A visit from Aunt Babs

Daniel's aunt Barb decided to spend her 2nd week of retirement helping us settle into our new house :) Doesn't that sound like a fun way to relax into retirement? :) The girls enjoyed her company (especially since Daniel was gone all week at the other base) and the oodles and oodles of bead necklaces she brought. Lauren decided to make a person out of some of the necklaces.....

While Shannon decided she wanted to wear them all for a moment.

One of the many projects she helped me accomplish was sorting through 3 bins of girl baby clothes I was holding onto just in case we ever had another and it turned out to be a girl. This pile is probably 1/3 of what once was before I consigned at the JustBetweenFriends Sale 3 seasons....imagine what that stack would have looked like!

As a thank you for all her hard work (hanging pictures, curtains, endless laundry, sorting clothes, carpet cleaning our entire upstairs, organizing cupboards, the list goes on and on) we decided to take her to brunch Saturday in nearby Suisun City at a restaurant I found online that had rave review and was called Bab's Delta Diner (perfect for Aunt Babs!)

Bab's Delta Diner

Amazingly she survived a week of drama from the girls (end of summer break and still recooping from being up in Oregon all of July). We were even able to utilize the last free hours of our military move's free childcare before it expired and enjoy an afternoon getting massages and lunch (much needed after all the projects we accomplished)!
