Day 3, 4, 5, & 6
I was in Orlando by 9:30 the next morning so excited to meet Emma & see Claire, Sara & Kevin. The next few days were filled with so much joy & fun! Lots of time with this sweet precious baby & running, laughing, playing & reading with our wonderful Claire!
First time in the double stroller outside enjoying this magnificent weather!
Valentines Day with this little sweetheart!
Claire loved playing in my ‘camper-car’
Day 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14
I picked up Danny & his mom at the airport on Saturday…he was soooo happy to be here too! And Claire was thrilled to see her Grandpa & Great Grandma.
Our last day was filled with play & lots of hugs!
I took Danny & Phyllis to the airport & headed back to Sara’s. Sara & Kevin were getting to go out to a play tonight & Jill was coming over to help me babysit Emma & Claire. It was so great having her there to share this experience & Claire was enthralled with Jill!
It is always soooo hard to leave. I tucked Claire in bed, reading to her & giving her one last hug, both of us knowing I’d be gone when she woke upon the morning. I gave Emma a late night bottle & treasured every moment…with Jill understanding my leaking tears. Sara & Kevin had invited us to stay the night, but Jill had already set up her trailer at a local KOA. They had yet to be alone…just the 4 of them…since having Emma. Kevin’s mom had been to visit then the 3 of us. I thought it was important for them to have a weekend day all together….so, with a sad but so grateful heart for this wonderful family, I hugged Sara & Kevin & said goodbye. It had been such a wonderful visit. (eyes leaking again as I type)
