Filler
Sorry I’ve been so quiet. My family’s month long visit is finally coming to an end and we’re soaking up the remaining family time. I promise to visit you all again very soon!
So don’t leave me, please? Pretty please with cherries on top?

(Babisodes and Great Grandmasodes this morning)
P.S. Thank you to everyone who voted for me in the Dottie Awards! Especially Karen for nominating me, and Lou for his sweet shout out. You ALL rock!
P.P.S. Holly at Anglophile Football Fanatic is trying to name her new niece on her blog. The name I suggested is up in the running! Head on over and vote for the name “Caitlin” here on her sidebar poll (or for whichever name you like best).






That photo deserves some sort of award. It’s beautiful. Your great grandmother is equisite and w/the babe on the lap. You need to warn me about photos that make me get misty!

That photo is a wonderful keepsake. I’m also glad to hear that the stress of extra people in the house, even when it’s family, is nearing the end. Maybe, before they leave, you can treat them to some pizza!

This is a photo to cherish forever and ever and ever and ever, Sandy. Seriously just so sweet and so precious.
No apologies taking time for family when that’s as it should be. I’ll be here.

We would never ever leave you!
Your blog (and YOU) are far too awesome to not be addicted to! I bet you’re going to be relieved when you get your house to yourself again…but you’ll probably also miss having the fam around too! I go through that all the time now that I’ve moved far away from friends and family. I LOVE their visits and enjoy spending time with them…but I NEED my routine and my space back after a few days. Then when they’re gone, I suffer from withdrawal! Weird, huh? LOL!
Love the photo of Babisodes and Great Grandmasodes! Precious! XO

I would never leave you. Who am I to judge. I’ve gone from visiting some blogs daily to visiting them weekly.
Oh, and I voted for your name. I liked that one and Olivia.

family time is important (although it took quite long), your blog is too addictive to leave.

Glad to hear that after a month of house guests, let alone family, that you haven’t thrown yourself in front of a bus. Good luck finishing up the trip.
