Grandma Comes a Calling

April 20, 2013

Well you may have noticed in the past couple blog posts that in early April we had a guest.  My Mom (Tyler's Mom) and Finlay's grandma Lorna Grant came out to the island for a nine day stay. While we had seen Grandma recently it has mostly been in Ontario where we are lucky to have so many caring people that we get to share our time with and while this is amazing it means we are often pulled in lots of directions. So any chance we get to have family here is always amazing because we get spend our time visiting just with them. Finaly and Grandma have spent a lot of time on skype together in the past year and so when Finlay woke up from his nap to find Grandma in the living room cuddling with Seamus he was so excited  to see her.  Finlay quickly Re-named her "namma"  and gave her a tour around the house.
Over the next 9 days Namma and Finlay spent their days going to the park, playing in the back yard and hunting for E

Namma and Fin at the park.

He like to hold hands.

What a nice shot!  Namma and Fin!

Can't believe Fin and his climbing!

Here is Finlay "reading" to Seamus.  He was reciting this Thomas book while I went to get something.  Seamus was hanging on every word and cooing his delight!

Namma read some bedtime stories to Fin.

Grandma and little Seamus.  He fell asleep so easily in her arms.

Grandma send the kids a picnic table and Finlay is so excited to eat snacks and lunch outside.  The umbrella is a highlight to him and to us (much needed shade).  Thanks so much!

Namma also spent a great deal of time reading to Seamus and Fin.  Finlay was particularly interested in "Peter Rabbit" stories which Namma read in great repetition throughout here stay. It was so amazing to have Finlay's Namma in with us and I was so happy to get to spend so much time with my Mom.  She played so much with Fin and cuddled so much with Seamus and even gave Lyndze and I not just one, but TWO date nights.  It was so nice to get to see her and it is so nice to hear Fin talk about Namma with a big smile. We can't wait to have her back with us again!
Thanks Namma!
