A few more snapshots from our day:

Grana came up to help us out for a few days and to spend some time with the girls and had a special surprise for kate. Kate has become very connected to the Care Bears for about 3 months now. We have several care bear movies and a few books but that was the extent of our collections...until...Grana surprised Kate with her own "real" care bear...bedtime bear. Bedtime Bear came into our family about 27 years ago when he became my care bear...then as i out grew him, my sister Caroline became attached to him...and now Kate has adopted him as her best friend...He has been with us 24/7...she does not let him out of her sight.

My cousin Margot came over too for time with our family...Kate enjoyed helping her make corn bread muffins for dinner.

Where ever mom goes her sweet pup Holly comes with her...Kate loves getting on the floor with her and have her give her kisses.
