Grandma Sue Comes to Visit

Neal's mom, Susan, came for a week long visit. We enjoyed her company and going on outings with her. Grandma helped Keri make Sophie's tutu one night.
Wonderful See's Candies from CA! Thanks Mom!...We went to the Dallas World Aquarium. Everyone had a good time seeing all the cool fauna and flora. Except poor Rhys got crapped on by a bird (he he) and we packed baby formula but forgot a bottle so we had to get creative. We were flustered and did not know what to do so Susan suggested that we have a little prayer. We got a little in his tummy by carefully using cup feeding and then a straw. Then he fell asleep from being so upset. Thanks to the prayer we were able to handle the situation as calmly as possible which is not easy to do with a screaming, hungry boy. Don't worry, we have been better parents ever since. Looking through the same exhibit from the other side...Bummer! Rhys was a target for a bird.We also visited Susan's family in Garland. She was able to see her aunt, uncle, cousins, and so forth. Susan also was given a doll of her Aunt Melba's that she has admired for years.
Susan's Aunt Dorothy, Uncle Alvin, and his wife, Melba.Lastly, we enjoyed some warm weather at the Dallas Arboretum. We took a brief tram tour and then walked some of the grounds. Thanks Susan for all the love you show as a parent and Grandma. We really enjoyed having you.
