Aunt Noonie!
Posted in Walker, Will | 3 Comments »Now this is living! Many of you know and love my sister Lyndsy (aka Noonie, Petunia, Lyndz, Inka). But none of you know and love Noonie as much as my two boys!
When I announced bright and early this morning that we were headed to see her, I got grins larger than heads! Of course I had to spend some talk arguing about how she no longer lives in Santa Barbara – though Will was determined to prove me wrong.
So we drove up to visit Noonie at her new apartment. We had a great drive up – singing songs as we listened to Anne Murray, Raffi, and Wiggleworms! The boys were so excited about the trip that the drive didn’t really bother them.
We had a wonderful time with Lyndsy – though the boys by that time were quite done with being in the car and quite hyper! I think they about scared the crap out of her cats…on purpose….many times!
The best part of the visit (from the kids’ perspective) was that Noonie had brought toys out for them – the CAT toys! And the boys loved them. Walker played, almost the whole time, with a toy that looked something like a cross between a pom-pom and a fishing pole.
And both boys liked the scratching post! Hilarious!
Noonie and I got a little big of bonding time, over Taco Bell and The Office (sweet!), while the boys took naps.
Noonie’s apartment is quite cute. She & Jon have two bedrooms, a nice kitchen, a fantastic bathroom, and a balcony!
Will capped off the trip by taking photos of the apartment. Most of them are really white and you aren’t quite sure if it’s a cat, the carpet, or his hand. He did get a couple of good ones – including this classic Noonie one:
It will be fun when we can head back up there – with a little less time on the road and maybe Eric too so we can tag-team the twosome 
Thanks for the adventure, as usual, Noonie!
