Visit with Grandpa, GiGi and Aunt Brittany

Jim, Jean and Brittany came up for a visit yesterday. They got in town around lunch time, so we met them at a restaurant for lunch. Robbie tried to include the entire restaurant in our conversation. Luckily there weren't too many people there, so hopefully they thought it was cute, not annoying!

Robbie fell asleep on the way home, so we had a chance to visit while he was napping. Later that afternoon we drove down to St. Augustine. It was fun walking around, and our "guests" hadn't been there in a long time. The city decorates with a lot of lights. I was sad that I forgot to bring the camera. After dinner we walked to the Lightner Museum because the gardens and building looked nice with all of the lights. We saw a bride, though we couldn't figure out if the man she was with was the groom (he looked a lot older), and a couple get engaged. It was a beautiful place for both a wedding and an engagement!

Whether everyone was ready or not, Robbie was up before 7 this morning. I thought I'd let Jim and Jean have grandparent time with him while I slept in. :) Jim has taken it upon himself to go to Panera to pick up bagels for breakfast whenever they come visit. He's done it so often he knows what bagels we all like! Since Robbie didn't want to nap we headed out to Babies R Us. Jim and Jean bought Alex his bedding and sheets. I'll take pictures when it's all set up. We also found a toddler swing set that we bought for Robbie. Then we drove to the west side of town and had lunch at a restaurant that Jean's friend suggested. There are some cute stores that we browsed and Robbie got to pet some stuffed dogs. You would have thought they were real dogs, but it's so cute!

We came home and opened presents. Robbie got some new books, a cute monkey bath towel (I'll have to get a picture of him in it!) and a toy car garage. It's fun watching Robbie playing with the garage, though he also thought it was a new seat for him. I said he was acting like Godzilla, because he was stepping on it and if there were little people in the cars you would probably hear them screaming.

We had a good visit and look forward to seeing them again when Alex arrives!
