What a busy weekend!

Claire here again. What a busy weekend! Mommy and Daddy's friend Amanda stopped by on Friday (with my soon to be friend Anna). Then Aunt Elise and Cousin Tristan stayed the weekend and helped out. Aunt Elise brought me lots of books -- 'Fancy Nancy', 'Good Night Moon', 'Marshmallow', 'A Mouse Cookie First Library' and 'Mother Goose.' Tristan even changed the tire on Mommy's car. We played poker and as you can see, Mommy ran out of chips and put me on the table. Fortunately, Daddy won that hand. On Sunday, I met my new friend Ella for the first time after her Christening. She's really cool and very pretty. We're looking forward to lots of tea parties together. Daddy gave me a music lesson and I learned scales and arpeggios, then Grandma brought over dinner -- roast beef, asparagus, and homemade chocolate silk pie, mmmmmmm! (see special dedication poem at bottom of page).






Oh how I love you, chocolate silk pie.
You're made from scratch, and that's no lie.
Even the French think you're the most.
Ask Uncle Leo, and he'll boast
that he's never had anything quite like you.
How many pieces? Why I'll take two.
