Grandson Fun and Some Birthday Celebrations

It’s been a long week but it sure did start out fun. Brian, Lauren, and Liam were here over the weekend. It was a nice visit, although it was an aunt and uncle visit rather than a grandma visit. But that is okay because some visits he has pretty much ignored his Aunt Tiffany, so this time he pretty much ignored me.

Michael didn’t get a lot of sleep Saturday night, as he was up for several hours not feeling well. He’d finally felt better about 5:30am and was able to get back to sleep. When the alarm went off at 6 to get up for church, we decided he needed to rest some more and stayed home from church. Brian, Lauren, and Liam stayed too, so we had a longer visit than usual this time.

Tiffany made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.

And then I remembered I needed pictures for the blog.

They all joked that they were only good for blog content. It was fun for everyone, even Liam.

Liam had his first “horsey” ride on his papa this visit, at Michael’s suggestion.

Liam didn’t the plate of blueberry pancakes I offered him shortly after they arrived. I left it on the table and later he decided he was hungry.

He made quite a number of trips. He’s teething some more and was in a bit of pain at times.

Sean gave him a controller minus the battery pack. He decided he needed some sort of cord for it to work so Michael taped a cord to it for him.

Then he discovered the decorative glass pane and had fun with Sean.

I had the cake for Sean’s birthday celebration at my parents’ home on the coffee table so I wouldn’t forget it. Little guy discovered that it was there and decided to carry it around but dropped it on its side.

I scraped the frosting off the lid and attempted to put it back on the cake.

At my mom and dad’s, we sang Happy Birthday to Lauren, since we didn’t do that last month.

Next up we celebrated my sister Tracie’s birthday. (Sorry about the bad picture, I was too close to her. )

And then we did Sean’s birthday.

Here’s a closeup of the cake and the “creepy” clown head she and my niece put on it.

Liam decided he needed to help Uncle Sean open his gifts.

It was a fun weekend and very good to see my kids (son, daughter-in-love, and grandson).

Then Tuesday I became best friends with the tissue box.

I was very stuffy and my nose is now raw!

Wednesday was a bad day and I decided to just rest. Thankfully Tiffany wasn’t too bad off and picked up my slack. Wednesday night I felt incredibly better, although still stuffy. Thursday was better and I actually felt like doing some stuff.
