Barb’s Burblings

My sister and her family visited this weekend, which was great; I love seeing Rachael. Kathy and Robert are also nice to see, I guess. Anyway, it was a lovely time and Rachael continues to be adorable:

The cutest was Friday night. We went out to dinner, but apparently Rachael’s going through a phase where she doesn’t want to eat much (though she was very interested in my Golden Grahams on Saturday and Sunday mornings–much more than in the Golden Grahams in her bowl, anyway). We were at a pizza place, and she was just kind of picking at her food. Then she was given the shaker with parmesan cheese. And holy crow. She kept pouring it on her food. Then she poured it on her plate, and used the slice of pizza almost as a spoon to eat the parmesan. She truly is my sister and brother-in-law’s daughter.

Also, I’ve successfully managed to indoctrinate her. She’s big into asking who people are, and asked about the Brian Roberts and Melvin Mora bobbleheads I have. I told her who they were, and showed her another picture of Brian, and she was enraptured. She kept saying “Brian!” and my sister reported that she frequently spoke of him on the drive home. Triumph!

And she calls Pemberley “Plembley.” Which is also very cute.
