Quality Time with Mimi

Monday, August 22, 2011

A week and a half after Nana and Papa left us here in NC, Mimi came for her first visit! (We are hoping that her visits will be a bit more frequent now that we are even farther away.) Her visit was a low key one overall. A little "sightseeing" and a whole lot of Jonah and Mimi time!

Jonah quickly got used to Mimi being around and harassed her to play with him every waking moment (he literally woke her up every morning to play). In his defense, Mimi didn't really need much coercing. The weather was really nice while she was here so we spent a lot of time outside playing with chalk, or "hawk" as Jonah calls it.




Andrew made a house for Jonah out of a big cardboard box. We thought it was a good idea for Jonah to spruce the place up, inside and out.




Blowing bubbles is a major pastime for us these days as well. Mimi was enlisted to blow bubbles and was also commanded to sit and watch as "baby" (how Jonah refers to himself) blew some.




In the end, the two of them didn't care if the weather was good or bad, as long as they were together! (Here they are watching a thunder storm out Mimi's window. Precious moment.)

So glad Mimi had a "Jonah fix". Thankfully she got a chance to see where you are and now can visualize when she talks to you.

Loved every minute of it! Watching the plane fares for a return visit. :)
