Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia’s House, March 2011
Please forgive the time it took to make the next few entries… lots of video to look through and edit, and not a whole lot of time to do so thanks to my projects. Without further ado, let’s get goin!
On March 2nd, we had a video conference with Grandma Sue! See this image larger.
A brief hug, and nobody got hurt, even better! Speaking of which, I’ll probably never forget that boo boo on Ian’s hand, as it stopped him from washing that hand for a number of days. (We’d wash it for him sometimes, though.) See this image larger.
On March 4th we headed for Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia’s house, but didn’t make it there… Nina got sick in the car, from what we thought might be a reaction to some antibiotics that she was on at the time. What we didn’t know was that she was carrying around a stomach bug that ended up hitting Ian and I (and Grandma Marcia, sorry!) later on in the week. Instead, oblivious, we woke up in the morning, saw that Nina was fine, and got back on the road. Thus, we ended up in Southgate on the 5th, when this and most of the other pictures here were taken. See this image larger.
Nina reads about princesses while the boys play. See this image larger.
Nina got to try these graham cracker goldfish, and she liked them quite a bit! See this image larger.
They say she’s the Girl of the Remote! (You can even see the light is lit on the remote!) See this image larger.
Oh, sorry, sorry! PRINCESS of the Remote! Sheesh! See this image larger.
Grandma Marcia treated Mommy to a dance concert, the kind of day she sorely needed — while Grampa Dave and I watched the kids! Here Grampa tries to out-race Nina’s page-turning antics! See this image larger.
This looks like a testimonial video to me – “Have you read ‘Good Night, Baby Mickey?’ Well I have, and I’m here to tell you it changed my life.” See this image larger.
While Nina checks out what else is on the table, Ian ponders what to do next in the background. I think he’s thinking about something that will garner everybody’s attention! 😉 See this image larger.
Here Ian plays with a moonbase we all helped him build, including some custom-built parts by Grampa Dave! See this image larger.
Grandma Marcia reads Nina one of her favorite books! See this image larger.
Nina going for a slow spin on the rotating ottoman! See this image larger.

We went home on the 6th after a brief visit to Ikea. (Remind me to show you these awesome trays that we bought!!) We had a great time, thanks guys, and sorry again about the stomach bug!
