At the end of September, beginning of October, Jeff's mom, Deacon's Grandma Sherry, came to visit. Most of Jeff's family lives up in IL (where he's originally from) so Grandpa Duane & Grandma Sherry don't get to see Deacon near as much as they'd like to. While Grandpa Duane had to stay back and work, Grandma Sherry booked a flight and came to visit for about a week.
(I think she secretly enjoyed having Deacon all to herself. :)
I went to a scrapbook retreat in Ocean Isle Beach Sep 30-Oct 3, and Sherry arrived in Wilmington on Sep 29, staying through Oct 6. I gave Jeff a hard time about planning when she would come, saying he was a "chicken" about being with Deacon by himself for 3 days but truthfully, it was the perfect time for her to come (and I knew Jeff would be just fine with Deacon by himself :). I was in OIB and Jeff began a new job of sorts that Monday I was gone (working from home all the time now) so Jeff's mom was able to take care of Deacon for us (saving money on childcare is always a good thing :), which gave her some really good quality time with him.
I know she enjoyed every minute!
I know she enjoyed every minute!
They took walks and bike rides together (on our new bikes!), played on the floor with Deacon's toys, sat outside and blew bubbles, enjoying the beautiful weather we had while she was here. We had lots of sunshine and comfy temperatures while she was here and I know she was so thankful to be able to get out and enjoy it with Deacon.
She always asks us if there's anything we'd like her to make when she's visiting (or we're visiting them) so we got to munch on some of her famous apple crisp, beef stew and yummy banana bread. We enjoyed having her just as much as Deacon did! :) Love you, Grandma Sherry!
