Annabelle loved being with Grandmom and Pappy Wenck for a whole week, and I am pretty sure (and by pretty sure I mean %100 sure) that Grandmom and Pappy loved having Annabelle at their house for seven whole days. Unfortunately Annabelle got another ear ache so we had to take her to an immediate care center to get some antibiotics. I knew something wasn't right because she was not acting her self, but Grandmom was sure she was just being grumpy and had us let her cry her self to sleep, later to find out her poor little ears were bothering her. I made sure to tell Annabelle that it was all Grandmom's fault that she was upstairs crying in her crib, not Mommy's. Grandmom definitely had some guilt around that, but a lesson was learned: always go with Mommy's instinct.
We got to visit with lots of friends and family. One day Annabelle, Grandmom, and I drove up to visit with my cousins and their little ones. Annabelle loved playing with her cousins.
Annabelle also got to meet her two great-grandmothers on my side of the family. I loved showing off my daughter to my Grandmother's, and of course they both loved meeting Annabelle.In addition to family, we also got to see some family friends. As usual, Annabelle was the center of attention. I even had the chance to get together with my high school girl friends. It was wonderful seeing everyone and catching up.
Besides seeing lots of people, we mostly just hung out and relaxed with Grandmom and Pappy and hung out with Uncle Ryan several times. And of course Annabelle visited her Uncle Ryan at the bar.
It was a great week and sad to say good-bye, but both Annabelle and I are also glad to be back home with James (Daddy) and in sunny Colorado.

It looks like Annabelle did what she does best, she made people smile. In this case it was Mom. Thank you Annabelle.
