Last week Todd had a conference in Orlando, so I called in the troops! Grammie and Uncle Jojo flew in to hang with Miss Charlotte. It was such a treat to have them both in CVille, though I wish they could have extended their stay to be in town on days that I didn't have to work. Family visits always seem to go by too fast.
Eventhough I had to work each day they were here, we were able to spend most evenings together. One night, Jojo and I headed to a favorite restaurant in town called "Continental Divide", though you wouldn't know that to be the name if you walked by because outside it just says "Get In Here" ...my kind of place ;) They have yummy Mexican food and I thought it would be fun for Jojo and I to belly up to the bar for a few drinks before ordering carry-out (which in the Winfield home is considered "cooking"). We got in some solid brother/sister bonding time over margaritas and Pacificos! Cuppie and I later snuck out for a frozen treat at another local hot spot called Arch's (think DQ but local and WAY WAY better....nothing better than low-fat yogurt and not so low-fat toppings!).
Overall it was a wonderful week with Jojo and Cuppie! They were able to spend quality time with Charlie, sprinkled in with some time with me :) However, the highlight of the week? Drum roll please.......Charlotte rolled over!! Cuppie was the one to catch it for the first time :) Being a working mom I know that I will miss out on some of Charlotte's "firsts" but it was really nice that Cuppie was there to see it first hand. She is such a wonderful Grammie and we are so lucky to have her to help us with Miss Charlotte (aka Sassypants). No Nanny McPhee this time but Nanny Cuppie & Jojo had a few magic tricks up their sleeves to help calm the Sassafras down while I was trotting around down in my luon :)
*Disclaimer: I certainly didn't take enough photos to accurately portray the week we shared, so the few below will have to do*
~Cuppie LOVES to be sure Charlie's feet aren't cold....socks are a MUST when Grammie is in town~
