the return of nan

Nan made the long journey back out west to see her darling grandson. It was great to see her, and she and Jake enjoyed each other. They spent the whole time giggling and cooing at each other. Besides helping out with dish washing, folding laundry and general tidying up, Nan spent lots of time with Jake. She changed diapers, she pushed him in the stroller
she hung out with him in bed in the early mornings, while Dad made breakfasts and Mom slept in
she went swimming with Jake
she helped bath Jake
she played with him in the sun room, watching the outside world
and she held him all that she could.

As a special treat for Mom and Dad, she looked after Jake while they went out to a movie one night; and they went for lunch at a nearby pub (delicious beer). All of us enjoyed a gourmet dinner at the Mahle house with some adventure dining where you don't know what the chef will prepare for you.

All in all it was a great visit. Jake loves his Nan.
