Special Visitors

Shannon brought Mima and Buddy up for the weekend while Brian was in Seattle with his family. Buddy was excited to come to Grandpa's house. I'm glad he is old enough now to know who we are and remember our house and the stuff we have for him to play with. Mima on the other hand needs some time to warm up again....Now you may think that I take a lot of pictures of her because she is my only granddaughter..There may be a little truth to that, but these pictures were my attempt to capture her lips. She has the most expressive lips. Always making funny little shapes. They are SO Cute!!!

All of these toys except that truck with the red cab on Mima's right were toys that our children played with when they were babies.
Not this Mater one. 
 Or this big blue truck in the front of the picture.  
We had two of these rattles. We got one when Corinne was born and then another when Shannon was born. They were like break through child development toys at the time. See even Buddy is fascinated by it!
We bought a couple little pools for the grand kids, but it ended up being a bit of a dud. We didn't realize it was so shallow.


Shannon left on Sunday evening so the babies would sleep on the way home. The traffic stopped south of Mesquite. She was able to inch her way to an off ramp and get back to Mesquite where she let the kids eat and play at a McDonalds. She made the decision to drive back here and stay another night. Shannon handled the crisis incredibly well. We love that they live close by.

I'm pretty sure I had one of those rattles too! Glad you had a fun weekend with family.
