Week of Fun

Well Chan and Lilly headed back home today. This last week was lots of work and lots of fun. Lilly is so cute and I actually got her to laugh out loud during the week. You could just see her changing each day while she was here, it was amazing. Being a grand parent is so different than being a parent, it's like you see everything for the first time with them. You still worry about them, but you play with them and then they go home. This last week though was a wonderful time for everyone. We visited the Easter Bunny, went shopping, went up to my office, had family pictures made and had wonderful days at home playing. Lilly doesn't take many naps during the day so about 5 or 6 she has a melt down and just screams for about and hour until she gives it up and goes to sleep, now this sounds bad but she gets up about 8 takes a bath and goes to bed for the night. Yes the night then she wakes up about 7 to eat. WHAT A BABY! Of course we all wanted to help her when she cries and I think in turn made Chan very nervous and stressed. Chan is a really good mom and takes excellent care of Lilly. She told me I did such a good job with her till that's why and how she knew how to be a good mom to Lilly. I couldn't ask for more.

Louie acted like a moma dog with Lilly and had to know where she was all the time. If she was crying he had to check on her. Now Lila was like who cares, but she was interested in her a little. Their last day here we were all sitting in the living and Andrea noticed the gate was open on the front porch. We let the dogs out there on nice days and leave the front door open so they can go in and out. And yep they were gone. Lucky for us they had only gone next door. I would hate to think of them out there because Beagles have a habit of following their nose.

If was hard to see Chan and Lilly leave but I know they are back with Thomas and happy where they are. Chan loves her job, her husband, her dog Millie and the cats Doodle and Pepper and of course Ms. Lilly.

Andrea is still here so the house isn't so quiet yet. But tomorrow she leaves for college and I will have to get use to the silence again. It's hard to let them go but it's a lot of fun when they are here.....so until next time......I'll be waiting.
