Meemaw/Mimi Visits

Being that Cyrus and I are both transplants to the area we live in, we have very little family around.  The family we do have around is a 2 hour drive away, so we have created our own family of friends that we see and do things with regularly.  On occasion though we find ourselves longing for a family visit.  Last week Sophia had preschool winter break, so it was the perfect time for Meemaw to come out and visit.  And boy did she visit.

In addition to many little presents, new books, stuffed animals and other gifts she showered the girls with, she really spent quality time with them.  She crafted and bathed them, played games and even babysat them for 2 days while we had a parent's time out in Napa.  It was a wonderful week with lots of adventures- Half Moon Bay on Monday to fly kites and eat lunch, play dates with friends, a visit to the Children's Discovery Museum, Disney on Ice, and Sophia's first lemonade stand.  Here are a few pictures of our adventures.

Christmas 2010

What a wonderful Christmas we have had. We spent time with both sides of our family, ate tons of great food and even managed to tear into a few presents! Here are some photos of the highlights:

GRANDparents to the rescue!

A few weeks ago, Meemaw and Peepaw flew out to spend a week with us watching Sophia grow and also enjoying our company. We celebrated Mother’s Day and spent a day in San Francisco as a group and then Sophia took them to the park and Hakone Gardens on the days we were in the office. They had a great time together, playing, singing, exploring and generally doing fun things. It was a great help to the tired parents who enjoyed a much needed date night and also a few days/nights off from the usual routine.
