Maeve was an adorable snail this weekend at her playgroup and friends’ Halloween parties!
She is fighting a cold now, but she was a trooper at her check-up Monday night. She got her flu booster shot and we found out that she gained a whole pound! She’s up to 18 lbs. 4 oz. Maeve started blowing kisses this week too and has a new tooth (her 7th; a molar) coming in. We’re looking forward to our trip to visit Grandnana and Aunt Nancy next week!
Unfortunately, we also got some very sad news this week when we learned that our beloved Aunt Julie (my dad’s youngest sister) passed away. She was one of my very early examples of a great mom and she offered me my first opportunities to pretend to be one to her kids – I have such wonderful memories of visiting with her when her babies were little and of her trusting me to take good care of my young cousins. I also have the happy times with Aunt Julie at our family holiday gatherings and, most recently, at my own and my cousins’ weddings to cherish as well. She had the most beautiful smile and an infectious laugh.
I miss her very much.
