You would think that she would just love to be held, but No! You best be prepared to help her jumpy jump all around until your arms are about to fall off. Poor Aunt Kate!

Giada and her Aunt Maureen

This is my Aunt Maureen. I spend the night at her house sometimes on Saturdays. She is very fun and watches YouTube Videos with me. She also teaches me about my Irish heritage. Aunt Maureen knows lots and lots about our family history because she is an expert genealogist. She is helping me learn to understand words and is awesome about pointing things out and telling me their names. She also has introduced me to weeding. She can’t wait till I am big enough to help her! Aunt Maureen is big on having a good work ethic. She made my mom learn how to do dishes by hand when she was 4 years old.

Wow! First time away from home. I was a wreck all night and called at like 8:30 am to come get her. When I got there she was happy as a lark.

Giada met Bonnie, Brad’s stepmother, for the first time on our trip to Orange. Nonnie has lots of other grandkids but was very happy to meet Giada for the first time.
