Nonnie makes an appearance
Mary Poppins Nonnie, my mom, flew in from San Diego last night. Here highly anticipated arrival has been quite the topic of conversation around our house lately.
BC: Is it my birthday yet? Is Nonnie coming? Why is she coming? Is she coming for my birthday? Why? When is Nonnie coming? and on and on and on…
eClaire also was quite excited to see her approach our van at the airport. When it dawned on the otherwise mute child of mine that Nonnie was here, she went absolutely crazy!
eClaire: (Hands covering her ears screaming) NONNIE. NONNIE. NONNIE.
The whole way home. Uh, can we say excited??
A few days ago my dad was talking to the eClaire on the phone. He loves to get a reaction, good or otherwise. So he asked eClaire:
Grandpa: eClaire, Who do you love more? Grandpa or Nonnie?
eClaire: NONNIE!
Grandpa: OK, let’s try this again, Who do you love more? nonnie or GRANDPA!
eClaire: NONNIE!
I guess she made it clear who her favorite is.
Sorry Dad. It ain’t you.

My parents (Papa and Nona) have the same “who do you love most” conversations with my children. The kids love to tease so they always choose the grandparent who is in the other room!
Is there anything better than seeing your parents love on your children?! Have a great visit!

We use to do that with our uncle, when he’d visit! I agree, nothing is better than seeing my parents in love with my kids, and vice versa!

The only game I remember playing with Uncle J is trying to figure out who actually burnt down the church as a kid.
