A Special Visitor

For those of you regularly following our blog, I apologize for not posting in almost a week. We have had a busy end of the week as my mom brought my 80-year old grandma (my dad's mom) for a visit. It's probably been over a year since she has seen Katelynn, and this was her first time meeting Justin! She lives in Tennessee, and we don't really ever get to make it up there so luckily she came down to visit us.

Justin and his Great-Grandma Carney
My kids are lucky enough to have three Great-Grandmas still living, but all of them live out of state and rarely get to see the kids. This was the first "great" grandparent that has gotten to meet Justin!

I probably took 40 pictures of both kids with my grandma, and this is the best picture I got. I couldn't get all three of them to cooperative at the same time. We really should have tried taking these before Grandma's last day here as both kids were crabby by picture time but at least we got one!I know my mom is going to cringe when she sees that I have posted pictures of her on here, but she hardly ever gets pictures with my kids. Katelynn adores my mom. She wants nothing to do with me or Jonathan while my mom is here. It's a nice break for me as I am not even allowed to do anything for Katelynn without her crying about her Grandma being the one helping, but I do admit sometimes it breaks my heart. Today is a great example- Grandma was gone as of this morning and I asked Katelynn if she wanted to play with me, and she said, "I want to play with my Grandma." I told her Grandma had to go home because Grandpa and Uncle Jeremy missed her so she said, "I want to play by myself outside." Nice.. she would rather play by herself since her grandma isn't here than with her mommy!
And here's a rare moment where my mom got to hold and play with Justin. Katelynn likes to take up all of Grandma's time while she's here, but my mom snuck in some Justin time while Katelynn was sleeping yesterday.

So, don't you all think it would be better if my parents just packed up and moved to Charlotte so that they don't have to live so far away? :)
