Saying Good-bye to Allison.

Today we said good-bye to Jude's nanny, Allison. I think Jude purposely planned to have a cold with an extremely runny nose so she wouldn't miss him as much. If anyone knows Allison, they know she would rather change a poopy bum than wipe a snotty nose. She did admit that after a year with Jude she was much better about the runny nose thing.

She was an absolutely wonderful nanny to Jude. She taught him how to pretend snore in bed, learn his vowels, bring his dishes to the sink, say "Please" and laugh and giggle with all her stories and tickles. We'll all miss her smiling face every morning, never late a day, and know she'll be a success in her new endeavours.

Jude is currently napping getting ready for the big visit to Taber. He's dreaming of corn, cabbage rolls and lots of cuddles from Gramma Annie and Papa Martin. We hope you have lots of kleenex on hand!

Hope you all have some fun plans for the last long weekend of the summer.
