Aunt Erin Visits!


Grady was visited by his wonderful Aunt Erin this week and although she only left yesterday, we miss her terribly already.  Erin lives  in North Carolina now and we've gone much too long since we have seen her so we were especially excited to welcome her to town and introduce Grady to his aunt.  Erin is as wonderful as a sister comes. She cooked every night she was here and made double batches for the freezer including about 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies - any thought of a post baby diet went out the window with those cookies, those things are to die for.   She also just acted like Grady was one of her own kids by rocking him, changing him, and getting him ready for the day.  She helped me navigate the first grocery trip, first trip to a restaurant, first big car ride to the mountains, and many other normal daily activities giving me confidence along the way that I can do it on my own.  We walked together every morning and just had sister talk time and lots of laughs - the best thing on earth.  Grady loves his Aunt Erin so much already!





Grady also got to meet two of his cousins who came for an afternoon visit on Sunday.  They were both so good with him!  I remember when these two were Grady's size.  Brad is now taller than I am!



THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO VISIT AUNT ERIN!  IT MEANT THE WORLD TO US!

  1. So long overdue and a wonderful time to have a sister visit! Amazing how sisterhood reconnects those relationships immediately;-) glad you were able to do so much and that Grady fell in love with Aunt Erin! We need to make sure connecting with family gets scheduled into busy lives! And the stories your boys will tell you when you get back!!!
