Grandma Mary Ann visited the family for a long weekend. She got to spend some quality time visiting with Patrick, Patti and Will and she got to meet Maggie and Stella for the first time. It was great for us to have another set of hands in the house and Grandma got to hold the girls for as long as she wanted (which was a lot).
Here's Grandma with Maggie...
And Stella...
Here's the entire family in the minivan - thank goodness Grandma is skinny or things would have been interesting. We made the voyage down to the tidal basin to see the cherry blossoms.
Mary Ann, Patrick and Will paid a visit to the National Trolley Museum and Will LOVED it. Of course, he thought they were trains but that's besides the point. It is a cool little museum with a fantastic moving model, a number of old trolleys to be refurbished, and a 20-minute trolley ride through the woods. Very fun.
In addition to holding the girls a lot, Grandma Mary Ann played trains every day with Will. Now that Will is calling Maggie "Moo moo", he has a name for all of us, but he doesn't have a name yet for Grandma Mary Ann. He was quick to point her out and he remembered her from his birthday party but he refused to say her name or any gibberish variation of it the entire weekend. The closest we got was "hmmm..." We'll work on that leading up to his 3rd birthday.
