Sister Time

I know Meta wishes she had been able to have a real Girls Night Out while I've been in town. She worries that she hasn't pampered me enough. But I've been really glad that I could be so useful while I'm out here, and she has taken me to the coolest library ever. And today we went into Cleveland after spending an hour in the hospital this morning (since the kids can't go in to see Todd, I walked the halls with Catherine and David while Meta visited him; Abby and Nathaniel were being watched by friends). It was fun to get a sense of what Cleveland is like (well, the nice areas!).

Then we drove to a science/nature museum. Lots of animals for David to see, both inside and out.




He and Catherine have done a lot of jockeying for position. It will be great when they get a little older and appreciate each other! A couple of times I've been holding Catherine on my
lap, and David will come up and get upset, saying, "My mommy!" I try to affirm that, yes, I am his mommy, but I'm also Catherine's aunt and need to show her love too. He still doesn't
like that!






Also, the cousins had the requisite cousin bath a few nights ago. Rampton tradition! Abby is
getting a little old, so this might be her last one!
