On Monday, Chris and Papa had a great phone conversation. Of course Papa couldn't see Chris nodding and shaking his head yes or no, along with his audible responses, but I sure could. He has picked up Chloe's habit of walking around the room or house while 'talking' on the phone.
When the girls came home from school, they quickly changed into ballet clothes and spent the next couple of hours doing their own versions of a ballet. They would take turns announcing their dances and then perform freestyle. :)
Tuesday was a very exciting day for Paula and the whole family. Paula and her brother John met for the first time, a sister, Carol, that they didn't even know existed until a few months ago. Carol and her wonderful family visited the area for a few days as the families got acquainted. On Thursday, Papa and I also got to meet Carol, her husband Mark, and two of the their three daughters, Briana and Cierra. What a treat for us! Their oldest daughter, Ashley, had returned home early Thursday morning. The three C's were clearly in love with their newly found cousins. I am told that the older girls spent lots of time playing with and entertaining Claire, Chloe, and Chris. What an incredible blessing for all of them!

On Saturday, Papa and I took the three C's to their local, and favorite park. Several of the play structures have just been redone and it is a wonderful place to visit and play.

A very busy week and a week that will be remembered for a long time!
