Back-tracking - Our California Trip

We had a wonderful two-week trip to California in November, basically enjoying our family!

Our first weekend was to babysit Maddie while Jeremy and Renee took a little trip to celebrate their 4th wedding anniversary. This would be Rich's first visit since seeing Maddie as a newborn and it was September when I last saw her so we weren't sure how she would react to us. She never cried, fussed, or seemed unsure of us. What a love she is! Our weekend was spent simply loving, caring for, and playing with her!



Friday evening the three of us went to Jeff and Caroline's for dinner. Jeff was very proud of his veggie plate with a jicama heart - celebrating family love! :)

Love of a grandchild is so PRECIOUS!  Lauren and Papa

Grandma and Allison

Lauren is taking guitar at school and loving it! Lo, do I remember correctly that it is your favorite class??? At school she uses the school-provided guitar, but to practice at home she gets to play her dad's guitar.

Maddie loved carrying her very cute pink Converse tennies and swinging them by the shoelaces!


On Sunday, Cole came to visit Papa, Maddie and me.


Our youngest and oldest grandchildren - a span of 17+ years! Don't you love how Maddie is just "hanging out" with her foot propped up on Cole's leg.





Jeremy and Renee returned home and we all began a busy week. Work for them, we had visiting my Mom and spending time with Kathy doing a final sort of things at Mom and Dad's house, Maddie's first birthday, Grandparents Day at school with Jeff and the kids and, of course, Thanksgiving! More to come!
