This post may be a little late, but better late than never! Nana, Poppa, and Tia came to visit for a week at the beginning of August and we had all kinds of fun. Nana pulled the weeds in the front yard (my least favorite chore) and helped me pull the giganto weeds in the back yard. Amazingly, it was in the 70s during their visit so this yard work was quite tolerable. Nana also finished a special quilt for Brianna (see pictures below). It is just beautiful. The colors match Brianna’s monkey (the first thing we bought when I found out I was pregnant and the basis for the color scheme in her room) and the circles match the dot theme in her room. What you can’t see very well in the pictures is the cat paw trim and all the butterflies stitched into the beige part of the quilt. These butterflies are realistic representations of multiple different types of butterflies — Nana is truly a gifted quilter! Poppa worked on sealing some of the cracks in our floors near the doors (entry points for ants we have discovered) and helped hang all kinds of things for me — the height giraffe my aunt Kathy gave her (see above) and various kitchen items in the pantry. Tia helped watch Brianna while all of us were doing this work. In addition to all that, Jason and I went to dinner a couple of times (had to take advantage of all those babysitters!) and all but Nana, who stayed home with Brianna, went to see The Dark Knight at the Imax theater. Whew! It was a busy week. The following show a few pictures from their visit.
