Grandma's Columbus Day Weekend Visit



Grandma Marcia came to visit last weekend and it was a blast! She came on a great weekend because it was Fleet Week which meant the Blue Angels were going to do an air show on Saturday and Sunday. When Grandma arrived, Emma was sleeping and when she woke up Grandma went to get her. Emma was so excited to see her – she had a huge smile on her face and loved that she was here.

We went to the park to watch the Blue Angels show and we met up with Darleen and Sadie. It was so cute to see the girls play together. We have to do it again soon.

On Sunday, we went to Cal Academy of Arts and Sciences and went to see the butterflies. We also went to the aquarium. Emma loved seeing the butterflies and the fishes. It is so fun to watch her explore and look at everything.

On Monday, Judith came and took care of Emma while my mom and I went shopping. It was so much fun and Grandma and Grandpa bought Emma a bunch of clothes. We can’t wait for Emma to wear the clothes. One of the cutest things Grandma bought was a little jean jacket. It is absolutely adorable! Later that afternoon, we all went to the park. Grandma was able to meet a bunch of Emma’s friends and see what Emma does on a daily basis. Emma had a blast crawling around the playground (although Grandma thinks it is too dirty for her to do that) and playing with Audrey. After the playground, we ran to music class. We were a few minutes late but it was OK. It was really nice to see Emma enjoy music class and for my mom to partake in the fun. Emma loves going to music class. She pays such close attention to everything going on and loves being with all the people. They played Casey and the Sunshine Band and Emma was shaking her booty. To say she loved that song is an understatement. She as laughing and having a grand ole time!

Grandma fed Emma dinner – well she tried to but Emma didn’t really want to eat much. And what ensued afterwards was one of the most memorable Emma moments ever. Emma was hysterically laughing for the next 30 mins or so every time she looked at my mom or my mom looked at her. She was working herself up and it was hilarious. She didn’t care/laugh when Jamey and I looked at her only when my mom did. It was the sweetest thing! She has never done that for us before and it was so wonderful that she was acting this way with my mom. It was so special and Jamey and I will never forget.

Emma loves her Grandma so much and it was so evident during her visit. She had such a wonderful time with her and was sad to see her leave. But we are looking forward to spending lots of time with our family during the holidays.
