Trip To Yakima

What A Wonderful World~

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky,

Are also on the faces of people going by,

I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do,

They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,

They'll learn much more than I'll never know,

And I think to myself what a wonderful world,

Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Last Monday, December 7, 2009, we went to visit Nate's Gramma Francis. Nate is adopted and Gramma Francis is his biological grandmother. We adore her! We decided that it would be the perfect "weekend" to visit her because it had not yet snowed enough on Snoqualmie pass to make the drive dangerous. It was a good thing we did, because it has been snowing all day. We had a great visit. Max had a wonderful time playing with Gramma Fran, and he loved her carpeted floors. Carpet equals traction, something we don't have in the Nemo house, and traction makes practicing crawling a much easier task. Nate and I also got seperate nights off, where we went down to the Yakima Legends Casino and tried our hands at gambling. It was the first time, in the history of visits to Gramma Francis's house, that we all three came away with our original seed money. We had a blast and Max can't wait to see his Gramma Fran again. Hopefully, we won't have to wait until Spring.

Max playing with Gramma Francis and getting up on all fours. The boy will be mobile soon!

Giving Gramma Francis the standard Maxwell flirty grin. He's a charmer.

Once again, charming the pants off everyone, and playin' with his rattle teddy.

Getting pissy at mommy, because she won't leave him alone...to play in peace.
