Aunt Jean left today. It's always hard to see her go as the time between our visits can sometimes be lengthy. This time seemed especially hard since Brooke had to say goodbye too (and she had to say goodbye to her). Though she will return soon (for the holidays), in baby time those months can be huge. Brooke will be almost 3 months by then, and the developmental changes in her are likely to amaze Aunt Jean (as well as Brookes parents!!!).
In the few days she was here, Jean quickly learned to pick up on some of Brookes quirky behavior and became almost an expert at soothing and entertaining an occasionaly difficult baby :) She also got to see the sweeter side of Brooke and spent time cuddling with her when she wasnt consoling her. All-in-all I think it was a good visit for all.
Special Note:
I want to congratulate our friend Nicole on her engagement. I havent seen her since the big event and just saw her when she came to visit Brooke this weekend. Nicole, your engagement ring is divine and exquisite!
