This has been a very busy spring! First there was the wonderful and very rare 3 week visit with our son, Jon and Sarah. Less than 2 weeks later we were in Japan for 18 days. A couple of weeks later our daughter, Tiffany and family arrived. It's been absolutely amazing and we're enjoying every single minute.
This will be one of their shortest visits since KC is now in school and it's difficult for Ed to be so far away from his job. Every single minute has been crammed with things to do. Blogging has had to take a back seat.
I had fun seeing KC teaching her great grandmother how to make cupcakes on her mommy's iPhone. You can see that mom's eye is still healing. Seeing tiny things on the iPhone was difficult without her glasses.
KC would demonstrate the action and then hand it to mom and tell her, "Now it's your turn." If mom pressed the wrong thing KC would say, "Don't worry Aachan, I can fix it."
I think KC will be a whiz in kindergarten this coming fall. But then again, you have to remember this is her grandmother speaking.
What I really loved seeing was mom and KC playing ball together. I can't believe mom was also doing kickball with KC. Mom is loving having her great granddaughter tell her "ohio gozaimasu" (good morning) at the start of each day.
I wish the visit could be longer, but then again... we'll be going over to visit them in Illinois in fall.
At least the summer should be restful and maybe a bit too quiet.

"Too quiet"? I'm at the point where I look forward to any days on my calendar that have nothing written.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures here. What a blessing.
What a beautiful picture of two generations. Grandchildren are so special and family times are the best times. My grandchildren love the IPhone and IPad also. They could teach me a lot because I don't have either.
ReplyDeleteHow fun for your mom to have that time with KC. They can learn so much from each other.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little girl KC is. And your mom's eye does look a lot better, although not completely well. I love the picture of the two of them playing ball! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, sweet post, enjoy your visit!!
ReplyDeleteI know you are all having such a wonderful visit! Delightful to be able to be together!! When I went to work for Komatsu in Oregon, "ohio gozaimasu" was the first Japanese words I learned in my language class! It was the very best job I ever had and I made so many wonderful friends from Japan! Thanks for the fun memories, Kay!!

ReplyDeletehow KC has grown! Enjoy this precious time!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully special. Enjoy every minute.

ReplyDeleteAh -- aren't we ALL substantially biased (and 100% truthful) when speaking of our brilliant grandchildren???
ReplyDeleteIt warms my heart to see the two of them together. What a blessing!
Thanks for sharing just a bit of what is going on during your family's visit. I love the KC quotes. Little granddaughters are so precious.
ReplyDeletethat's a very thoughtful title for the post.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for your mom, Kay, and KC is now old enough that she'll retain memories of her great-grandmother, which is even more wonderful.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sight, seeing mom and KC playing ball together. Look at Mom reaching for that ball! Normally, I would get a charley horse just looking at the picture, but Mom gives me new hope. I have to change my attitude...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, Kay. I know you're having the time of your life. Life doesn't get any better than this - family makes it so good!
Glad you are enjoying the visit. Grandkids are so precious, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHow adorable are the pair of them and wee KC is growing up fast. Have fun and spoil her rotten.
