Visit from Grandma Linda

Nora enjoyed a visit from her Grandma Linda this weekend! Grandma arrived last Wednesday evening. We all enjoyed a few great days and nights together before I skipped town and left Nora with Grandma and Dad. I went out to Seattle to visit my good friend Briony. While there I got to see a Kenny Chesney concert that also included Lady Antebellum, Montgomery Gentry, Miranda Lambert and Sugarland. We also did the Seattle touristy stuff -- the Space Needle, Pike's Market and Mt. Rainier. Back home, Grandma, Jarrod and Nora went to the zoo, the mall and the park. Jarrod and Linda enjoyed some Mother-Son bonding time over wine and good food. At the zoo, Nora said "Duck" as daddy pointed to them and said "Quack, Quack." I may have forgotten to post on here that Nora says a few random words such as "Dada" (her first), "Mama", and "ball". Grandma Linda will likely be sending lots of great pics from her camera, but we've got a few to get ya started. Hope you're all enjoying your summer. I can't believe our baby is almost one!
