Surprise visit from Aunt Dot

Grandma Mann with Kaylyn.

Grandma Mann is loving having her grandbaby born and living in the Tri-Cities. And this is a little dress Grandma got for her--so she has 3 preeme outfits that make her look like a girl. We've borrowed a few more outfits from her boy cousins.

And surprise!! Aunt Dot showed up last friday.

She says it was for Mom's birthday, but I have to wonder if Kaylyn didn't have a lot to do with it.

With Todd's mom going home Thursday night, it was so nice for Dot to show up Friday. It softened the blow--not that anyone can replace mom. We watched the new Emma Smith movie (I highly recommend it--although I didn't think I would until I saw it), and we watched Bride Wars. Mom, Dot, Kaylyn, and I went and got pedicures. These are really good for mom's feet since she is diabetic. And Kaylyn and I just sat on the sideline and enjoyed visiting, but we went all the same. And Dot held the baby lots and lots. But we also got Mom's CD player installed in her kitchen for her, the bunkbeds down and ready to go to Cyntha, fixed Mom's broken sprinkler, Dot did a Mary-Kay facial, and even got the house picked up before Monday. It was a great weekend!! Not that I did much of this. Todd and Mom did most of the work. And we couldn't have gotten it all done if Mom's hometeacher hadn't been such a huge help in getting the ply wood we needed from Home Depo to our house with his truck. Brother Baird is amazing!!
