starnes visit






So sad, our family has left. We had a wonderful visit with Granny Suki, Granddad Colin, Auntie Deanna and Uncle Matthew. All have left and the house now feels so lonely and quiet! We managed to do quite a few fun things, trips to the outlet malls, Everett baseball game, a trip to the zoo, walking a round the sculpture park, visiting with Cousins SJ and Farayi, dad was wonderful and did many needed tasks around the house including installing a nice new screen door out front and rearranging our garage not to mention hours of yard work! Lucy loved meeting her family and they loved her. Gracie was beside herself with excitement and especially took to Deanna who gave her spa treatments in the bath and read books galore! Gracie started her new school this week and immediately felt at home and already has a new best friend named Rose.
