Bibi Arrives



Bibi Croom arrived Tuesday evening (July 6th - Happy Birthday Bibi) and has been a godsend since she arrived! She is taking great care of each of us - reading stories, doing puzzles and playing with Luis; holding and loving on Alejo; keeping me company, cooking yummy meals and helping me with my boys. Mom did sweet things for including trips to the grocery store when we were suddenly out of milk, staying home with a sleeping Alejo so I could take/pick up Luis from school, ironed all the stuff in my ironing pile, made and froze lasagnas and casseroles to enjoy after she'd gone. She brought me nice treats from Annapolis. One night, she kept both boys so that Diego and I could go out for Sushi dinner - just the two of us. It was wonderful having her here.

The day after she arrived, she kept Alejo so that I could take Luis to Hunky's after school for a treat - just the two of us!


Turns out that a whole piece of red velvet cake AND a chocolate milk shake was too much for the two of us. Though we did manage to finish both of them off, neither of us ate very much at dinner.

Luis was very excited about her arrival, asking for several days if today was the day. And upon her arrival, he loved on her everyday! Bibi stayed in the guest house and kept a few of Luis's presents out there, including a very large firetruck floor puzzle. Luis must have gone out there at least once a day to work that. About half way through her visit, Luis started going out early (EARLY) in the morning to "snuggle with Bibi until the sun comes up". (Bibi will receive some extra special treats in heaven for allowing that so many days in a row!!)
