Visit from Nan & Grandad

Craig's mum, Dot, and dad, Harry, got here last night on a visit from England. Meeting them at the airport was emotional as they haven't seen Jack since he was 3 months old. We were worried he was going to cry but he didn't. We had been showing him their picture for a few weeks so he knew who they were. By today, he's more than comfortable and playing with them.

They bought him a ton of presents. Craig and I had a bet before they came. I said 12, Craig said 20 and nearest one won. Craig won! I'll post some pix later of some of the cool presents - including a set of English coins they had mounted from the year he was born. Fun stuff too - like swimming floaties, stacking rings and a xylophone. AND lots of clothes. He's currently asleep in his new Beatrix Potter PJs and they got him an official England strip - how cute!

Today was Harry's birthday. We took him for breakfast then on to Wally Mart for some portrait pictures with him, Craig and Jack. Guess how much $ it was for one 13x11, one 8x10, five 4x6, 10 keyring and 24 wallet shots????? $2.88 NOT kidding! We are still shocked about it and half expect the pictures to come back with all heads chopped off and blurry. Will keep you posted.

Tonight we went to Johnny Rockets American Diner, which is their favourite place to eat.

They are here for 4 weeks and already they've had a great time with Jack. They have already taught him to wave "bye bye" - just today - so he'll be a child genius by the time they go home. They teach him songs and nursery rhymes and play stuff - stuff I can't even remember! Today Dot did the "all around the garden, like a teddy bear, one step, two step, tickly under there". It might be an English thing? Anyway, I had better start learning them again!
