Jacob (3 1/2 yrs) brought a collection of his "guys" to play with and then proceeded to get out a lot of his toys we have here for him. He had to make sure "papa" showed everyone his scar, just in case anyone didn't know he'd had surgery. He thought it was a pretty good looking scar :-) He was an active boy and gave us lots of chuckles during the afternoon as his imagination worked for all of us to see! Grandma and Jacob played lots of games and Jacob kept grandma on her toes all afternoon.
Henry (3 months) was a cutie pie, as always. He became the pass around pack for most of the afternoon. At one point between feedings he fell asleep in grandpa's arms while I rocked him in the chair. I'm convinced the way he was laying that he could hear grandpa's new "ticker" and found it soothing and relaxing. He slept for a good 1/2 hour or so -- it was a special time for grandpa.
Grandma baked chocolate chip cookies for everyone and set up milks all around for us -- yum, yum!
GG (great grandma) and great grandpa just marvel at Jacob and Henry and just have a lot of fun with them when they are around. Jacob entertains and Henry charms.
It was good for Deb and I to see Nikki, Jessi, and Luke again, on this side of our adventure. We are all relieved to be back together under nearly normal conditions again. No more big adventures anytime soon, we hope!
Deb and I are both tired from our visit, but we wouldn't have it any other way. It did our hearts good to be back in the company of family again!
We received a cute card and gift from the Medtronic CRDM Core Product Development VP and his staff. We also received dinner last night and tonight from my System Engineering group at Medtronic. So many blessings we have -- it is beyond humbling and very therapeutic!
