Meeting Great Grandma Jean aka GiGi


Grandma Jean's visit in Virginia Beach to meet Alexa Elizabeth!








We were so lucky to have Grandma Jean come and visit us after Alexa was born. She was so helpful to us. She helped with Alexa by changing diapers, dressing her, and rocking and singing to her. Having her here allowed me to take a short nap that I wouldn't have been able to take otherwise. She also provided some great advice for nursing and helping with that latch!
Grandma said she wanted to come here to help me not go on a beach vacation....so I put her to work! She organized my refrigerator, cleaned out my linen closet, swept the floors, and washed countless dishes and baby bottles!
She took some long walks in our neighborhood during the prettiest time of year here in Thoroughgood. The Azaleas and Dogwoods were blooming and there were flowers flowers everywhere! She gave us a scare when she took a wrong turn and got lost. Kevin was about to get in the car and drive around to look for her when she came around the corner. I guess this forest that we live in can be confusing!
I cried the day she left and still miss her terribly. We are forever grateful for the help she provided and will treasure that special time with her forever.
