Bienvenidos, Granny!

Granny made it, safe and sound! And we're soooo excited to have her (she cleans up the kitchen nice ;) Here is proof that she is in Uruguay (though, according to our ward, really I could have just photoshopped pictures of me...you know, added a couple of years...I guess we look alike or something...) We took her to our favorite playground and wildlife refuge on Saturday. It was fun! More importantly, it wore all of us out.
Grannies don't mind holding your head up so you're facing the camera when you want to look down.
Surprise, surpise. First stop, blue racecar.

Besos are freely given.

Granny's not in this picture. It's just Bran, in case you were confused. But, she was standing in front of him, the recipient of that gorgeous smile. He was just super pleased with himself for sitting on the rock. Like, REALLY pleased. Then he had to sit on practically every rock bigger than his bum for the rest of the time. Or maybe just the next few minutes. Whichever, it made for some sloooow going...

So, yay!! Granny's here! Till next Tuesday, at which time she and I will fly to TX with B&N to begin Second Summer...ooooh, warm sunshine, here we come!

So sad I won't be in Texas yet. If I had more money maybe I would make it. I love your mom and so does my mom.

Your Mom is the best! I'm glad she could come visit you and the kiddos (that's why she is there right?) I can't believe you are going to TX so soon!!!! Oh how I wish I was there!!!!! Love all the pics!

Mom is the best! Hahaha, she is really good at holding little heads up for pictures! Brigit recognized Granny as Granny in one, but thought her a younger someone in another one. I love Bran's smile, he looks so cooool, you know? I also really like their hats, way cute!

Glad you have your mom there! When you get home(Texas) call me and we can try to get together if your not to busy! My kids would love to play with yours!!!

Yay for Granny! Such cute pictures! Nuala looks especially happy to have her head restrained like that...;)

Shannon said...

Ha! I really thought that was you in the picture. But you have a different haircut...

The kids are so cute!

Hi ..... this is granny....and I am having a lovely time in Uruguay...amazed at the nice sunny fall weather. Fiona and I have been walking/running in the evenings and it is SO pleasant (while Daddy babysits). It is fun to be with Nuala & Bran ... we are enjoying getting to know each other some more. I am sure it'll be fun on the airplane too {going back to Texas}(?) xox Mom xox

Mother, really...daddies don't "babysit" when the children are their own. ;o) Everyone looks great! I laughed at Mom holding Nuala's head...she is really good at making people look at the camera, isn't she? We missed her today...Aine was baffled at why we would go to the Mayborn without Granny. ;o) CAN'T WAIT to see you guys!!! :o)
