Visiting Mamaw and Meme

Last weekend, we took Nathan and Charlotte to see Wayne's grandmothers. Helen came over Thursday morning (with breakfast!) and then we loaded everyone up in our car and headed out. Nathan was in the best mood and was so excited to have everyone with him in the car. Plus Grandmother brought us lots of snacks :)

Mamaw is Helen's mom and lives in Winnsboro which is only about 2 hours from Frisco so we stopped there first. Even though Nathan hadn't seen Mamaw in a while, he was his usual friendly, outgoing self, and walked right in like a big boy giving her a big hug and kiss.


Nathan sure wasn't shy!

Mamaw loved seeing Charlotte for the first time.


And Charlotte gave her lots of smiles!


While we were visiting with Mamaw, Nathan kept himself occupied by playing with the mirror. Here, he's showing his "wrestling" face.


And, now that we have Charlotte, Nathan loves to pretend that he's a baby too...her car seat is Nathan's newest toy :)


After visiting in Mamaw's apartment for a while, she then took us for a tour of the rest of her building.


Nathan stayed right with her and was sure to say hi to all of her friends.


Here is the outside living area. There's even a big screen TV above the outdoor fireplace! When we left, Nathan gave more hugs and kisses and was so sweet.

As soon as we started driving again, Nathan fell asleep so we drove for another 1 1/2hours to Texarkana where we stopped for lunch. And then we finished the trip to El Dorado. Both Nathan and Charlotte were great travelers! Nathan is pretty happy in the car as long as he has his snacks and movies!


Meme was so happy to see us and meet Charlotte.

Once again, Nathan made himself right at home and walked up and down the halls talking to everyone. At one point, he just sat on the floor in front of Meme's room waving to anyone who walked past :)


After seeing Meme, we went to Uncle Mike and Aunt Cathy's house for dinner. Nathan had the best time there because they have a room for their grand kids to stay in when they visit that has tons of toys in it. Nathan was quick to take out every single toy he could find!


The next morning, we left pretty early to head back to Texas. Wayne and Helen had a few things they needed to do before leaving so Nathan and I spent some time at the park.




I swear Nathan makes a new friend everywhere we go. Here he is with Chandler. He was swinging by himself so Nathan went up to him and said, "You can play with me if you want to." How cute is that?!

He's just like his Mommy! As soon as I get in the car, I want to take a nap too! Although our trip was quick, it was a lot of fun. I'm so glad Nathan and Charlotte were able to see their great grandmothers, and it was also neat to be back in El Dorado. We drove by both of our old houses and told Nathan that's where we used to live...I don't think he really got it :) It did bring back a lot of memories though!
