Whirlwind Weekend

I left on Thursday headed to see my baby girl.



Due to recent storm, she and hubby are still not able to live in their apartment. Workers have removed all of the carpet and most of the sheet rock from the walls and ceilings. They were told this would take a week. Right!!! However, this weekend we got to stay in the model apartment- you know they always have one fixed up really nice to show prospective tenants. My son-in-law begged for anything for us to stay in this weekend and they put us in the model apartment. Now I am not understanding why they are not letting my babies stay there until their apartment is repaired??!!



Anyway...I had a nice visit with the kids. I went with baby girl to school on Friday and got to see where she spends her time and how she gets there.



Baby girl drives to the bus stop and catches the bus to her school. She had a test that morning so I took a book to read while she took her test. After that she had some errands to run around the school area. Then we took the rail to the bus stop to head back to the apartment.





I enjoyed meeting her friends and taking the actual route that she takes when she goes in to school - including the bus and rail. We saw some interesting characters on the way and at one point I was nearly run over by a blind man. Baby girl had to check on something at the bus station and we were standing in line when all of a sudden someone bumped into me. For a split second I thought it was someone that knew me and I was thinking what a coincidence. Then I turned and saw the white stick. He thought he was following his people and they had turned to go through a door and left him so I headed him in the right direction.

We got back to the apartment and decided we needed a nap. It was a long morning and we had stayed up a little too late talking the night before. After a brief 3 hour nap (LOL) we got ready to go to her in-laws for supper. Mother-in-law had made stuffed bell peppers and they were really good!!!

On Saturday morning we went to meet firstborn and son-in-law-1. They were going to a football game and I was bringing the grandbabies home with me. Baby girl, son-in-law, grandbabies and I went to eat at mine and grandson's all time favorite - Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers and then did a little bit of shopping before heading home. It was hard to leave baby girl and son-in-law because of their living arrangements. Luckily they do have a place to stay. If it weren't for the in-laws, I don't know what they would do. I don't know what other people in the area are doing who don't have somewhere to go.

We got some cute pictures of the grandbabies on Sunday before they left.




Brother must have told something really funny!!!





The rocking chair was mine when I was a little girl. Little miss climber didn't want to sit in the rocking chair - she prefers to stand!! She climbs on everything.



I thought this was sweet of the grandbabies!!



Big brother is so good with baby sister. Last weekend baby sister fell at the sitters when she and the sitter's 19 month old daughter were pushing a chair and big brother said he was going to go over there and knock her down. So protective!!
