Granny's visit

We had lots of fun having Granny here to visit for two weeks. Teresa was so sad when she left! Having two kids is such a breeze when you have a live in helper ;). Luckily we will only be on our own for a few more days, and then Gigi is coming to visit! We are so lucky to have such willing Grandma's to come help us.

Sorry this post has so many pictures, but we stayed pretty busy while Granny was here. We went to Romp n' Stomp on Tuesdays - it's a little play thing they do on base, just a big gym filled with all sorts of awesome toys and things to climb on and ride on. We hadn't gone at all the last two months I was pregnant, so T was really excited to go back.

She loves these little cars. She used to only be able to push herself backwards in them, but as of our last visit she can finally go forwards as well!





She usually splits her time between the cars and pushing around the little shopping carts, and filling them with random stuff.











We also went for plenty of walks with Granny. And took lots of trips to the park. Again, those two things had kind of fallen by the wayside with being 8/9 months pregnant, and all the cold weather, so Teresa was thrilled to get to start spending so much time outside again.

Nora hung out in the shade while Teresa got out some of her seemingly endless energy on the playground.





We also took a trip to Annapolis. Marc was still recovering from his eye surgery, so he ended up not being able to go with us. Turns out it is waaaaay easier to drive to Annapolis than to Baltimore or D.C. It's a pretty cool city, did you know it was founded in 1649, and used to be the capital of the U.S.? Well, you do now. Teresa loved seeing the boats and the ducks. Nora expressed no interest in either.



Of course, we did lots of shopping, too.



I really wish T would let me put more hats on her.

Thanks for coming, Granny, we had so much fun with you here, and are so grateful for all the yummy meals and all the cleaning, and most of all the getting up with Tressa you did!

Aaaaaannnd...just a few more pictures, in case you haven't had enough yet ;)

Romp n' Stomp sounds super fun! What a cool play place/time! I love how T is distracted in pretty much all those pics... like there was just way too much stuff with which to occupy her attention. Yeah, it's funny how suddenly she just doesn't have the time for photos anymore! Good thing she's still super cute just caught in the moment :D I really love the Annapolis picture, that looks just so enjoyable. I'm glad y'all had fun with Granny! And now Gigi gets to come... Luckies!

Nuala exclaimed, about these pics, "LOOK at her! Her is so cute! Look at her curly hair!" and liked narrating as we went along: "They went to the ocean..and to the store..."

Hello Milligans! I have looked in on you from time to time and was glad to see that you are all doing well and happy. TWO Girls, Marc has no chance at all with three girls in the house, his heart is wrapped up bigtime. We still think of you and we at the Branch miss you. Your girls are just absolute dolls and as busy as you can be, it is good to see you enjoying the area and them. We use to be stationed-twice-at Patuxent River, Md. Take care. The Tindalls with FL Sunshine all over the place.
