Great Grandma & Grandpa Miller

We were fortunate to have a visit from Great Grandma & Grandpa Miller the first week of August. They came with us to swim lessons and cheered the kids on as they blew bubbles and practiced their big kicks and big arms. Gavin & Emilia invited Grandma and Grandpa over to our house to play. Grandma and Grandpa were great sports getting down on the floor and blasting the castles with fiery balls from the cannons of the pirate ship. We all went and picked blueberries, Grandpa went through and found all of the biggest blueberries and managed to fill his basket up first. Gavin & Emilia of course munched through the activity. We went to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon where they need larger obstructions to keep toddlers from priceless exhibits. In the Status & Authority of Imperial China exhibit Miss Emilia Rae made some serious progress towards a Qing Dynasty throne that made her mommy’s tummy somersault. We were more at peace with the modern art bench we were allowed to sit on & in the beautiful courtyard where wiggles & touching were more welcomed. Grandma sang with my kids which just touches my heart because one of my favorite parts about seeing my Grandma is always hearing her sing and feeling in awe of the vast collection of songs she seems to effortlessly keep in her repertoire. Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star & ABC’s never sounded so sweet. We love you Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks for coming over to play.
