Uncle Eggrey & Grammie

What a week! My mom and younger brother flew out for a visit and to meet our precious little Meli. Meli, being as adorable as she is instantly had Grammie wrapped around her little finger. She was spoiled by always having someone to hold her while she slept the day away (Grammie). My mom had a knack for getting Meli into a deep sleep. I was not even feeding her as often this week. Mom - the boobs thank you! I also think that little one is going through a growing spurt because she has been sleeping all the time.

We had such a fun week with our west coast guests. Colin just ADORED Uncle Eggrey (Gregory) and barely left his side the whole time. Colin showed off his favorite place, the water fountain and we took Gregory to the Marine Corp Museum (who is a former Marine). We also went to the Air and Space Museum, took Grammie to the Outlets, went to the National Zoo, and had a Sip & See party to welcome Meli. This week has been the most active I have been. Both kids did pretty well in the museums. Especially Colin, who worried us with all of his energy being pent up in a museum. A lot of walking, which wore him out. Meli too! Even though she was just pushed or carried. It has been really hot here so that alone would tire one out. All the activity is good for my poor sore legs and stomach but whoa...I was exhausted!

I am so glad they both were able to come out. It had been a year and half since I had seen either of them and that is just way too long. I love being able to take them around the DC area when they are here and just sit and visit.
