While I was here I met my grandma's son's wife and their kids! They are really sweet and they treat me like they have known me my whole life. They have come to see us almost everyday. The kids, both girls, are 5 years old and 2 years old. The 2 year old is crazy!! But she is sweet as could be, her name is Sophie. The 5 year old, Addison, didn't like me much at first, but now she really seems to like me. Me and there mom, Lindsley, are always the last two people at the table eating. She really likes cake and I really like Ice Cream!! She has an excuse for eating so much though, she is 5 months pregnant with her 3rd child! I am sad I will be back in China when the baby is born, I would love to be here when it arrives.
Today and for the rest of the week we are staying at my grandpa's friends house to watch his dog. He lives in a VERY nice house with a pool and hot tub out back. He is really nice and has known me since I was a baby. ( I think that my grandpa made sure that the whole of Alabama knew my name though so I am no longer surprised when people I've never met know me! ) His dog is very special to him. His wife got her as a puppy three weeks before she died of cancer. Jean, the friend, was extremely upset by the passing of his wife and in turn became very attached to this dog. So when he is gone my grandpa comes and watches her. The only problem is she is 13 year old, which is really old for a dog. So we are scared that she will die soon and Jean will be devastated. But for now she is in good health!
Also today, We had a lot of people over. Lindsley and her kids and husband, Ashley (cousin) and her husband and 3 month old and a cousin of Lindsley's daughters.They were all swimming in the pool and acting crazy. I helped make food for everyone and made sure everyone had something to drink and things like that. My cousin Ashley's baby is really cute. He is three months old, but he is the size of 7 month old! So he is really big and fat! He is soooooo fat! I love him already, he is so cute. I really love fat babies.
All in all, summer has been good so far! But for now I have to go to bed. The last of the family left here at 11:30 and got here at 4. So I am exhausted from playing with kids and babies! Good night everyone! Hope you are having a great summer!!!
