Mor and Jackie Sleepover

Yes, I know that COVID is not over. And also, thank goodness for vaccines! A year ago, we were thoroughly discouraged from seeing people outside of our family, which unfortunately, included chosen family. This meant that Aunt Mor's baby girl and even a brand new, still-to-come baby boy kept growing completely without me. Because of vaccines, Mor and Jackie could extend a weekend visit in Austin with Eric's family for a night with us. And they could come into our house. And they could play. And they could hug. And it was lovely.

Aunt Mor is very very allergic to cats. If/when she visits Team Cohen, she takes drugs. However, this meant that 1.5 year old Jackie had never met a kitty. And she was enamored! My kiddos, on the other hand, were pretty enamored with Jackie.


Never did Mor nor I imagine (almost) 30 years ago when hanging out in 2nd grade that we would one day bathe our kids together. Pretty wild reality.


After bath, Gabi took charge of showing Jackie the rest of our circus, which included the hamster and a tour of the dog crate.


Since we could, we snuck out for some fro yo and a stroll in the park after all the kiddos went to bed.

Jackie may not have understood the value of taking a quick morning picture before departing, but Mor and I (and baby boy) certainly figured it out!
