Grandma to the Rescue

This is a tribute to my mom (a.k.a. Grandma) for helping us out when we hit a jam with bad travel schedules - Nathan going to New Jersey for bidder conferences at the last minute while Jen went to Kentucky to run a conference. Oof! All is well that ends well, though, eh?

The girls definitely had a great time. I realize belatedly that we didn't toss Alexander into the picture. He may have been sleeping at the time these pictures were snapped. We wouldn't have gotten these if Nathan didn't make an executive decision and tossed the girls onto Grandma for photos. Veronica is still recovering and is really looking forward to when Grandma and Grandpa come out in a month or so. However, she keeps saying Whiskers will be coming, too... Not sure what Grandma has been filling her head with.

In the time that Nathan and Jennifer flew off into separate directions, Grandma kept Alexander and Veronica happy and fed and entertained, and somehow managed to administer Alex's nebulizer, baby Xantac, and Amoxicillan. When mommy and daddy got back, they discovered that Alexander had added a couple upper teeth (to match the two lower front teeth), and Veronica was 2 inches taller!

Last but not least, I had to add the latest family portrait that I picked up this afternoon - it came with the girl. I had only just noticed the fifth figure in the picture. The only thing I could reason is that Grandma is one of the figures in the family portrait, and that the little guy is Alexander. I will have to interrogate the girl in the morning.
