The Adventures of Grandma Kathy

My Mom was here with us from Saturday, February 28th through Monday, March 9th. It was nice to have the extra help. Before the baby came she was able to do a few things around town along with helping me get a bit more organized.

Remember the horse from Christmas? This isn't the same one...it kind of got reincarnated since we couldn't really take it on the plane or have it shipped.

Grandma Kathy brought a badge for the horse that says "Arizona Sheriff" and has David's name engraved on it. He didn't notice but I thought it was a sweet little addition.

Touring the Gore Place in Waltham
This is the old mansion of one of the old Massachusetts Governors
It snowed so much today that BU canceled classes and this was the only thing we could find to do that wasn't closed down. March surely comes in like a lion!

Tuesday, March 3rd
Orchard House--Home of Louisa May Alcott
We also took grandma for a quick walk on the Old North Bridge
The path was snowy and cold; better luck in the spring!

Wednesday, March 4th
Legal Seafood
We told grandma that we were going for the inexpensive but wonderful clam chowder. Brad surprised her by ordering lobster instead...Grandma Kathy's favorite. David, Brad, and Grandma had fun. I didn't feel too great at dinner. Upper back pain and not much of an appetite. Little did I know those were signs of early labor!

The tasty lobster...

Holding baby William just one last time. My Mom watched David on the 5th and the 6th while I was in the hospital. She was able to tour downtown Boston and Cambridge a bit on Saturday and Sunday, luckily the weather cooperated. It was really wonderful to have her here with us.
