Aunt Nancy's visit

We had so much fun spending time with Aunt Nancy this past weekend. Although Nora did not score big points with Nancy when she greeted her with "I like Aunt Katie," we chalked it up to being an innocent mistake, and Nancy and Nora bonded the whole weekend. They had a particularly fun time painting purple pictures yesterday afternoon, while Mommy tried to take a cat nap. Aunt Nancy was so good to us -- she made a pot of tomato sauce and homemade meatballs on Friday night, which we proceeded to eat all weekend long; she vacuumed not once, but twice!; she changed diapers, one of them being particularly bad; she played games with us, and stayed up to hang out with me and Bernadette one night, watch t.v. and a movie. Last night, we went to go see the holiday drive-through light display at the Botanical Gardens with Nancy and Bernadette. They were beautiful! We really missed you, Mike...I have such fond memories of driving through it for the first time with you and the girls last year. Although Nora and Caroline were starting to doze off as we pulled into the Gardens, they both perked up as soon as we passed the first light display and their eyes were glued to the car windows the whole time. We're looking forward to visiting the Rudmann clan this week for Thanksgiving...stay tuned, as I'm sure there will be lots of pictures to share this week!
