Peace, Love & A Visit From Friends

Today I got an extra special surprise when my Mommy's friend, Aunt Gail and her boyfriend Robert, came to visit. This was the first time for me to meet Aunt Gail (she saw me two days before I was born) and it was the first time for Robert to meet Mommy & Daddy. It was a pretty big day, Mommy & Daddy even cleaned the house for it!

Since Robert has his private pilots license, he & Aunt Gail flew down from Waco for the afternoon. Although I was a little hesitant when we first picked them up from the airport I warmed as soon as Robert starting making goofy faces at me. It was no time before I showing them my toys in the backyard & I ultimately even played a game of catch with Robert. Mommy has told me all about Aunt Gail's pets (she rescued a bunch of orphaned and/or injured animals from the ranch she & Mommy used to work at) and I was super excited when Aunt Gail gave me a stuffed turtle to symbolize yet another one of her menagerie of animals (Mommy has already gotten me a goat and a lamb).

Although their visit wasn't all that long I can't wait to see them again. Mommy & Daddy said we are going to visit them in Waco this summer so I can meet all of Aunt Gail's animals and Robert & Daddy can do some fly fishing.

Me & my sea turtle from Aunt Gail & Robert. Aunt Gail actually has a tortise but she couldn't find a stuffed animal of Moe so she settled for this sea turtle... I didn't really know there was any difference, he's still adorable & super snuggly.

Hugs for my turtle & for Aunt Gail and Robert.

It didn't occur to Mommy during the visit that she should take a picture of me and Aunt Gail & Robert or even herself & Gail so these pics are all I have to commemorate the day. Good thing is we will be able to take pics when we see them this summer. Hopefully Mommy won't forget again... although to date there don't seem to be any pictures of my Mommy and Aunt Gail, how'd they manage that?

Peace, love & a visit from friends,
