Visiting (Great) Grandma

May 6, 2015 by Aliesha

Last weekend we took a little trip to Richmond, followed by a trip to Northern VA (hello, IKEA!) and to see Tad’s maternal grandmother, as well as his aunt, uncle, and cousin.

When we walked up the steps and Grandma saw Tad holding Jude, she started crying. She hadn’t seen him since before he was married, so to see him with a wife and three kids must have been a sight!

I tried my best to get photos of the kids with Grandma! Here are some moments from our evening.

Jude is our little ham!

Oh, and if I look sick in these pictures, it’s because I was/am. Bad cold, but I think I’m over the hump!

Angela, Aunt Kim, and me.

We are thankful we got to spend even that brief time with Tad’s extended family! Hope to be back again before too much longer!

A couple of weeks ago, Vera and Cordelia got to go on a special trip to Pops and MiMi’s house all by themselves! This was the first time they have stayed with Pops and MiMi for four nights in a row! They weren’t homesick at ALL and they had an absolute blast the entire time!

I heard many stories about swimming at an indoor pool, visiting a pet store, going shoe shopping, baking cookies, playing with play dough, reading book after book, painting with watercolors, making collages, getting ice cream, snuggling, and so many more fun activities! It was a blessing to know they were having such a wonderful time all week.

At the end of the week, Tad, Jude, and I went up to join them for the weekend. We had fun playing at the park and having a picnic, as well as enjoying delicious food and lots of good talks.

Here are some pictures from the weekend while we were there!
