Home Sweet Home
We got back from visiting Grandaddy this morning and we were beat! We both took a nap and when she woke up Mike got up with Landry while I slept a while longer. Landry slept the entire flight there but she stayed awake the entire time on the way home. She wore me out because she really wanted out of that seat. How do people travel across the world with a small child? I don't know how you keep them happy for 25 hours! She charmed everyone in the airport and was so funny. I am afraid for the men that come in to her life one day(in, you know, 30 years or so). They don't stand a chance against her charm.
We didn't do anything while we were there and that was just fine with me. I have learned to appreciate the quietness and tranquility of sitting in a room next to my Daddy and not even having to speak. I love the fact that I can be there just to watch him love on Landry and even better...for her to love on him. The first day, he cut an apple for a snack and she zeroed in on it. She hadn't quite warmed up to him completely yet but as soon as he started sharing his fruit she was all his. She gave him kisses, 
blew him kisses and actually sat in his lap for a while. She never sits in my lap these days because she has more important things to be doing so I was kind of shocked that she did. I wasn't fast enough to get my camera out for the apples but when I ordered Giovanni's pizza(the best on the planet by the way) she was a girl on a mission. She made no less than 7 trips to get a little piece of pizza from her Grandaddy. I think they were both in heaven. He was quite impressed with his littlest grand baby. She did all of her tricks and showed off her vocabulary and signs for him. One of the funniest moments of the trip was when Landry pee-peed on the potty and we all did the happy song and dance for her. She asked for her 'TWEET' and she looked to him for it. Thinking about him so excited for her makes my heart smile. Ann, my aunt has been staying with them while she has been going through chemo treatment for cancer. It is in her throat and she has had quite a time with it. Between that and Daddy's really bad back it has been kind of crazy around there. My stepmother has been such a rock for both of them. She was out of town this week which was one of the reasons I went. She is a hard worker and I really admire her for all of her strength and devotion to my Daddy. They truly truly love each other and it is comforting knowing that he is loved so much. Although his back is a mess his mind is sharp as a tack. He has been spending a great deal of time working on some pretty stellar projects in his church. He has spent months working on some new programs and proposals for them and I think that they are really going to benefit from his experience and knowledge. I am so happy that he has found a great use of his time and talent. I know he enjoys sharing his gifts with God and everyone benefits when you do that. I am so thankful for our time together and that Landry is getting to build a relationship with someone I love so very much.
