A Nice Visit

Mom and Dad came down for a visit over the weekend and Seth was loving every second of it (along with the rest of us). Papa Roper came over for dinner and Dad and Mark made excellent New York Strips. (Trey decided to stick to his liquid diet, but everyone else loved them!) Mom was at his beckon call as they read books, did puzzles, caught fish on pampas grass lines and fried them up in a hat (cute one) and played, played, played.

Seth thought it was really funny when Papa said he was going to put Grandma in Time Out!

Seth and Papa got ready together and we had lunch at California Dreaming. Yum! Just before they left, Seth fell asleep in Mom's arms. When he woke up, the first thing he asked was, "Where Damma and Papa?" When Mark told him that they had to go home you would have though that we told him they died. He yelled out a sorrowful "No" and proceeded to cry hysterically. He crawled into my lap with one fist balled up over an eye and sobbed, "I needed to see them." He calmed down when he heard that we are going up there next weekend for Easter, but throughout the evening he'd occasionally call out, "Dem not gone."
