Sparky's Last Day in Houston

Houston, TX     High:  88    Low:  72

Sparky spent her last day hanging out with her daughter, Kerry and little Barron...we just took it easy as it was very hot out...Sparky watched the first Star Trek movie from 2009 while Barron took his nap, and Kerry ran errands. Sparky played a LOT with her little grandson and read him some stories....
He really really loves to look at books and he's less than a year old!
One of Barron's favorite things to do with his mommy is to listen to a little train video called "Choo-Choo Train" by Pigs Fly Studio on YouTube. So they did that, too....

Pizza for supper, Tutti Frutti frozen yogurt for dessert...and the day was gone before we knew it. Sparky decided to make a little photo collage of her favorites that she took during her visit to remember in the blog.....Some day the blog is going to be made into a book, and Sparky wanted all these photos to be here, even if they are repeated, because they are so precious!....So here they are......
Sparky will not forget this special visit. She got to see what a wonderful job Kerry is doing as his mom, to see little Barron learning to enjoy books, to see him develop some pretty sophisticated fine motor skills as he carefully turned the pages in his board books. She got to be very very silly with Barron...exchanging all kinds of silly noises, like giving each other the "raspberries"...making all kinds of sounds together...getting to see him giggle over every little small thing Grandma did to make him smile, like tickling him...She got to watch him play one of his favorite games with the multiple pillows on a bed or sofa...Watching him take a big jump on one side of the pillows and fall down on them, then turn to the other side and jump and fall, PLOP! on the pillows and then laugh his head off at his own antics. This little guy was just full of joy and wonderment, and Sparky enjoyed every single moment of it......

It's not easy being far away from grandchildren, but we will plan another visit before too much time gets away from us......
