Meeting the Shoemakers

We finally felt like Ben could make the trip to meet some of the Shoemakers yesterday. He cries for 1/2 the ride but whatever- old hat. He got to meet Gma and Gpa Shoemaker, Aunt Sally and Uncle Keith, Aunt Lauren and Uncle B. He also got to watch us eat a delicious lunch at Gpa and Nana's. Of course I don't have a ton of pics- he drank a record amount during that visit. I can't wait til he is on a schedule!

Our last cat sitting session was also yesterday, so Jackie had one last hurrah to play with P's DocMcStuffins doll while I scooped up delicious clumps from the litter box. Reminded me of Smokey- may he RIP. He was an extraordinary intelligent and beautiful black cat with an ear for my piano playing. Anyway, I don't think I cleaned his litter box more than a handful of times in his entire 17 years of life. Thanks, Mom!
