A visit from Gran and Grandad
We finally managed to convince my Mum and Dad to come and visit us in the middle of Summer (coming to see Katelyn was a pretty good excuse). We didn't do very much except ensure that Izzy and Katelyn got to know there grandparents better.
We did manage to get a babysitter for one night and went out and enjoyed a Reds game, as usual the Reds lost...
Izzy managed to get Gran to read to her, constantly, so much so, that Izzy has memorized many of the books she had Gran read to her (I'm sure Gran has a few memorized too!)
Grandad enjoying some time holding Baby Katelyn.
Izzy and Gran enjoying a moment out in the Garden.
I'm sure Izzy sometimes thinks that grandparents are just people she sees on the computer (via Skype) so it's great our girls get to actually spend real time with them. In these brief visits we are reminded of the special relationship between grandparents and grandchildren and wish that Izzy and Katelyn had more opportunities to create more of these special memories.

I feel the same way about my children and my Mum. Thankfully she recently retired so I hope she will be able to come out here a little more often. The relationship between Grandparents and Grandchildren is so special that despite the distance, Grandma Shirley is still a very treasured person around here. Doesn't stop me being a little jealous of Rachel and the fact that Max sees Mum every day!
