Grandma & Pop-pop's visit

Grandma and Pop-pop drove into Tulsa the Friday before last - in time for Graham's birthday on the 22nd of May. It took a couple of days for Graham to get over his "stranger anxiety", but once that was over with, he had a really good time with Grandma and Pop-pop!We all headed out to the Drillers baseball game on Saturday night. We didn't watch the entire game as Graham was getting sleepy and tired by about the 4th inning (the game started at 7:30pm). He did however take a little break during the innings to drink his milk!
On Monday, since Daddy was away for business, Grandma accompanied us to Graham's 1-year doctor's appointment. The wait was rather long...
Thankfully, Grandma kept Graham busy!
All went well during the check-up. Graham is now 29" tall and weighs 19 1/2 lbs. He had 3 more vaccinations - 2 on the left thigh and 1 on the right. He was NOT a happy camper!

Monday was also Pop-pop's 70th birthday!
For dinner, I made some chicken with homemade spaghetti and also a chocolate-walnut-bourbon pie for dessert. I also made some bourbon whip cream to go with it. YUMMY!

We put one of the pics of Graham and Pop-pop during the ball game into a frame. Bobby and I are still arguing about who took the picture, but I have to give Bobby credit for suggesting the idea. (I still believe that I actually took the pic :-)
Grandma and Pop-pop started on their drive back to NJ yesterday morning. I think Graham already misses them! And oh, I forgot to mention - hopefully they will be coming back to Tulsa! We had a terrible storm during their visit. We were fortunate not to be hit by any tornadoes that Tuesday night. All of us (Bobby excluded as he was away for business) were glued to the TV and we watched two storms roll by - one to our north and the other to the south. The latter was really close and definitely made everyone nervous! I had packed a bag for Graham and we were ready to go to the neighbors for shelter if needed! Phew!
