Granny comes to town

We had a mid-week treat for lunch today! Granny came to town. My mom and dad are taking my Granny to see her sister in New Mexico for a few days. What a road trip that will be, right?! My poor dad=) Trapped in a car with his wife and her mother, equally as bossy and stubborn! And guess what......I'm just like them! And I couldn't be more proud.

They stopped for lunch as they were passing through so Granny could see the house and see Natalie! It has been since Christmas if I remember correctly (and that is just sad!).  NJ sure has changed since then! Mom keeps her posted with pictures, but that's just not the same. I'm glad Granny got a chance to hear her chatter and laugh. Sweet, priceless memories. I hope Natalie will somehow recall these memories when she is older. It breaks my heart that she won't truly know or remember her Papa. He and Granny together are the family example for how to build a strong, Christian marriage. 67 years to be exact.

Granny took Nat on a ride on her walker and Natalie loved it! The funniest part was watching Granny (who obviously is not a quick mover) take off like she was racing to the door with Natalie making truck noises! I nearly got tickled seeing her move so quickly (relatively speaking). =)

I love this one.  One of the new phrases we have taught Natalie when we are joking around is, "I'm gonna bust you up!" We wave our fist around and act like we are going to take her out. She thinks this is hilarious, and always says whilst giggling,  'gin' wanting us to do it again.  Natalie's version sounds more like, "I bus you up!"  This picture capture Mimi saying it to her and NJ laughing hysterically. Love that smile.

And this one speaks for itself. "I wud you, Ganny."

This is what Natalie does when something is "oh so funny!"

Our time with family was super short but we take what we can get! They will be passing back through next week so hopefully we will get them for a short bit again. Thanks for stopping by! We love you Mimi, Poppi, and Granny!
