Chris and Nanna G in Town

Mike's mom arrived from Portland, ME for a visit this past Thursday night. We didn't make any big plans and instead spent the weekend visiting and enjoying Louis! Friday I had to work so Mike and Nancy had the baby all to themselves! Friday evening Mike's brother, Chris flew in from Colorado and we picked him up and went straight to the Elliot Bay Brewing Company for a beer and dinner. It was Louis' first time to meet his one and only Uncle and they got along just fine - Chis was very cute with the baby!!

Saturday was Valentine's Day. Mike and his family took care of Louis again while I worked 6 hours. When I got home we went for a little walk, opened presents -( Nancy went crazy with gifts) and then Mike and I cooked up some steaks, sweet potatoes, broccoli and salad - it was great!

Sunday, we decided we had hung around the house enough and planned to walk along Ruston Way on the Tacoma Waterfront. It ended up raining though so after we ate lunch at the Renaissance Cafe, we walked across the street and went to the Washington History Museum. Sunday night we cooked up some spaghetti and meatballs!

Monday, was Chris' last full day in Seattle so after Mike worked a half day he took Louis to day care and him, his mom and brother ventured to Seattle. Nancy said it was the quickest tour of Seattle ever - they toured the Space Needle and Pike's Market in about 2 1/2 hours! Monday night we were going to go out to dinner but by the time everyone got back from Seattle I had put Louis to bed so instead we ordered Thai and played a little RummyKube!

Tuesday, Mike's mom kept Louis all day while we worked and she also had to take Chris to the airport. It was so good to see Mike's brother - we hadn't seen in about 2 years!

Wednesday, was my day off so Mike's mom and I hung out and played with the baby all day! Nancy made us some eggs and English muffins for breakfast! Mike came home from work a little early to visit one last time and eat leftovers for dinner. Sadly, we had to take Nancy to the airport for a midnight flight, but before she left we got her video camera to work on her computer so we can video chat all the time!! Louis liked Nancy so much and would love to look at her and smile at her and was always a good baby whenever she kept him!

It was so good to see Mike's family and can't wait to see his mom again in May and we told Chris we can't go 2 years without seeing him again!!
