Grandma & Great-Grandma visit

Thomas's Grandma & Great-Grandma visited from Buffalo this weekend. It was the first time that Thomas met his great-grandmother. He spent a lot of time cooing for her & she spent a lot of time telling him that he was a good talker and very alert. Needless to say, they got along famously.


Here's a picture of all 4 generations.


Lest you fear that the visit was simply the lovely end to a difficult week, I must add that Saturday night around 3:30am as I was nursing Thomas, I heard my grandmother going down the stairs to the living room where my mother was sleeping. They talked for a minute then my mother came upstairs and said, "There's a bat in grandma's bedroom. She's fine & she closed her door, but the cat's still in there." Sigh. Of course a second bat came in; of course it was with my 85-year-old grandmother. This time, however, we were much more clever & we caught it & kept it (using the same filing box trick we learned from bat #1). We also called Public Health & they told us to freeze it until they could come pick it up. They'll test it for rabies Tuesday (after the long weekend). Keep your fingers crossed that my grandmother doesn't have to get a rabies shot!

Grandma, by the way, was very impressed. She likes having new experiences & described the bat swooping with wings like an eagle. Glad we could spice up her life a little bit.
