"Mom, you won't believe it, Paige called my brother her future son-in-law yesterday and his face turned as red as a cooked lobster!" Ivy tattled.
"You little rascal, are you trying to get me in trouble?" Paige tried to scoop up Ivy.
Baillie chuckled and quickly stepped in to stop her, "No heavy lifting, remember?"
"But I'm not heavy!" Ivy protested. But she didn't try to climb onto her mother either.
Mom had always said that childbirth was really hard on the body, and since her godmother had just given birth to her little girl not long ago, she was still recovering, and she needed to be gentle and careful.
"I apologize, Ivy, that was a poor choice of words," Baillie said, smiling at her .d2
"I'll forgive you for my little sister's sake!" Ivy declared as she climbed into their car and buckled herself into her booster seat.
Rosalynn glanced at Wayne and saw him looking at their daughter with a doting smile. Her worries seemed to temporarily dissolve.
A few minutes later, they were joined by little Cory.
Seeing Wayne and Rosalynn return, the joy in Cory's eyes was evident. He was excited for their camping trip and had made a lot of preparations, especially since Molly was joining too.
Recently, Molly had been following Calvin around and had developed a strong interest in insects. Cory decided to build a bug lamp to collect insects from the woods for Calvin and Molly.
The lamp was already finished.
He had been a bit disappointed, thinking that their parents might not come back in time and the camping trip would be canceled.
Once they were all in the car, Ivy shared her the story about Baillie calling her heavy. But she ended it on a positive note, saying she had forgiven him for Trista's sake.
"Little Trista sure has some pull in this family," Cory said, giving a thumbs up.
"Of course, she's our youngest and most precious darling!" Ivy said proudly, patting her backpack. "I even brought a gift for her today!"
