Grammie

Last Wednesday was my first day back to work. Now I'm on a four-day a week schedule which will mean nice long weekends with little Teddy. So far so good...

Teddy is a great flier and actually very patient with the long drives. We had a great time in the Midwest but wish we could have seen more people. Teddy met Auntie Lauri and cousin Lila (who fears that Teddy will steal her toys and books), Auntie and Uncle Ted, Great Granddad, and "Grammie" (my mom - Lila coined the name). And much of Jesse's family and many of our friends. Here's a pic of Mom and her first grandson. The whole nursing home was abuzz about "the grandson" and my mom was so excited to meet and hold Teddy. She had her arm up to smooth his hair before we were even in the room! They both were all smiles.

We ended up doing some work on the house by necessity... a new water heater. And also hooked up our softener so we hopefully won't need another new water heater any time soon. I've been a peeling lizard all winter so am looking forward to some soft water. I think.
