Spending the Day with Grandma Ruth

We have been wanting to head south to spend some time with Great Grandma Ruth for awhile now, so today  Shannon (Ryan's sis) and I made the trek with our kids (we were both husbandless today--mine in Wisconsin and hers at work). Here are some pictures from our afternoon.

D was a little bit cranky until he warmed up to Grandma.

Who knew Grandma played the piano?

Grandma won Maddie over right away. Here she's feeding her all the bananas her heart desires.

On our to-do list while visiting: Help Grandma figure out how to navigate her new iPad (Is she cool or what? Does your Grandma have an iPad?...didn't think so). We were able to get her linked up to all of the family blogs. As we showed her how to access all the different posts she said, "Wow! There are so many! You could spend hours reading people's blogs!" Tell me about it, Grandma...


Cheeeeeeeeeeese! Maddie with her namesake.

Isaac loved playing with all of her toys...minus her treadmill, of course. As soon as he saw it he said, "'member those things, mama? I'm not going to touch that or I'll get a big big owie!"



Here Isaac is learning about a Swedish cookie-breaking tradition. If your cookie breaks in three pieces, your wish will come true. Lucky for me, mine did! Ryan should be pulling up to the house any minute... :-)


Thanks so much for letting us come and visit! We're already planning to visit again after Ryan comes home.
