Surprise Toddler Shower

This Saturday John and I went to a BBQ at my Uncle Bennett and Aunt Joyce's home near Redding, CA. Uncle Bennett and Joyce invited my mom's family to their house after my Aunt Mary died as a way for everyone to get together, especially since the last family get together was my Grampa Gooch's memorial service in 2008. I finally got to meet my cousin Jennifer's 2 year old, Danica "Tink". After a great afternoon visiting, swimming, and eating, a few of us were sitting outside when everyone else came out carrying gift bags. I was really surprised and almost cried.Thank you!

I am sorry my Aunt Mary didn't live to see me go to China to get Thomas. After my surgery, she offered to give me her uterus. If only that would work. I love and miss you.
