We are home again from a whirlwind trip to Missouri! We drove up on Thursday, visited on Friday and Saturday, and drove back on Sunday! Phew! I will let some pictures tell the story!
We all visited Grandma at the nursing home Friday afternoon, and she loved meeting Allen! She was an old pro, holding him, rocking him, catching his toys, and talking to him. Allen did well with her, too, thankfully!
Allen started to get fussy with Great-Grandma because he was hungry! I tried to take Allen so I could feed him, and Grandma turned him away from me! I ended up just sitting down next to them and reaching over to feed him his bottle! That bought us some more precious time with her.
"Come on, mommy! Let's go swing!" We always have to swing with Old Grandpa! We did this every day, several times a day! It's fun to see James enjoy it as much as I did when I was little! So many generations have enjoyed that swing.
On Saturday evening, we went over to my Uncle Terry's house to play with his grandson, my cousin, Allison's, son, Brandt. Brandt is around 6 months older than James, and they had a blast together! Here you can see both the boys playing with Allen, and Allen having a blast! LOVE this picture!
We enjoyed a fun evening out on Friday at Eagle Pass Winery, not too far from town, with our older sister, Megan! We enjoyed a wine tasting, delicious dinner, and hilarious conversation! I have some awesome sisters!
