Rachel meets Grandma L, Daija, & Jonathan

We had another wave of visitors last week - first, Daija and Jonathan came down from Boston, then Grandma Linton joined us. I wish I had taken more pictures, but I am a little "off my game" in a lot of areas right now! We hope we didn't scare Daija and Jonathan (they are having a baby next month!) Everyone was very helpful and understanding of our chaotic household:).

Jonathan & Daija babysat Savannah one afternoon, and when we returned, she was doing cartwheels like a pro. She loved watching the gymnastic events of the Olympics. She is one determined kid - they had to tell her to rest because her arms started giving out on her.



Hooray for Navy football! Grandma, Ashkii, Trevor and Savannah were there for the first game of the season:



All the midshipmen (students at the academy) in their uniforms - always a sight to behold!


Grandma Linton was SUPER helpful to us, especially with the yard. I should have taken some before and after pics, because it really was an amazing transformation. She is a farm girl at heart and loves to work outdoors. Our neighbor commented to Trevor, "That's great that your Grandma is here helping you guys." To which he replied, "Yeah, she's a professional."

Oh, and despite her claim of not being a "baby person," she was helpful in that area as well. She and Rachel seemed to have an understanding, and she got her to sleep for us several times!


By the last day, Grandma was (finally) worn out!


Thanks for visiting us, Vicki, Daija, and Jonathan!
