Adventures with GramCin

*Special Announcement: The first of the three babies has arrived!  Morgan Rae Rooker was born Wednesday, September 12^th to proud parents, Erin and Jake!  Jeff and I went over to meet the newest arrival to our ever-expanding-friends-with-kids-group last night and fell in love.  She is so tiny and just as cute as can be.  Avery is looking forward to meeting her new friend very soon!  Jake and Erin are so happy and very calm.  Naturals, I tell ya!

Now, back to our regular programming...

Jeff’s mom, Cindy ("GramCin"), plays and learns with Avery every Wednesday.  "Play and learn" is a better term to describe their Wednesdays than “babysit” or “watch.”  They pack their special days with library time, art class, play dates and one of Avery's favorite activities, hanging out with Wayne.  Yup, she calls Jeff's dad "Wayne."  This will hopefully morph into "Grandpa Wayne," but for now it's "Wayne," and it gets funnier each time she says it.

Cindy recently got an iPhone, so we've been enjoying her texts on Wednesdays sharing what she and Avery have been up to.  Here are a sampling of picture texts with Cindy's captions:

Play date with Quinn.  Sharing cheese fish crackers.  (All the parents were in Vegas at a play date of their own!)

As you can see, Cindy and Wayne always show Avery a good time.  Fun, educational and adventurous.  Perfect combination for this group!  Avery is as lucky to have Cindy and Wayne as grandparents as we are to have them as parents.
