Yesterday we said goodbye to a member of our family, Quinn's Eeyore. Eeyore joined us as a replacement "lovey" after the tragic loss of Dog at Wal-Mart last summer. So anyone who has been around Quinn knows Eeyore and Dog have gone everywhere with her and was really a security blanket, but Quinn also sucked her fingers and became more introverted at times with him. I cam to the realization that she would never willingly give him up and it was going to start being a problem.
So, yesterday after church when she wasn't paying attention I hid him and Cat (Eeyore's backup). She has asked for him a few times, we have tried to change the subject or say we aren't sure where he is. She did tell each of us that she really needed him because she wanted to suck her fingers and even told Lance she couldn't sleep without sucking her fingers so she needed him. But she did fine, she didn't even cry last night. We are sure that in a couple days he will be long forgotten.
We went to the Ritz Carlton's family picnic yesterday, it was all 4 DC Ritz's and Corporate. It was really nice they had a lot of games and activities for the kids, we all had a great time.

Poor Eeyore. I'm sure he's missing Quinn!! Glad the picnic was yesterday and not in Saturday's heat. I'm sure both girls had a fun time. Is that a WVU cheerleading outfit I see Quinn wearing in the 1st picture's background? See you soon.
Love, Grandma Raffo
