Visiting Mimi (Grammy)

My mom's birthday was March 5th and for a special treat, Natalie and I flew down over the weekend to see her. Matt stayed home and worked on really fun things like tax preparation. Also, we had to fly back on Monday morning & he was not able to take off. I was a bit nervous being pregnant (not able to hold her as much) and having to carry the carseat, the suitcase, Natalie and her diaper bag by myself. I managed pretty well - I learned that in a pinch, I can put her on the suitcase and use it like a stroller. Once I was able to check in the bag and car seat, everything went smoothly.

We had a great time visiting my mom. We got to visit alot with her and Uncle Aaron and Aunt Ginger. Unfortunately, I didn't pull out the camera until the very end as we were heading into the airport, so this is the only picture we took. Pitiful... next time I will have to make sure and get more. Regardless, it was lots and fun and I had delicious boiled shrimp and wedding cake snowcones both days.

p.s. We are trying to get Natalie to call my mom Grammy so that we could distinguish between her and Fran. For whatever reason, Natalie started calling her Mimi so that's what has stuck so far. The unfortunate part is that Ginger's (my SIL) mother is "Mimi" so when her and Aaron have kids it could get tricky. We're still working on "Grammy".
