Babies and mansions


This weekend I did a solo trip to Newport, Rhode Island. Joe is working crazy hours, and gave me the blessing to take the road trip to visit with my friend and work collegue Kathi. Kathi is one of those incredible women. In fact, probably one of the most incredible women I know. She has three beautiful little boys -a five year old and twin one year old boys as well as an incredible career. She started her own very successful Coaching/Training and Consultant firm and she is truly someone I have always looked up to. She was my first coach and inspired me to study coaching. She still continues to inspire me and I just watch her as she handles an incredible home (not the one above), raising incredible babies and an incredible career. I want to be like her!!!! Today I left them, and made my way into the Mansion above. It's the Chateau-su-Mer. A very lavish Victorian style home. Aside from the fact that the family were Republicans (yuck), the home was rather fantastic. Old Italian carvings, deep rich colors, huge rooms and over the top furnishings. Rather interesting and a great way to go back in time. And being with those babies was a great way to look into my future. I couldn't put them down. Watching them I couldn't help but think that one day they will be playing with Lia-Rose. Who knows, maybe way a head in the future they will be dating Lia-Rose :)...but now I jump to far. It was fun being with them....and I loved changing their diapers, smelling their sweet heads, and kissing them all over. A nice way to spend the weekend....

Ooh, what a beautiful place. Glad you had such a fab time with your friend.

Mmmm, smelling babies! I love to smell the backs of their necks, too.

Great! Someday you can tell Lia-Rose that you diapered and munched on her boyfriend! (Hmmmm....) :-D
