Unusual Weekend

This past weekend was a bit unusual because Papa Norm went to LA. He usually does an annual trip with some of his "bird buddies" and they attend a popular bird show in the LA area.

While Papa was away, Grandma spent some time with Paula and the girls on Saturday. We attended a Baby-Eco Faire in Chico at the fairgrounds. There were lots of interesting and natural products that pertained to babies, childbirth and children in general. One vendor touched my heart deeply. She was a photographer and stopped Paula to tell her that she had lost twin girls at birth and that she has a special place in her heart for twins. She offered to do free pictures for her sometime. I thought that was very sweet.

The girls were as "good as gold". Claire slept most of the time and Chloe looked around and took in all the sights. At one point Chloe let us know she was hot but as soon as she was picked up and cooled off she was instantly fine again. The babies experienced their first thunder storm as we were leaving. I'm not sure they noticed, but Paula and I sure did. Those thunder clouds came along with all of the lightening that has caused our many, many fires in Northern California.

Uncle Jon is fighting one of them, I'm not sure exactly where but somewhere near his station.

I am praying for his safety.

The picture is one from last week of Claire sitting in her Bumbo chair looking at me with those big, big eyes.
