Katie is engaged! We are very close with our neighbors and learning that Katie got engaged is thrilling. We've loved her grow since the day she was born and she often was over her playing with our granddaughter or doing crafts when they were kids.
Katie got engaged the Sunday before Christmas. We are thrilled for her! She met her fiancee in college. He was ROTC and is now doing his time in the U.S. Army. He's a very nice young man and we always know when he's come to visit because of the huge smile on Katie's face. Congratulations Katie!
Well no one came home for Christmas (just like the rest of the population) because of the weather. But we did chat with everyone and my husband, mom, and I had a nice dinner together. The highlight is the new baby in the family, my great-niece Remi.
This year we didn't know what to get her or her big brother Owen (now 5). Owen was diagnosed with severe allergies earlier this year and he can't have any kind of pet. Remi loves cats (she sees her grandmother's cat) and we decided to get the kids robotic pets. These are the kinds that are often given to dementia patients but it is a good substitute for Owen.
Owen loves dog!
And then...Maggie sent me a video with the message: "Good thing we don't have pets!"
Remi was sitting in between the cat and the dog. When the cat meowed, she began yelling at the dog and even walloped the poor toy a few times. She was a wild child! But then the puppy toy barked---and Remi attacked the kitten toy. She's hysterical and no one really knows what was going on in her head.
So the kids as usual made the holiday complete and gave us all something to laugh at!
Wishing you a safe and happy New Year's!

Hi Michele! Oh my goodness - Remi looks like a hoot. The robotic toys are a great idea! How sweet that Katie is engaged. It sounds like she is as close as family. I know you will get to be involved and maybe there will need to be a special quilt for the couple. How exciting! Happy New Year, my friend. Take care and stay safe. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
Isn't it fun to watch kids grow up - even when they're not your own - and move on in their lives?! I feel that way about my nieces and nephews. So fun to see where life takes them. I didn't know robotic pets were a thing, but they must be quite fun! I do know the folks at my mom's place love when people bring their dogs for a visit. I wonder what they would think of a robotic dog!
Sounds like that cat and dog are a hoot! Happy New Year!
Michele - it would seem the toy pets are as realistic as real ones! But, "no animals were harmed in this video ..." Our daughter and her fiance were not able to make it to Indiana (the home of our future in-laws) for Christmas due to ice on the roads - our daughter was quite disappointed - as I write this, they are on their way for a delayed celebration ... Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
The robot cat and dog are such a great idea! The storm was rain for us but we did lose electricity the day before Christmas Eve. I got up early and cooked Christmas Eve morning. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Feliz año, que sigas rodeada de tus seres queridos cada día de él.
Besos
Remi sounds like she has everything in control to her liking, lol. Happy New Year!
