My Mom came to stay for a week. We indulged in Cafe Rio almost daily, Jeff was getting disgusted at how much we loved it, but it was great! Nixon now says its one of his favorite places, and his face lights up when we say Cafe Rio, probably because he knows Grandma will share her pop with him.
My Mother had a girls weekend with her sisters, they had a blast. To start out their fun I refereed a massage place where I got my massage from Jeff from Valentines day. I absolutely loved it, and came away from their feeling quite relaxed and pampered, but boy oh boy was this a different experience! I felt like I was being beaten, while my Aunts were having quite the experience as one of the massage therapists climbed on top of one of my aunts and started digging her elbows into her back! I felt horrible that I had said we should go there, wow, I will never refer a massage place ever again! I was completely embarrassed and felt horrible that they all just endured this experience, and that it was all my fault. ohhhh boy. It was bad. Really bad. They chalked it up to being quite the experience, but I am still not glad I helped them get there..... :(
Anyways, Nixon loved having his Grandma here. Nixon and my Mom have a very special bond. Nixon just absolutely loves her, and is attached at the hip with her every moment when she is around. It could be the long summers we have spent with her every year... no matter it was, I just hope it never changes. I love that he just loves my Mom, I know that she is so special, and I am glad that he sees it too.
We have been going to the pool more and more as the water has been warming up and the hot tub is now working! It is a big thing keeping me loving it here, because I really miss family, and would love to live close to at least a sibling. Maybe someday, the great thing about Jeff being a teacher is that there are schools everywhere, so hopefully we are not in one place forever.
Here are a few pictures from our past few weeks!
Nixon's eyebrows are just hilarious! He wanted to do emotions with me and take pictures. We have been talking a lot about verbal and non verbal communication.
