Kathy and Claire are fine.

Exciting days since we had four different possible back-ups to watch Bea and three were out of commission for various reasons – job interviews, trips to London, chaperoning trips to the Zoo. In the end, it worked but we were fairly sure that Bea would be an unwanted visitor to the zoo and that Kathy’s parents would spend a few hours without a clue about what to do in the airport.

Bea shows she can be gentle

Just like a doll…

 

Bea shares with Grandma J.

 

Thanks Aunt Sandy, Jennifer and everyone for your kind wishes. I’ll be sure to share your comments with Kathy as she serves out her mandatory 5 days in the Swiss hospital.
