A Visit To Quin's Great-Grandma


Quin's great-grandma Emma has been sick for a few weeks now, so we decided that it was time we pay her a visit. So, Monday afternoon I packed up the car and headed up to Dallas (along with my mom). The three hour drive also served as a test run for our big move to Colorado (albeit 5 times shorter!), which should prove to be an interesting adventure.

Spending time with grandma was really nice. She is actually doing a bit better than I expected, which was a great surprise. She loved spending time with Quin, amazed by how much he has grown and how smart he is. She was really fascinated by all of the sign language Quin knows and how well he can communicate. Quin was a bit of a handful, especially since there wasn't much to hold his attention, but he did enjoy climbing all over grandma, patting her tummy (it made a nice drum, even making a hollow sound), and giving her kisses.
All in all, it was a great visit and I am really glad that we were able to see her again, even if it was short.
