Sophia's Weekend

Sophia & I had a busy weekend.....
I got away for one day to New Hampshire for our friend Nate Jacobs wedding, but I will write about that craziness another time, but I felt very Bridget Jones.

It was Kale's 1 year old B-day. He is the son to Angel & Jeremy who are fellow military officers of Jerry's. The other couple, I can't remember their name, so I will call them Carolyn's parents. The father is also in the military and the mother is my new BFF. (I guess not really if I can't remember their names, but I had a great connection with the family). Their daughter Carolyn is turning 1 this week and she was running all over the place, pushing everyone down, stealing other children's toys. I felt that Sophia had finally met her match.
Vroommmmmm.... You know, if I brought this toy to our home, she would not take to it or play with it. So, I am glad this huge toy is sitting in Jeremy & Angels living room.


This chair kept her occupied for maybe 2 minutes.



Play the video. You will see Sophia has the Mourn trucker in her.


Sophia and I went down to visit the Mourn Family on Sunday. Jerry's sister had arrived from Texas and they were having a neighborhood picnic. It seemed everyone on Harper Street came to enjoy fellowship. I would like just to give you a quick update on Harold's health. As I mentioned earlier he has been moved home to be cared by for family & friends. Swallowing is very difficult, so he is having trouble eating and taking medication. He also struggles to talk, so he is quiet and just likes to listen and take in other's conversation. Harold has many many visitors and sometimes it seems like there are too many, but it has always been this way at the Mourn home. Harold does not know a stranger. I think this is a Mourn trait, as his children are all the same, and so are the relatives. Below is a photo of Jerry's brother Michael with Sophia. It was hot on Sunday!!!
