Nana

I love my readers and I am so sorry that I have been away for over a week, but rest assured it has been for a wonderful reason.

Steve and I have anticipated this moment for several months and we were overjoyed to have the opportunity to finally pack up Ms. Addisyn and drive an hour to the Philadelphia Airport to pick up her Nana. Nana flew all the way out to Delaware from California to see her granddaughter for the second time since she was born. We don’t get to see Nana as often as we would like, but we are so blessed when we do. Infact, this November, Addisyn will meet her Papa, aunt Kasie, uncle Matt, uncle Robbie, and cousins Treydan and Matty for the first time. If I could only find those money tree seeds, I would plant myself a tree and reap from the branches as often as the leaves would sprout to fund a flight out to California. Addisyn’s time with Nana is precious and this past week was all about the two of them.  Most of the time was spent relaxing as a family, but it took a conscious effort from Nana not to constantly kiss all over Addisyn’s adorable little cheeks.

As Nana’s do best, Addisyn was spoiled for a whole week. Oh heck, let’s be honest…I was spoiled for a whole week too. Addisyn has discovered the freedom of movement and is going nonstop in every direction. A third set of eyes, arms, and legs was exactly what this tired and busy mommy needed this week. With Nana to the rescue, I caught up on some picture editing for clients. Nana loved all over her.. first thing in the morning as Addisyn’s eyes were adjusting to the morning commotion from the dogs.

and at the local orchard and farmer’s market

and on a girls shopping outing for Addisyn’s fall and winter wardrobe. Thank you, Nana, for getting her the fruit chewy thingy. She loves sucking the juice out of fresh fruit.

Addisyn also graduated from the carseat to sitting up like a big girl in the shopping cart. BTW- does anyone know where I can get a good deal on those shopping cart covers? Even though I cleaned every nook and cranny within her grasp, I would still feel better with something to cover it. I digress. My point: she was on the move this week; crawling, climbing, shopping, and traveling.

We made a special trip to Virginia so Nana could see where I grew up. Oh no Addisyn! Two grandma’s at once. Whatever will you do :-)

She played and talked and moved all about…

but her favorite activity was to go on a walk with her Grandma and Nana.

The time with Nana was too short. The week went by entirely too fast and before we knew it, we were saying goodbye

Thank you, Nana, for all the wonderful moments you spent with Addisyn. I know she feels your love.

Until November,

Stacy and Addisyn
