Etty!
Etty came with her darling mama, Lydia, and her fun papa, Joel, all the way from Sweden to spend a few weeks States-side. We were delighted to be able to host them for a few days and catch up with what's been going on in their lives since we visited them last year.
Penelope was stoked that her long-lost friend was back (although there was some initial confusion between "Etty" and "Evie"--her cousin), and Penelope and Etty got right down to the business of playing. It seemed that the language barrier wasn't an issue, but Penelope's willingness to share her toys definitely was.
Here the girls are going straight from an impromptu hug,...
...to a full-on tug-of-war over a favorite toy.
Joel and Lydia were glad to leave behind the snow mounds in Sweden and bask in the warmer temps of NC, but I don't think they were prepared for the record temps we had last week. We took a trip one afternoon to Duke Gardens, but after a couple hours we were sweaty, sun-burned and ready for the AC.
Etty out for a stroll in the gardens...
...with Penelope as her charge.
Unfortunately Joel and Lydia got to experience the perils of the American healthcare system when poor Etty came down with an ear infection.
Penelope tried to cheer Etty up with a coloring session,
but ended up hoarding all the crayons. I think Etty was too sick to care.
Thanks for coming to visit Etty, Joel and Lydia! We had a great time!
