Before Sadbh went to sleep
last night Katie told her that Poppy was coming to visit for the weekend.
She had a great sleep and
woke up asking where Poppy was. She searched all over the house until Katie
explained that he was due to arrive later in the day.
Mommy made Sadbh
banana-blueberry pancakes for breakfast and Sadbh devoured two enormous
ones. Afterwards, they packed up
the stroller headed off for a walk.
Katie had some errands to do
up on Broadway and afterwards they nosed around in the shops for a bit. Sadbh was in her element and she loved
looking at all the dresses, shirts, purses, shoes, earrings and everything else
she spotted.
On the way back, Sadbh
quickly fell fast asleep in her stroller so Katie decided to continue walking
around Capital Hill. Sadbh didn’t
sleep long, however, and when she woke up, Katie and Sadbh both enjoyed a nice
cold ice cream treat.
Sadbh was in such a good
mood that Katie decided to take her with her for a quick pedicure. Sadbh sat on Katie’s lap while Katie
had her toes painted. No doubt the
first of many Mommy and Daughter pedicure visits.
Sadbh and Katie made their
way home just in time to get everything ready for a quick trach care routine as
soon as daddy got back from work.
Trach care went well and as soon as we were done, we packed up in the
car to go get Poppy from the airport.
On the way to the airport,
Sadbh received a beautiful video from her little cousin in Cork, Fionn. She loves watching videos of Fionn and
asks to see him every day.
As we approached the
airport, Sadbh kept saying that Poppy was right there (pointing out the
window). She soon decided that he
must be hiding behind one of the trees in the distance and he was going to
“pop” out.
She was delighted to see him
and even more excited when we all went out to dinner over in West Seattle. Sadbh had a lovely dinner, but she
mostly loved stealing French Fries from everyone’s plate and wandering around
saying hi to everyone else in the restaurant.
Before heading home we
stopped off for a stroll along Alki beach. Summer is in full swing in Seattle and there is nothing more
beautiful than sunset on the beach.
Half of Seattle must have been out and there was even one little boy who
was buried in sand up to his neck.
Sadbh thought this was very interesting and she stopped to watch him for
quite some time. She was definitely in her element and was even more excited
when she got her second helping of ice cream for the day.
It was a great day all around
and we are all looking forward to spending the long holiday weekend with
friends and family.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
