Aunt Linda

Kind of funny how well the kids get along with Aunt Linda. Most adults they're meeting for the first time they're kind of standoffish with.....Kate fearful, Jack shy. Jack beforehand isn't sure he even wants to see somebody, and we're always like, "She gave you the..." or whatever.

But Linda is going home tomorrow so tonight they said Goodbye. Kate spent a lot of time being held by her, while Jack had a nice little talk with her as she was leaving; then, at the door, ran over to give her a big hug. Nice to see.

He also cracked up when she read him his first Peanuts "page-a-day" calendar comic strip. Evidently Aunt Linda read him the funnies over at Grandma's last Sunday, and he laughed it up all the way through them. Something obviously we don't do enough, which is going to change going forward. So thanks, Aunt Linda.
