer that had to be during her visit, but without her taking care of those kids during those few days of dizziness and fever, I would've been in trouble. Stella's summer school finished last week and the school year doesn't start until Sept. 8th, so her visit was a lifesaver that helped preserve my sanity.
Aunt Edie got to be witness to a lot of A.J.'s guitar-playing and drumming:
(He got his new guitar recently)
MOST IMPORTANTLY, Aunt Edie helped me can tomatoes for the first time. I used a combination of farmers market tomatoes and my heirlooms, and I have twelve jars! I was so proud when we were finished!
Is there anything she can't do?
Thank you so much for coming to visit us, Aunt Edie!
