Grandmama Visits

My Mom holds Emry for the first time.

I am a lucky Momma!

Phillips family time

With Eric's parents and Grandma here for the blessing the rest of the Phillips gang, Uncle Todd, Aunt Camille, and cousins Joci, Brin, and Amelia, came out to Hawaii for some fun in the sun. Eric took the week off to play along, while Emry and I stayed home to recover.

At the beach. Pyramid Rock Beach at the Kaneohe Marine Base.

At the bating cages.

At the bumper boats.

Took Papa out for a sunset on the beach birthday dinner.

Pearce made Papa a card. He drew Papa snorkeling with a shark and crabs.

Tutu, Pearce and Papa.

Emry's first short outing. She was only two weeks old. Naturally she slept the whole time.

Pearce, sad to see them go, tried to fit into a suitcase.

A month before the baby was due

We just got back from living in Vietnam for three months and I had less than two months to get ready to have baby. My Mom and Connor came for a quick visit to help.

Grandmama Piller, Connor and Pearce just before we jumped into the Volvo and sped off to the airport. I am wondering why this was the only picture we took for whole visit. Maybe because I was nine months prego.

After a full day of playing with Grandmama and Connor, Pearce passes out in seconds.

Took a picture of myself to prove I was still smiling at nine months!

It was fun to buy little pink onies with my Mom.

I had been so busy getting things ready for the baby, thinking she would be three weeks early like her brothers, unfortunately putting Pearce on a mini vacation from home school. But he still drew and wrote cards for family and friends birthdays.

For Papa Piller.

For Grandmama Piller.

For our neighbor.
