New Faces

Saturday, after the car show, Mallory and I went over to Howerth park for a big family (multi-person) birthday party! It was so much fun, but one of the most wonderful parts about it was that Carrie (one of my cousins) FINALLY got a chance to meet Mallory! It was the worlds sweetest meeting, Carrie cried, Mallory cooed and smiled then they became best friends! Honestly! Mallory LOVED looking at and snuggling with Carrie! Too cute!



That night My Aunt Alicia and Uncle Randy flew in from Poway to meet Mallory and visit with the family! This too was a really sweet first meeting... Alicia and Randy were going to be stopping by our house once their flight landed which was around 6 pm ... but with traffic and all they didn't actually get to our house until around 9:30 (about an hour past the time when Mallory usually goes to bed). We had been trying to keep her up for their arrival and needless to say she was a little fussy about that and kept drifting in and out of sleep. Once they arrived, Aunt Alicia stepped into our home, I put Mallory into her arms, and she literally took a deep breath snuggled into Aunt Alicia's neck and clonked out!
Mallory really fell in love with my Aunt (who hardly put her down all weekend)! It was so sweet to see the immediate bond between them! Between myself, Aunt Alicia, mom and others, poor Uncle Randy hardly got to hold her... Until Monday that is! And then she spend the majority of the day getting rocked, snuggled and kissed by her great-uncle! I felt so blessed to have had them come and visit for the weekend, I miss my southern Cali family and wish I saw them all more.
