My mom and gramma flew in for a quick weekend visit to help celebrate Chloe's momentous 2 year birthday. God worked the timing out perfectly! They were a huge help with Chloe and a distraction to us while Matt was out of town.Friday morning we all went to the appt. with my midwife. It was so fun to have everyone there to hear the baby's heartbeat with me! The midwife was so kind and friendly to them and explained a lot to us all.
Next, we hit the locally-famous burger joint where (supposedly) the hamburger was invented. The restaurant overlooked the Akron Aeros Stadium. Chloe kept busy by watching the lawn mowers and continually pointing and saying, "There's Tiger!" I guess the bright green reminded her of pga golf.
Friday night we ventured to Hudson for what else - cupcakes! The grandmas were impressed. And Chloe got to try a new flavor - mint chocolate chip. Hers was way better than my cup of java cupcake.
On the way home, we stopped at a park we'd never been to. It turned out to be a really unique park with all wooden play equipment and tires integrated throughout. We'll definitely be going back.Saturday I had hoped to try out our new gps system to find a beach. No such luck. The weather was cold and crummy. Instead we went shopping! The weather's always perfect for shopping and my mom wanted to buy Chloe a special birthday outfit. And boy did she find the perfect party dress (you'll have to wait until my post about Chloe's party to see it)! After lots of shopping and spoiling of Chloe with new clothes (thanks ma!) we hit McD's and the playplace for lunch. We rarely go to McD's, but now that we have Chloe, those playplaces are so alluring. Wouldn't it be grand if someone made kid-friendly coffee shops or delis?
Saturday night we vegged at home. The highlight of the evening though was webcamming with my sis who lives overseas. As soon as Chloe heard my sister's voice on the computer, she said "Auntie Shauna email!" excitedly. :) We opened my sister's bday gift to Chloe (a very cool ice cream ball maker thingy - thanks Shaun!) and chatted.
It was so much wonderful fun to share Chloe with my mom and gramma! Thanks again for spending the moola to come visit us!

It's so wonderful that you have such a great mom and grandma. Chloe looks like she is in pig's heaven spending time with them. It's so neat when you post the pictures of the 4 generations of gals.:)
How special that you brought everyone to your appt. What does Chloe think about hearing the baby's heartbeat?
Does this little gal know her golf or does she know her golf?! What she said about Tiger is adorable. I'm guessing that someone in her immediate family watches golf:).
Is your mom's cupcake a lemon one? I think that I would take lemon over chocolate. All of the cupcakes looked delicious.
Glad you had a nice time with your mom and grandma. They look like fun, "up for anything", spunky ladies:). Take care!
How exciting!!! Sounds like you had a great time. I'm curious about your midwife - did you have her for Chloe's birth or is this a new thing? Are you planning a hospital birth or home birth? Are you going to try for a VBAC? (If any of these questions are too personal, feel free to delete my comment...) :-)
Sounds like a nice visit with your Mom and Gramma. Those cupcakes looked yummy!!
What a fun time!!! I'm sure Chloe enjoyed it immensely!!! That's great that they came to keep you company too! Your Mom and Gramma do look like fun ladies!
That's so fun that you took your Mom and Gramma to your appointment! There truly is nothing like hearing a babies heartbeat! When do you get to find out what you're having? You're looking great by the way!!!
WOW!!! Sounds like you have been totally enjoying your mom and grandmom for the last few days! I must admit, I am very jelous that your mom comes to visit you on a continued basis. My parents don't come to see us to much...i wish they did!! it is usually up to us to go to PA to visit them. :( Which means that we don't get to see them as often.
You look great btw!! I totally love the shirts you have sewed on your own!!
sounds like so much fun!
mint chocolate chip muffin sounds wonderful!
