Stopping Over

Guess who came to visit this weekend? Grandpa! Now Little Bird has met all the grandparents. He was fortunate to be able to stop over for a day after being in Washington DC for work. It was a quick visit but Little Bird got a lot of lovin' in. She liked his wobble wobble sounds and bouncing on his knee.

Not only that but we put him to work too. (you can't come visit without helping with a project) During nap times he and Caleb created a frame for the elliptical rail cover (photo to come later) and they figured out a way to use weather stripping to try to get a better seal in the chimney. This is because we have had a downdraft that makes is smell like a campfire in our house periodically. It was a little bigger project than anticipated, including removing the damper. But it seems to be working well so far. Yeah!

Grandpa has worked with people in China for many years and they sent Little Bird some gold jewelery for luck and good fortune. So we got her all decked out for a photo shoot. It is amazingly difficult to put rings and bracelets on those chubby little hands.

Grandma was a little jealous that she didn't get to come too. But we try to make up for it with picutres and skype. She sent along a little taggy dog for Little Bird. It is so soft and fun and great for tummy time. Thank you.

We are so glad for the visit and hope to have another one soon.
