I took Giada home yesterday morning because I had a doctor’s appointment at noon.  She was glad to see her house and her kitty cats and Joanna.  She fussed a little when I left but not much.  She did crawl all over looking for her mommy and daddy, but she is very fond of Joanna.  When I went to pick her up after Bible Study this morning, both she and Brad were asleep so they must have had a rough night.  She had some new scratches on her face, too, so she may have had to get reacquainted with the cats.  We went to the Arboretum to check out the Kindermusik once she woke up.  She loves seeing all the little kids roaming around.

I hope Amy got to Florida O.K. , though with Amy no news is usually good.  I do have good news about Gia.  She slept eleven hours last night, nine-thirty to eight-thirty.  She was asleep at eight-thirty, but woke up at nine which was just as well since I had forgotten to give her her medicine.  She still has a runny nose, but she is napping now.  She has been asleep forty minutes.  We are going to take her to the Arboretum when she wakes up.  She ate a good breakfast, toast with poached egg yolk and grapes.  I cut them in four pieces and she eats them up.  She also ate a lot of watermelon yesterday with ground beef.  I am buying the ninety-seven percent lean so I don’t worry about too much fat.  I made a beef roast last night with onion soup mix for today.  Probably too much salt, but the iron and B vitamins will make up for it.  We sure do enjoy having her.  She is such a sweet baby and loves her grandma and granddaddy.  I hear her now gooing and cooing in the crib.
