auntie...

AUNTIE: proper noun
  1. CJ's mommy's best friend and favorite work out partner
  2. Someone who isn't one of CJ's grandmas that has changed more diapers than daddy (even though she lives in a different country)
  3. Someone who, when CJ poops on them, laughs
  4. Fun
  5. A great help
  6. The only person I let load my dishwasher, and don't check to see how they did it after
Last week we had a special treat at our house. CJ's Auntie came to visit all the way from the Netherlands! We love it when Auntie Julia comes to visit. CJ gets spoiled and mommy has lots of fun. The thing that makes life-long friends wonderful is that even though Jules hasn't been at our house in almost a year, it still feels like it did when she was at our house almost every day.

She arrived the day after CJ's ear surgery, so my mom hung around long enough for me to get her from the airport. Since she is a Yankee (and yes, I still love her unconditionally despite this fact), she never had Chick Fil A. We brought it home for lunch, and after we ate, CJ wanted his favorite new book that plays Jesus Loves Me to be inside the Chick Fil A bag. Unfortunately it was too big, but the only way we could get him to stay still long enough to snap this picture was to make it work...


Can you tell he loves her...


Being silly...


Playing with clothes pins while mommy makes dinner...



And last kisses before we had to take Jules back to the airport. :(


I am so thankful for my sweet friend, and I can't wait for her to come back again!
