A Visit; April 14th

Late (well late for me which is not really late for the rest of the world) on Friday night, Grant's good friend Bill and his lovely fiance Kim arrived at Chateu Gifford. Kaylee (and Mommy) were both already retired for the night--so we just pretended they showed up REALLY early Saturday morning (which would be normal for me, albeit rather strange for the rest of the world.)
So here's Daddy with his girl and Bill with his:)
Kaylee truly is becoming a thumb-sucker which I have mixed emotions about. Partly--I am happy that I don't have to worry about a "binky" every 5 seconds and that Kaylee is able to comfort herself all the time--as her thumb is always with her. Partly--I worry about her teeth development. But at the moment--it really is just plain cute!
Naturally we also Kaylee pose with just Bill and Kim. And as an indication of things to come, Kaylee already seems to be "questioning" the validity of her parents' requests.

Of course, being the wonderful baby she is, she acquiesed all the same; but couldn't help letting her true feelings show through.
Bill thought it important to let Kaylee know early that bad hair days can always be rememdied with a hat.
Again, being the kind soul that she is, Kaylee would never argue with a guest...but...she does seem to wonder if this Bill guy has any idea what he's talking about.
Finally, as Bill requested she at least give the "punk look" a try--it became very clear that: "Mommy, this guy is nuts! I am cute no matter what--and this hat is ridiculous!"
We had a wonderful visit and were sad to see them leave, but we know we will see them again soon. Bill and Kim will be married July 14th 2007, and we will all be in attendance to wish them well as they begin a new life together.
