| Yes, John does appear ready to sprint out of the photo. In fact, that is exactly what he did, a split-second later. |
Thursday, we drove over to Grand Blanc to visit Grandma and Aunt Sue. Jeremy was working but the kids were on Spring Break, and with my research paper finally submitted, I was able to actually take my maternity leave time this week with the kids. It was a nice day - starting to warm up a bit - so the kids spent a long time outside helping Sue clean up the flower beds for spring planting.
During the quiet, Helen (age 93) and Helen (age 2 months) spent some quality time together. They had some friendly competition to see who was sleepier. Although in all honesty, I think I won. At one point, I laid baby Helen on the floor on a blanket, and napped in a chair, right next to her. Apparently she fussed (cried?) enough that Grandma got upset and called Sue inside to attend to her. (Sue carries a baby monitor so Grandma can call if she needs anything; in this case it was actually used for the baby. :) Sue obligingly changed the baby's diaper and walked her around, and I slept on through like a champion. So much for that mother's sixth sense that would always wake me even before the baby got to a full fuss. (Unless maybe Grandma jumped the gun and called for help unnecessarily early. Since I was asleep, I will never know.)
Some of the pictures (the last three, for this post) are from "localhost", which doesn't work from anyone else's computer.
