We flew to Maryland on Saturday, 1/17 to see my sister, Tricia, and her boys. My folks also flew in from Miami. Mom has always had this daydream that Claire would walk to her in the Dallas airport at Thanksgiving, but our little turkey saved her latest trick for New Year's. Claire did walk to Mom, but it was in the Charlotte, NC airport a few months after we expected it. Claire and Mom then sat together and even napped on our flight from CLT to SBY. So sweet!
It was great to see Tricia, Tradd, and Julian. The boys are so creative and full of love! Their knowledge of dinosaurs is astounding and they definitely put Auntie Kate to shame with my pronounciatios! Tradd was extremely affectionate toward Claire, hugging and kissing her any chance he could get. The 3 kids played well together, and Claire was so fascinated with her cousins.
Claire had a blast at Aunt T's old farmhouse. She loved chasing her 2 cats, Britches and Cheddar, around and around, calling, "Mee! Mee!" We had a day of snow-- brr!-- and a whole 6 days of cold. We did take a trip down to Assateague National Seashore-- Floridians on the beach in winter?! That's love for ya!
Goodbyes are never easy, but it was wonderful to be able to get together.
