Ahmmas and Ahmpa!!

(Title translation:  Grandmas and Grandpa)

Last week was a lot of fun because we had visitors!  As we haven’t seen folks in awhile I’m not sure that Julia knew what we were talking about when we kept telling her that her grandparents were coming.  But she caught on fast and was very happy to more people to play with!  First, Grandma Laurie came from Monday to Thursday.  She and Julia played games of memory, played in the sand box, and had egg hunts (plastic eggs, of course).

Julia was also playing around at lunch one day with her napkin and I got this picture:

I thought it was pretty cute because when Mom visited when Julia was about 5 months old she (my Mom, not Julia) was playing with the same napkin and putting it on Julia’s head as a kerchief:

Adorable… then and now!

Unfortunately Grandma Laurie had to leave on Thursday BUT Grandma Lesley and Grandpa Rick arrived on Friday. (There was quite a bit of explaining in the 24 hour gap over Grandmas leaving and arriving).  Julia was now in the swing of visitors and happily showed everyone her new big girl bed, potty accessories, and toys.  She also enjoyed introducing Grandma and Grandpa to Bob the Builder!  Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed introducing her to baseball!!

We have a few details regarding technique to work out but it was an enthusiastic beginning!

On Sunday morning Julia and I got up and made breakfast – sausage and homemade biscuits. Can you tell who liked the biscuit dough????

Unfortunately, Grandpa Rick and Grandma Les had to leave Sunday night and Julia was very sad to see them go.  But we are headed up to RI in a few weeks so no one will have to wait long for a reunion.  AND they left a lasting impression on the baseball front because the Nationals homeopener was on TV when Julia woke up from her nap this afternoon and she chose to watch the last three innings instead of Bob the Builder! Wow!  She might really be an athlete in the making!
