So nervous to talk to her, but she is just a regular person. Just as I imagined-Sweet, smiling, happy. Nervous to the Nth degree, I talked a mile a minute and didn't even TAKE PICS! doh! Met Lexi; Dani's daughter. She is even cuter in 3D than in Dani's LOs. Quietly running around, she reminded me very much of my own little girl so many years ago. I wanted to steal her! Yes. I wanted to steal ANY of those kids. Shawna has 3 wonderful little boys. You can see she is an awesome mother as the boys are so attuned to her. Their eyes are full of love for this mother of theirs. Toys galore and a play yard in the back that any child would envy. A cherry tree in the yard that bears fruit they were telling me about. Those kids were so gracious to a total stranger. Such a wonderful home and full of love. I missed meeting George by minutes as he was due home any time. :( Shawna showed me her design studio and I was so impressed with her extensive knowledge. I did bother her with a couple questions which she so nicely took time to answer. I suppose on the virtual world, I had imagined Shawna as taller than me. Well, this little girl packs quite a lot of talent into that bod! Probably sounding dumb...What DID she think of my statement..."You're shorter than I imagined!" SO Sorry Shawna. I was nervous and say dumb things like that. She laughed and said "My lack of height is a well kept secret around here." Such a sense of humor. Such a very short time to visit. I very much wish I could have stayed for hours with those kids. They were adorable. Dani=Thank you SO much for surprising me by coming over! Shawna=Thank you SO much for graciously having me to your home. Absolutely Wonderful Trip. So many Great memories.
