Jenny's mum aka 'Nana' came back for a couple of weeks this summer ... we were able to get out and about a lot more than during her last visit (it was February and thick snow last time!!).
Abigail helped Nana in the kitchen when she cooked us dinner ...
We went to swim in the pool at Lake Park one day ... but also had some fun in the paddling pool in the back yard ... (just a few hours before this photo was taken Nana had been laying in the pool sleeping and catching some rays!!)
Mark had made Abigail a little house using packing boxes from when we moved out to the States last year. One afternoon while Abigail was sleeping Nana painted and decorated it for her ... with a little help once Abigail had woken up!!
Although Abigail's 2nd birthday wasn't until after Nana left ... we opened one of her pressies from her Great Grannie ... so Nana could take some photos home with her ... as you can see Abigail was very excited with her tunnel and tents!! (She's still having hours of fun in it several weeks later!)
While Nana was here Mark was laid out flat with a bad back ... so it was great to have an extra pair of hands to help with everything. Every night Abigail enjoys stories just before bedtime after her bath ... here Nana, Abigail and Monkey are enjoying her favourite story of all time ... The Lost Sheep!
We also visited Amish country again ... and Nana was able to meet a load of our other friends going along to some of the MMS ladies things with Jenny and coming to our church fun day. We also had an added bonus ... with a couple of days away all together ... check out our next blog to find out where! ;o)
