My mom and Grandpa stopped for a quick visit on their way from Florida to New York. I was a short, but sweet visit, one that almost didn't end up happening. Anyway, they made it, a day later than planned, but what is important is that they were able to make the stop. (Thanks for letting them know that the shortest way from S. Carolina to NYis through Pgh, Eric)!

My Grandfather recently made it through his first year without his beloved wife by his side and it was so good to be able to hug him! I am so thankful we were able to have this visit!

Jacob had fun playing with his Great Grandpa Len. Jacob thought Grandpa acting like a bee was hilarious and pulling the zipper on his coat up and down was the most fascinating thing...oohhhh to be an (almost) 2 year old! What joy!





After supper, Grandpa rocked Jacob for a bit and read him a few pages in a book. Unfortunately, it had been a long day for Jacob and he was tired and started getting a little cranky, so this moment didn't last very long. 



 Then this past weekend Nana Ann was back with us for a long weekend!! She came in on Thursday night so that Aaron and I could go to the Fleetwood Mac concert, which was absolutely amazing! I love Stevie Nicks, she is beautiful!
My mom and I took Jacob to his follow-up ENT appt. on Friday (his tubes are intact and the fluid has finally cleared up. We have been waiting for this for over 2 months now. He had a hearing test too while we were there and everything checked out just fine).  Then Jacob and Nana got to spend the whole day together and had what my mom calls "Friday Fun Night". As a kid this used to consist of a movie or game and popcorn and ice cream soda's. Jacob loves popcorn, but now I think he may love ice cream soda's more. LOL!

Saturday was a gorgeous, sunny,  70 degree day so we all got on our bikes (Jacob has a Co-Pilot seat on the back on my bike) and we went for about a 4 hour ride around the city. We have a really nice bike path along the rivers here and it's a nice way to get a tour of the city. We even got to go on a few routes that I've never been on before. We had an awesome lunch at a new seafood restaurant that I've been wanting to try and then had ice cream at our favorite old fashioned ice cream place in the Strip District. Later that afternoon we went to my niece, Riley's birthday party. Needless to say, it was an action packed day and we were all exhausted by the time we got home! All in all, we had a wonderful visit with Nana Ann and can't wait to see her again soon!

 Finally, to wrap up, I will leave you with my favorite picture of the week....

Peace, Love and Family!
