Monday,
September 1st was Labor Day so Robin and Jeremy were home from work and Autumn was home from daycare. Frank and Jeremy did some household enhancements and fixes. They programmed the garage door opener, replaced a light switch in the ceiling fan/light in Autumn's room, and did some puttering in the yard. Robin and I went through her fabric stash, talked quilting, and entertained Autumn. Jeremy barbecued hamburgers for a traditional Labor Day dinner. It was a laid back day that we enjoyed just being in each other's company. Frank and I and Robin all packed - Robin to head to Columbus Ohio for work Tuesday morning and us to return home to California Tuesday afternoon. Toward evening time, we took some pictures out on the front porch swing with Robin and then with Autumn.

| Autumn thinks being sandwiched between and being squooshed by Grandma and Grandpa is fun. |
Jeremy kept busy taking photos of us or watering shrubs. Autumn was quite interested in the water spray but we had to convince her that if she wanted to get wet, she had to let Rainbow Brite stay with someone else since Rainbow Brite did not want to get wet. It was a hard choice to make.
 |
| Autumn wanted badly to play in the water but she was reluctant to relinquish Rainbow Brite. |
 |
| Autumn decides it may be OK to let me hold Rainbow Brite for her for just a bit. |
The lure of water won out. Jeremy obliged by letting a little errant spray of water occasionally slip over Autumn. Autumn's Daddy was once again her hero.
 |
| Finger tips in the water spray is just the beginning. |

| "Oh, Daddy. You're so silly! Spray me again!" |
It was a really great visit and we are so glad we made the effort - even if we had just seen them all in June!
Sounds like a great trip! Three months between grandkid visits is actually a lot of time, especially since they grow and change so quickly. I know that my mom intends to see Vivian at least every two months to try to keep up with the changes (plus, she really, really misses her!). I say, visit as often as you like and don't ever think that you "just" saw them. Some grandparents see their grandkids every day, so seeing your grandkids every few months is certainly not overkill!
