GiGi & Poppy

A Southern wind found its way North this morning. Jon's parents, who recently moved to South Carolina, spent the day visiting with their grandchildren and "children." A visit like this was truly over-due. Landon finally met his paternal grandparents and Shawn spent quality time with his GiGi and Poppy. Shawn spent pretty much the whole day by Poppy's side. Our little bookworm wanted him to read just about every book in his extensive library. After reading each book Shawn had his grandfather get up to put them away properly. Poor Poppy is going to need knee replacements after Shawn was through with him ;-) GiGi seemed to enjoy her day entertaining my "I need to be held every second of the day" baby. She even got him to take a little snooze this afternoon (snoozes are hard to come by with this kid!) Landon really enjoyed all the attention and commotion watching Shawn run around and play and his grandparents making silly faces at him.

It was really a wonderful day and we are so glad that we could all get together!


***side note: In our family their are so many different terms for the kid's grandmothers and grandfathers. We already have a Peeps, Pappy, Pap, and Grandpa. We decided on Poppy for Jim because when Jon and I were dating I would torment Jim by calling him "Poppy." And he would always respond by saying "I'm going to Pop you a shot." On me and Jon's wedding day when I called him Jim he said "Its Poppy to you." We found this term fitting, as it is something different and holds a significance in our family.
