Auntie Kaley's surprise visit

My cell phone rang at 7:30 yesterday morning. Figuring my friend had forgotten that I wasn't going to church and since I was in the middle of feeding Kara, I let it go to voice mail. When I heard the chime of my voicemail, I was a little surprised.

As soon as I could, I checked my voicemail and to my happy surprise, it was my sister - she had a 10 hour layover here in town and was hoping we could get together. With the long layover, I was able to drive up and bring her back here for the day. We had perfect timing, because when we arrived, Jana had just finished lunch and Kara was up from her nap. Oh, it was so wonderful to spend time with her!

Jana and Kara had a wonderful time with her. Kara just snuggled right in and drooled all over Kaley! Hee, hee! And Jana was performing her finest for her!

She was able to play with the girls until they both went down for a nap and then Kaley and I stole away for some girl-time (and a little grocery shopping).

When we returned home, Jana was going in full force again. She showed off her animal sounds, and baby sign language. She ran from room to room at full speed and climbed on everything she could.

Kaley even spoiled us and made dinner for us. MMMMM, it was fabulous!

I think the highlight for me was seeing Jana climb up into Kaley's lap and give her a kiss! I think there is no greater joy as a parent than watching your kids love the people that mean the most to you.

I just wish I had pulled out the camera. Especially since Jana was walking around in her "I don't do pink" black t-shirt and her pink Dora pullups (with purple socks).

Thanks for visiting Kales!
