"Where's Noni"????

Well, it's been a great two weeks...but Noni and Granddad (my inlaws) have departed to return home.  I was completely prepared for the dreaded question..."Where's Noni?"  I made sure to get up and out of the house early, load us with a list of errands to do and follow that with some fun stuff for the rest of the day.  So far, it's only been somewhat effective!  But we can't complain, we had a wonderful time. Two full weeks of 1st Birthday parties, Nameday celebrations, Church services, sunshine, beaches, pools, restaurants, parks - all quality family time.  Sophia didn't give her grandmother a minute to breathe, as if she is her own personal little playmate!  (Pretty sure Noni didn't mind a bit).  The little princess also got to eat WAY MORE macaroni than any toddler should eat over that period of time, lots of snacks and even the forbidden GUM from Noni.  We will miss you guys and we're already looking forward to our next visit together.  Are we counting the days yet???
