• Week Before Last..

  The week before last, my mom and 2 brothers, who all live in MO now, came to visit.  Kevin and Bryan only stayed for 4 days while my mom stayed for 2 weeks.  We just took her to the airport this past Tues.

  We enjoyed lots of visiting while they were here..

  

  

  

  

   (Austin and Uncle Kevin had a little "bromance" going.. he was smitten with his uncle.  That is my G-mother, Austin's great-grandmother (Mammaw Lee) Inez Lee who will be 92 this coming December.  Doesn't she look good?)

  

  Ronda came to visit one day, and so did Angela Cutter, but I didn't get a pic of her..

  A "picnic" of In'n'Out Burgers on the patio..

  

  

  

  Uncle Kev teaching him the golf swing..

  

  

  Playing with Uncle Bryan outside.. he loved both his uncles.. this was soooo fun for me to watch..

  

  

  Chillin' after dinner..

  

  ..and a reallllly HUGE spider web, the perfect circular kind, with a BIG spider in the middle.  ICK!

  

  Lots of Austin playing with the uncles..

  ..playing "what's this color" with Uncle B.

  

  

  ..having fun with Uncle Kev..

  

  

  And the four of us went to a Giants game in S.F. while Mom stayed home with Austin.  That was the longest I've ever left my baby in his whole almost 3 years.  I felt like I was missing a limb for the first couple of hours.  And of course everything reminded me of him!  He loves trains and as luck would have it, about four or more trains came through Jack London Square while we were waiting to board the Ferry to the game from Oakland.  He loves Sirens/Emergency Vehicles and again, the one time he isn't with us, it happens to be "Law Enforcement" night at the game.. so there were about 20 motorcycle cops on the field before the game, who ran their sirens while they drove off the field.. etc.  I made it though, gotta cut the strings sometime right?  It was a night game and it was cold, and we got home late.. and he had a great time with my Mom so it all worked out great!  We had a great time!  And the Giants WON, and someone hit a homerun out into the water in McCovey Cove! What else could we ask for?

  The Ferry:

  

  

  

  Our seats near the foul pole down the 3rd base line..  This was actually a really neat perspective of the game.  I liked sitting there.

  

  I want to go down the slides inside the Coke bottle sometime.. ha!  And I love the glove sculpture.

  

  

  

  

  The section behind Bryan to the left of our seats was the bleachers.. we saw a couple of rowdy fights break out over there.. hmm.. on Law Enforcement night?  Probably not the best night to pick fights in the stands.. they were promptly ejected from the park.

  After Kevin and Bryan left, Austin showed Mom how he can ride his bike..

  

  ..holding his feet up so the kitty can't get them..

  

  

  ..decided to walk it home..

  

  hmm.. used to look like this (9 mo. old)

  

  

  and now looks like this (2 mo. shy of 3 yrs old!)  Same helmet.. way bigger head. Just going by TOOOO fast!!

  

  Then, my mom went to my grandma's to stay for a week, and we went to Santa Rosa to visit the other side of our family.. pics of that next time.  When we got home, we picked up my mom for a night, and then took her back to the airport.  Austin REALLLLY wanted to ride the plane with her.  He kept saying, "Austin need to go on a airpane, Austin need-a go wit Gwanny."  He is used to going when we go to the airport, not dropping people off so this time was a first for him.  He's gone when we take someone before, but probably doesn't remember it, he was really small.  But he does remember going on the airplanes to visit Granny & Grandpa.  He kept looking for my dad in the airport, too.  He couldn't figure out why we were sending someone away, when usually we are picking someone up or going on the plane ourselves.  Anyway, here's Granny leaving us..

  maybe he can go with her this way?

  

  

  ..time to get in the truck..

  

  

  ..helping her tow her suitcase into the airport..

  

  

  Thanks for coming to visit us everyone! I hope you come back soon!
