Hi! I'm home from California! It was such a perfect visit.
Dottie is so loved and doing super well! Patrick and Shelby are wonderful, doting parents. Dottie is kissed and cuddled and sung to and burped with joy!
She is strong and eating well and just about to coo.
She likes her dressing table!
Sitting up so big. Six weeks. Advanced :o)
Hello Mommy.
One hundred kisses.
Special stop-crying hold.
Good fit. Look at those toes.
Found some light and got some nice clear pictures :o)
A favorite!! HONEY!!!
Oh my gosh.
What's so funny?
One hundred kisses.
Again.
Beloved little girl.
First trip out (not to the Dr. office)
We went to a baker in Oakland that sells chicken sandwiches between 10 and 2.
It was a great success.
Bakesale Betty's
Go there and eat this.
The bun was perfect, the chicken perfect and the slaw was perfect when I picked the jalapenos out.
Beautiful family portrait!
We went to the farmers market in the town where Shelby teaches dance.
She saw a few students and friends while there so that was fun!
New normal :o)
My favorite thing about visiting California;
Patrick, Shelby and Dottie,
Palm trees.
Katie made me a beautiful banner!!!
Be it ever so humble....
Next time I see Dottie she will be so different.
I am very thankful that I had the chance to meet her and love her in person!
Nothing more important to me in the whole world.
Love Donna
