JOURNAL Quality Time with Grandma and Grandpaposted on 07/16/2008 So Ben and I went on a vacation from Friday until Tuesday to Mexico. We had a great time, but we certainly missed Meredith! However, it helped knowing that she was having a blast with Grandma. Grandma arrived on Thursday afternoon and is staying through this afternoon, and Grandpa came on Friday and went back to work on Sunday. She sent us e-mail updates every day and even some pictures, and we got to talk once a day. When we got home last night, Meredith was in the yard waiting for us. I started waving and she waved back, and I ran out and gave her a big hug. She was happy to see us, although it took her just a little bit to warm up. She got a little doll from Mexico that she seems to like a lot, that we got for her on our trip. I was sad to have to go to work this morning before she woke up, but Ben and Grandma will have fun I'm sure. Meredith has added some new words to her vocabulary, including "Hot Dog" and "Grandpa" - much to Grandpa's delight! The next night Meredith wanted her "Gam" - so add her word for Grandma to the rapidly growing list of words! |
