Grandma Visits

Sofia and Olivia's Grandma visited us for a week and we sure had a fun time together. Of course I was completely spoiled by an always ready hand to hold Olivia, change diapers and do every dish in the kitchen...something a girl could get used to! Sofia loved having her Grandma here and had fun having "giggle parties" with her and I think I only heard "Grandma, watch what I can do..." about 100 times. Grandma also brought two coloring books which Sofia immediately started working on and has become very intent on finishing.

On Friday, CK took the day off and we all drove into Dallas to see his office and meet his co-workers. Then we went to Preston Center for lunch and an Orvis visit followed by a Sprinkles cupcake. Finally, we drove to Arlington so Grandma could meet the Bluebird. It was a very fun day.

On Saturday we had Scott, Brenda and the boys over for a BBQ and the kids had a great time swimming and playing together while we talked. Unfortunately I wasn't very good at taking pictures. Most morning we took long walks and it was great to get out and stretch our legs before getting the day started. Even Sofia enjoyed the walks, especially collecting rolly pollys (I think she had at least 30 on one of our walks). The evening before Grandma left, we put Olivia to bed and the three of us went to Sofia's Kindergarden Round-up. I can't believe Sofia will be starting Kindergarden, with her first day being Olivia's 1st birthday. It already makes me sad to think about. But, we are very excited about Kindergarden after meeting her teachers and the other administrators!

We had a great time with Grandma, whether we were out doing things or just relaxing and can't wait for her to return for another visit.

Same photos, but all of us.
