The Washburns came for a visit last week. It was their first chance to meet Jack in person and I think he won them over. We took several day trips around Lancaster and the little man behaved like an angel. First, we drove around Amish country stopping along the way for hand-dipped candles and soft pretzels. Next, we spent a day wandering around downtown - browsing the galleries, visiting Central Market, having lunch, shopping for Jack and his cousin Addison. Again, Jack was a doll - he slept happily in the Bjorn, ate his lunch with the aid of the hooter-hider, and slept some more. Finally, we took another drive through the countryside - stopping at an orchard and hitting a few of Lancaster's covered bridges. Perhaps the best was when Dan and I left Jack with Trey and Marian and went out on our first solo date in 7 weeks. It was great for Jack to spend some quality time with his grandparents, he's still talking about it! I was especially excited to have a pediatrician in the house to ask the numerous questions that I have, questions like, "Really, how much can I drink while breastfeeding?" and "Is it supposed to look like that?" It was wonderful to see Jack interacting with his grandparents. He was awake and alert more often and had a chance to connect with them in his own way. They will get a chance to do it again in January when they come back for a holiday visit. He can't wait!

It was great to be Jack's granny and get to watch and hold that sweet little boy.
However, that short stay was not nearly enough for me .... I am anxiously awaiting my next opportunity.
Keep reminding him his Mamie loves him.
