The Joy of Grandparents

It's sad to say, but we took Grandma & Grandpa to the airport today. We really had a great visit! Blake already misses them dearly. Today has got to be the first time we've seen Blake throw a full scale fit. She has been fussing most of the day with watchful eyes...trying to get her mean parents to pay attention to her every second she can. And, when she was put in her jumper to change the scenery, she just started throwing herself around...complete with her little head hanging over the side of the jumper. She's not even acting like she is teething; she just misses having someone to cater to her every wimper...ah, the joys! I'm sure she'll be back to normal in a day or so. We've been warned about the wrath of grandparents, BUT we wouldn't trade the visit for the world. We really did have a nice time, and obviously, so did Blake. While she was here, Grandma took Blake for her first swim at the hotel that they were staying at. Here's Blake playing on the bed waiting for Grandma to get ready.

Here's an early reaction to this new activity.And, here's after learning to splash.The pool railing was quite a hit.

Blake hanging out pool-side after drying off a little bit.

And, finally, a dry kiddo who just finished her first swim.It really was nice to have some help with Blake and get the chance to visit. We can't wait to get to visit with Grandma & Grandpa again! Hope everyone is having as great a start to their week!!!

Glad you guys had a fun visit. We head to Portland the last week of July for 3 weeks, and then Hannah is coming back with me! We went to a fun BBQ at a friend's house then watched the $50,000 worth of fireworks their neighbor pay to have professionally done! It was amazing, and Beckett slept through the whole thing! Anyway, hope you guys are great and you're getting used to being at home more. Come on down if you get bored! Miss you guys and can't wait to visit soon! Love, Jess
