Tia Maria Visits!

Posted on 2015-06-282018-04-10 by jesslee

We had a great visit from Tia Maria recently. Man, my godmother is amazing. It was super duper fun pants to hang out. We even had a few of the Mark Tucker Clan hang out with us during the visit. OH and we had dinner from Farm to Feast which was pretty darn good. Delivered to us by someone we love. Moxie and Keen got some great quality time.

Mark-Tuckers Meet Keen

Yay! The Mark-Tucker Clan came to see us! With Moxie they came to the hospital. But this time we were out of the hospital so quickly they had to see us at home. Moxie was super pumped to see family and Keen slept through most of it (classic Keen behavior frankly). They brought a super fun gift for Mox and a cool book about a gorilla for Keen. Again, though, in typical Keen fashion she just sleeps through readings of the book. Moxie is really into it though. Also: we ran out of dog food and had to buy some from Trader Joe’s. This new food did not agree with Pili and she became one of the most successful biological weapons in American history. She spent the entire visit crop dusting our visitors and almost killed them. We appreciate the Mark-Tuckers’ ability to persevere.

P.S. Tonight Karen brought over an amazing meal and even sat holding Keen while we eat. She wrapped up dinner by playing a couple of rounds of hide-and-seek with Moxie.

Thanksgiving

Moxie’s Thanksgiving went really well. We were grateful for the family and friends we got to spend time with and missed those we didn’t get to see. We spent the day with the Shaffer cousins: Ryan and Helen, the Mark-Tucker Clan: Tony, Karen, and Ruby, and the Marks: Jerry and Sue. We ate delicious food (none of which we contributed–Karen gave us a pass this year with the new baby–we appreciate it because we can barely dress ourselves these days), had wonderful conversation, and spent time with people we love.

Moxie wore her special Thanksgiving outfit we got for like 75% off at Janie and Jack. She looked super cute:

We hung out and helped out in prep for the delicious dinner. We also skyped with Hannah (studying abroad in Scotland this semester).

I’m on the couch chatting with Hannah while others debate the fiscal cliff.

Dinner was, of course, really good and so was the conversation. Moxie slept for most of the meal in the ErgoBaby carrier and then hung out being cute for the rest.
