On Sunday we picked up lunch and headed to Duncanville to visit my dad's mom, Mima. I have so many memories visiting my grandparent's house when I was growing up that it was a great feeling to have Jack there. I have baby pictures of me on their living room floor and on the couches that I've always looked at and to have my own child there was a bit surreal. I took Jack and showed him where I had eaten so many holiday meals surrounded by family. I loved it! I also loved seeing Mima meet and interact with him.
On Monday we headed to go old Wichita Falls to visity my mom's mom, Nina. My mom grew up in Wichita Falls and I've been anxious to get Jack there to meet Nina. We had a wonderful day and Jack was on his best behavior. After we got in town, we went out to lunch and then picked Jack up a few goodies at Storkland, a children's store that I remember going to each time I visited Wichita Falls when I was little. I was pretty excited to visit it again now that I'm a mom (is that dorky?). Nina just loved Jack and the way he interacted with us. She is one proud great grandma and wanted to meet him so much for the last 2 months. It was such a wonderful day that I will never forget!
On the days we weren't travelling, we stayed busy taking Jack shopping and to lunches & dinners with the Bloomer and Marshall clan. Holly had just gotten back her Europe excursion so we were also able to meet up with her one afternoon.

We had a great week that we will never forget (well, Jack won't remember it, but he'll always see the pictures!). It went by way too fast, but I know we'll see everyone again soon.
