To Grandmother's House We Go

Cameron & Grandma

The World Tour of Grandparents has officially ended. In February you took your first trip to STL to visit mommy’s side of the family, and needless to say, you stole the show. Nothing else matters when you come around, especially to Grandma Doreen. You slept most of the drive down there, which we were grateful for because of the limited resources in the family sedan. Everyone came to see you, even people I hadn’t met before. There was Auntie Teresa, Uncle Mark, about 20 great aunts, too many cousins to name & even your drunk Uncle Solomon brought some Crown Royal to commemorate your 1^st trip to the 3-1-4. (Don’t worry; I’ll drink it for you.) I don’t think you wore the clothes that we packed because Grandma bought you so many outfits and of course you wore them so she could get pictures. I am convinced the word Cameron rhymes with the word spoiled.

Cameron & Great-Grandparents

But it doesn’t stop there. The next weekend we visited your Great-grandparents (my grandparents). The joy on their face when we just showed up without calling was priceless. Unexpected guests are always unwanted, but exceptions can be made when it’s your great-grandson. Watching senior citizens trying to take pictures on a smart phone and then ask “Ok, now where does the picture go?” is the funniest thing ever, but they had to capture your 1^st visit. Sidenote: I printed some pictures to give them.

Cameron & Nana

The last stop on the Grandparents World Tour was your 1^st visit to Nana & Grandpa’s house (my parents). You slept most of the time while we went through old family photos and Grandpa decided to just give you my old room for future visits, further proving that I know longer live there.  I was more concerned with washing your clothes for free because the $1.25 to wash & dry at home certainly adds up. One final diaper change turned into; yep you guessed it, another photo shoot. Not my fault you’re a handsome little guy. (Actually it is). When people say “it takes a village”, you definitely have one. We’ll let you rest this weekend.  No pictures, no autographs,  Just warm milk & funny faces

Until Next time….
