Visiting Aunt Crystal and Mrs. Natalie

On Wednesday, we (Joyce, Kaitlyn, and I) got up early and drove to Austin to see Aunt Crystal and Glenn.  Crystal had not seen Kaitlyn since she was born and was dying to see her.  Since she is the only family member not in Waco, poor thing always has to drive to see us.  This time, we felt like it was our turn to go visit.

We arrived about 9:30 and got a tour of her nice new house.  It is two-story with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and an office. Then we went to Cannoli Joes for lunch at Glenn's suggestion.  We thought about going to the mall, but ended up just hanging out on their comfortable leather couches and talking all day.  Kaitlyn was a good girl until it was time to go home.  She was very fussy in the car.  We stopped and Joyce got in the back seat with her.  She talked to her, but Kaitlyn did not calm down until a blanket was placed over her legs.  Then she was happy and slept all the way home.  Good thing to remember for the next time we travel.  We got home close to 10:00.  Long day, but it was fun!  It's so nice to be off in the middle of the week.

On Thursday, we went to "Aunt" Natalie's house, where Kaitlyn will be spending much of her time (Mondays and Wednesdays while I work).  Lucy greeted as at the door, saying "It's baby Kaitlyn!"  River was a bit jealous when Natalie held Kaitlyn instead of her.  It seems like poor Nat will have her hands full with all 3 of them.  Less than two weeks until I go back to work part-time.  It will be hard to be away from her, but at least I know baby K will be in good hands.
