E4: Grammy's here!

Grammy Joanne is here! She arrived la st night and both Mae and I got so excited. I've been trying to control my arms more, like Mae can, but they still just mostly flop around, especially when I get excited, so I just let them. She got the message that I was glad to see her anyway.

It had been a rough day before that. Poor Daddy didn't know what to do with us. It's because Sunday had been such a big day and there was so much to think about. I couldn't remember whether or not I'd smiled enough at Elly and Aggie and Mabel and Christina and everyone to thank them for holding me to give Mom and Dad a break. And Mae wanted to be passed around some more and to play with Father again. See, Sunday we had two church dinner to go to; one at the church where Mommy works and one at the church where Daddy works.

Church dinners are fun because we get to meet lots of people and everyone tells us how beautiful we are and everyone wants to hold us and play with us. Mommy know to sometimes take us away from people so we nap, but otherwise we want to be around everyone, which is nice.

But, because so many different people talk to us and tell us things and hold us it sometimes gets hard to remember who told me what and who I remembered to thank, so on Monday I finally got to think about it and I got worried. I tried to tell Daddy to make sure everyone knows we love them and had a good time with them, but I think mostly he was just tired, since Mae had started remembering in the middle of the night and got very worried about what people thought of her. I think she woke up three times last night. That's a lot.

But, in any case, Grammy is here now, since Wendy is still trying to have her baby. She has a big appointment today that Mommy asked we send good thoughts to her. I like having Grammy here because she plays just as well as Mommy and Daddy, but without the distractions because Mommy and Daddy still clean and cook.

She already took us for a nice walk yesterday while Mommy made dinner and showed us off to all the neighbors. And this morning we've been talking about our dreams. She's such fun!
