::grandma came, and then she left::

Isn't that how visits always go?

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!
