Baby Love

I had two days in a row off this week, something that hasn't happened for a while, so I tripped it out to Ortonville for some Mimi time.





She is staying with my parents while her parents are in Ethiopia going through court to acquire two more munchkins. We did our best to stay busy, but with the chilly, rainy, epically windy weather it was challenging. Our activities included baking...






karaoke...



playing puppy...



and a great deal of our time was spent with this little guy...



That is the cat formerly known as Toby. Due to a hilarious mispronunciation by the little one, we now call him Toady. My grandparents found him in their garage, and my parents got him by default.



The addition of Toady into the household meant that I spent most of my relaxing time off chasing my niece around the house saying "Don't squeeze, Mimi. Remember to be very gentle with Toby. He's just a little baby. Meron! Meron! Don't squeeze him!"

But Toady was far more patient about that then I was.
