Great pics, Karen @kareninflorida and Mandy! I had a blast today!!! Riding with Karen was a hoot! We laughed all the way there and back.
As always, it was great seeing Carrie @snuggle2me - my other partner in crime.
It was great seeing Mandy @colee1970 and Alice @alicekay56 again, although, I lost Alice…I’m so sorry, Alice!!!
(Melanie, @Blissfulbabies, we missed you!)
I was so excited to meet Julie @jubileej and Allison @Awise1to! Julie’s babies are adorable and I fell in love with two of them! It warmed my heart for her to hold my Marissa (Grant).
Allison brought her first three babies…she has some natural talent! ![:blush: :blush:](//discourse.bountifulbaby.com/images/emoji/twitter/blush.png?v=9)
So, my morning started out with getting Marissa ready.
On the way to Auntie Karen’s, we had a stoplight catch us short so it was a fast stop and I felt the car seat hit me in the back. I pushed it back on the seat but it felt really light…Marissa was now sitting on the floorboard.
She was happy so I left her there. This is how I found her when I got to Auntie Karen’s:
Yes, I just earned the “Mother of the Year” award - NOT!!
Julie’s table looked great! Here she is holding Marissa.
These are my favorite babies of hers:
This is a lady that couldn’t get over Karen’s baby and Marissa. Notice the doll in her bag on the bottom left. ![:laughing: :laughing:](//discourse.bountifulbaby.com/images/emoji/twitter/laughing.png?v=9)
This adorable romper is the only thing I bought:
And, because it was just that good…here’s my view of the dessert Karen and I shared:
I had a great day!!! Karen learned that I can be kinda’ slow sometimes. I was touching an adorable baby and oohing and ahhing and Karen was next to me chanting “Don’t touch it, don’t touch it…” I was so enamored with it, I totally didn’t see the sign that said “Do not touch.” Whoops!!!
I learned that I must rescue Karen when strange men talk her ear off and won’t let her leave their table. Sorry, Karen. ![:kissing_heart: :kissing_heart:](//discourse.bountifulbaby.com/images/emoji/twitter/kissing_heart.png?v=9)
After dropping Karen off, I stopped at Starbuck’s and got an iced tea for the ride home…mmmm, icing on the cake. ![:smile: :smile:](//discourse.bountifulbaby.com/images/emoji/twitter/smile.png?v=9)
