Girls Trip

We had a great little visit with Poppa and Gigi. The whole trip was pretty quick as we arrived Tuesday afternoon and left Thursday morning. The first afternoon after we arrived we discussed doing various activities but were all so tired we ended up just sticking around the house and visiting. It was so great to introduce Gigi and Poppa to their third great-grandchild. Tuesday night we received a phone call from Sean well after Aiden's normal bedtime. Aiden couldn't fall asleep because he was so worried that Caileigh might wake up and be frightened. I think it was strange for Aiden to be falling asleep upstairs alone. He felt better after talking to Caileigh although he ended up sleeping with Sean both nights anyway. Wednesday we had a visit with the Great Aunties. Great Auntie Margaret just celebrated her 93rd birthday so we had a cake and coffee party. Caileigh was thrilled that we had cake for lunch. The afternoon was spent between Costco and the mall. Thursday we were on our way home. Caileigh kept saying that she wanted to go back to Gigi and Poppa's because she had such a great time! Mikayla was thoroughly spoiled with a ton of gorgeous new knitting and Caileigh came home with a new baby doll. Thank you again Auntie Margaret, Auntie Ina, Gigi and Poppa!!













On a side note, Caileigh has been extremely interested in bears for the last couple of months. Every day, several times a day, she makes references to "The Bears". Some of the comments she can be heard saying are,
"I better clean up my lunch, so the bears don't get it."
"I will put my feet under my blanket so the bears don't get them."
"We better get home quick so the bears don't get us."
I have several theories about why she is so infatuated with them. It could be because of her nickname, "Caileigh Bear". It could possibly be because she overhead us talking about bear sightings in the summer, or maybe it is from one of her books or a television show. The possibilities are endless I suppose but until we figure out why, it is pretty funny and always puts a smile on my face.
