Another Note From Auntie M
The first thing I do when I get home from work is look at the "pet care update sheet" to read the blurbs about my children's day. I always get a kick out of reading the comments from the pet sitter of the day. On this day, in the comments about my day column, Auntie M wrote about Benny, "5 stars (actually 4 1/2 because he almost peed on Henry marking the fence!)" For Henry, she offered, "4 stars. Minus one because we all had to wait for him in the sun extra long for him to poop. LOL" And by now, we are sensing a pattern that little Luna is the favorite with this comment, "5 stars because she is a princess!" And even Cupid got a "5 star" rating. After all the commentary, Auntie M completed the update with, "Everyone is actually 5 stars today. I just like teasing the boys! "
The thing about Auntie M, that we appreciate more than words can say, is that she really loves our family. Beyond that she is trustworthy, dependable and "gets" us. She has helped our family get through this transition with relative ease. Granted, Henry had a little bit of a rocky couple of first days, but now things are in a super new routine and it really would not have been as easy without her help and support.
Auntie M is a little more lenient with her star ratings, too. If I busted Benny for almost peeing on Henry, no way would have earned 4 1/2 to 5 stars. That would have been a 3 star day maximum. Hahaha!

You found a true treasure in Auntie M. She sounds like a fun lady with a good sense of humor and a love for the puggers and Cupid. What a blessing she is. Please tell her thank you for me for being such a great person.
When I read about Henry having a little tough time adjusting to Mom not being at home, that was an aww moment.
Here’s to many more fun journal entries from Auntie M.
