A Visit from GiGi

Last Wednesday, Bobby left to go to New Orleans on a business trip. Since he was going to be gone, it was a good excuse to get my grandmother (Trace's GiGi) to come stay with me and Trace. When GiGi is here, we eat sooo good! On Thursday she decided to make steak and gravy, macaroni-n-cheese and green beans. Sooo YUMMY! A friend of mine from work, Neal, heard what was for dinner and decided she wanted to see just how good grandma's cooking really was. She and her boyfriend, Sammi, came over for dinner and we had a really great time! Trace really enjoyed the all the attention they gave him. He is kind of like his daddy (likes to be the center of attention...gotta love them!!)

In these pictures, Neal is holding Trace while Sammi is putting pieces of my dried plant in his face.

On Thursday, GiGi decided she wanted to keep Trace while I went to work. I understand they had a GREAT time! I took Friday off from work and we decided to go on a shopping spree. GiGi bought Trace a cute outfit for the summer that included sunglasses that he absolutely LOVES and acts so "cool" when he has them on.

Notice the sunglasses in Trace's hands. GiGi had just been attacked by our cat, Willie.

Grandma was supposed to leave on Saturday because she had a hair appointment in Spartanburg and Bobby came back on Saturday. However, she decided to stay an extra night and keep Trace while Bobby and I enjoyed a date night to Outback Steakhouse. It was so nice to have a night where we didn't have to worry and just enjoy each other's company. She even kept Trace Sunday morning while we went to church. Unfortunately, she has a life at home she had to get back to and had to leave Sunday afternoon. Come back soon, GiGi! We love and miss you!!
