Today we bid farewell as Jon's mom and dad headed south to their home near the beach. It was sad to see them go, for this week just did not include near enough time for everyone to spend together (or for the boys to have enough good quality playtime romping around with their GiGi & Poppy.) Hopefully when they return in June we will have more opportunities to do family activities and more photo ops in the nice spring weather.
When GiGi & Poppy came by this morning for a quick goodbye they surprised us by bringing with Jon's Aunt Lori and GiGi's best friend Philo. Shawn produced another "funny" today when our guests entered the house. Philo, who greeted Shawn in her usual cheerful Irish accent, was met at the door by Shawn who insisted that Philo was someone he knew. The minute he saw her he proudly exclaimed "Grandma!" Even when we tried correcting him, Shawn still insisted that this woman was a Grandma. The funniest part about this is he doesn't call any of his close relatives "Grandma." My mom is "MeMe" (pronounced Meem), my grandma is "Nanny", and Jon's mom is "GiGi." Jon's step mom in Idaho is "Grandma Carol" (however, they visit once a year, or every other year... so its not like this 2 year old is used to calling someone Grandma.) The things kids say, huh?!
Speaking of Grandma's... a few photos from GiGi and Poppy's last few days here.

Playing paddle ball. Is GiGi trying to eat the ball?
"This is how you do it, Shawn. Just don't attempt to eat that foam like I did. Yuck!"
My new tool set from GiGi. "Kid safe. Brother approved!"
Goodnight kisses from a very sleep boy.
Checking out my new penguin from GiGi.
Brother seems to be a bit more interesting at the moment.
