We're so glad she came, but we were really sad that she had to go back home. Max didn't understand why he had to go actually. I had to explain to him that Grandpa Ken wanted her to come back and keep him company. Well he didn't really feel that was necessary. But I told him he was just going to have to deal with it.
The weather all week was so nice. The temperature was cool but not cold, and the sun shone the whole time. We were very lucky. And we got to enjoy it.
We went on a few drives and had some outdoors fun. I'll post about those separately. Otherwise we hung out with Max, ate good food and played games. It was great.
We did some sewing on fun projects too.
I don't love this picture, so just focus on the apron, ok?
I always love when Kathy comes and helps me sew. I learn a little more every time.
We lucked out with an early christmas present:
Our horrible loud lame vacuum decided to kick the bucket right when Kathy showed up. So she got us a new one. It's so wonderful. It's so nice to use. I love it! And so does my son. He's been walking around with it quite a bit.
We introduced Grandma to the deliciousness of the Seven Stars Bakery, which is just down the street from our house. We made a couple of visits there. It's absolutely delicious.
Here's Max looking on as the goodies are split up.
The brownies are incredible.
Max agrees.
The day she left we tried to take a few fun pictures of each other. The ones of Max and I didn't work out so hot:
He's made of jello.
But the ones of Max and Grandma turned out adorable.
Because they're both so adorable.
We had such a wonderful time with Kathy here. We're so happy she came. It was pretty lonely the day after she left, but Max and I will get used to it.
She's just got to come back soon!

Kathy is so beautiful in that first shot. It made me cry. The shots are great, and it looks like a darn happy fam. Glad you're back in the saddle, baby face.
Dad says, he remembers that feeling when the grandparents leave - like you're just on your own again. I remember it, too.
Cute apron! New vacuums are the best. We've had ours for a little over a year now and I still love it. Your pictures are amazing especially the grandma + Max ones, you will have to frame those.
1. love the fabrics on the apron.
2. Finally the ties! Hurray! Two days I actually bought some corduoroy for Eliot's costume and made a left over tie TOO. I made a faux knot. I will have to send you a picture.
3. I LOVE seven stars. Mmmm. You should send me some of their pastries, or cookies, or even paninis. Yum.
Those are great shots with Max and his Grandma. Those will be special pictures for the rest of his life. I see the sewing stuff, and it really makes me wish I could have picked up sewing better than I did. I love the quilts, decorations, aprons, and all the other stuff she has made for you. And it was very sweet she got you a new vacuum. We all need a little help now and then!:-)
Looking at those pictures make me really homesick for you all. Especially Max's hugs. He is so sweet. thanks again for the fun visit. You really did do a great job on the apron.
NO WAY! I have that same pattern for that apron and your mom came with me and helped pick out the fabric to make it......now if we can just get it sewn together eh?
what great pictures, can you come take pictures when my grandbabies visit me? Come and take pictuers of our old village and house too- that would be fun.
