Grandma's Book

We just got a package today from Grandma. She sent a few things, including some fall stickers for the windows, a t-shirt for Eleanor and a fantastic rhubarb recipe. But, the crown jewel of the package was a book, made especially for Eleanor, of Grandma and Grandpa's new driveway. Wow, did she love it. I think I am going to have to laminate it so that she doesn't destroy it as she reads and rereads it.



Eleanor's favorite page included the pictures of the red dump trucks. She made some beeping sounds -- the kind a truck makes when backing up -- and pointed out the various parts of the truck.



My personal favorite page was the page with the mini-loader on it. It was so sweet of Grandma to think of Eleanor when the mini-loader arrived and photo document the whole process. The mini-loader has been one of Eleanor's favorite trucks since the day Henry was born, so to have one in the book was pretty special.



We want to send a huge thank you to Grandma for her thoughtful handmade gift. It was obviously created with a lot of love. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family.

In other news, today was a big day for Henry as well. He had his 2 month checkup. Unbelievable, that our little tiny baby is already two months old. And, his big sister is 21 months old. Where does the time go?! Anyway, Henry got a clean bill of health and seems to be growing like a weed. He absolutely detested the shots though -- he got as mad as a hatter when the nurse gave them to him. I imagine he will sleep well tonight.
