Auntie Amy

We had such a fun time with Amy here this past week. Oliver took to her very quickly and thought she was me some of the time. When we picked her up at the airport he was sleeping and she climbed in the back with him. When he woke up, he gave her smiles and seemed very happy to have the company…until we went through the drive through at McDonald’s and there was more light. Then he figured out it wasn’t mommy and cried. After that adjustment there were no more tears. I really appreciated Amy’s help this week – she changed LOTS of diapers, baked cookies for Paul’s lunches, cleaned the kitchen while we went on a date and spent many hours reading to and playing with Oliver. She also gave us a date every night so we went to a movie, out to eat, and did errands (I don’t think she approved of that as a date, but it felt like one to us!). Amy and I went to Amish country and took a buggy ride, shopped the outlets, went to Philly, watched a movie, took Oliver to the doctor and did some things with my mom’s groups. And more than the help, the company was the best!
