We don't acknowledge it enough on this blog (or in person), but Fiona and Campbell have been blessed with two phenomenal sets of grandparents -- the four of whom are probably the most faithful (if not the ONLY) readers of this blog!
So, in appreciation, here is a brief peek at some special moments that we've shared with them in 2010.
Nana and Boom visited us for 10 wonderful days in February (wonderful for us, a little frustrating for them since they'd only planned on staying for 7 days, but were snowed
out of the East Coast!). We watched the Super Bowl with them, and celebrated an early Valentine's Day.
Later that month, we celebrated Grandmommy's birthday with a fancy dinner in a restaurant (truly a rarity for us these days!), followed by a cupcake feast (cupcakes made by Fiona, with a little help from Mom).
Anybody else notice that Campbell seems to always be eating with her grandfathers?
And, just to get us all caught up, a summary of a couple of highlights from the past 2 months.
Fiona and Campbell joined our community group for a morning of volunteering at Spiral Gardens Community Food Project, an urban farm/nursery in our neighborhood. Fiona met a chicken at close range (and was more excited than she appears).
She also met her first earthworm at close range, which was WAY more exciting than the chicken!
And she was, truly, a big help.
That very afternoon, the girls attended their first bowling party. That's right: their friend, Luther, celebrated his 2nd birthday at a local bowling alley.
Despite her confidence and stunning form (and a LOT of parental help), Fiona didn't break any records.
Both girls did, however, have a wonderful time, appearances to the contrary. Have you ever seen a more depressed (or, with that red-eye, evil) group of kids? It's like
