Mamani visits SD

Marc's mom came out to visit last week -Mamani is the closest translation to "grandmother" in Farsi and that is what Caiden calls her. We always get so much done when she comes out. Grace had a doctor appointment, I went to the eye doctor and dentist. We went up to Orange County to visit family and we had some friends over to enjoy her delish food!

Caiden also got a much needed hair cut. He did so good during the cut. We turned on an episode of Mickey Mouse and it kept him occupied. There were a few times when the hair fell on his legs and arms and he got freaked out but we quickly brushed it off. She probably cut 2 inches off the back and added a bunch of layers to thin it out. Just wait until you see the photo at the end.

Fery took Caiden to the park every morning and Marc had Monday off so they both took him to his soccer class and then to the park. He's getting so brave and will climb on and up anything.

Caiden is obsessed with putting money in his piggy bank. He got into Fery's purse one night and pulled out a handful of 20's and got so excited. He immediately stood up and looked at us with wide eyes and said, "I've got to put these monies in my piggy bank" and ran to his room. We laughed so hard. We kept telling him, you can't take all of Mamani's money and he would say, "It's my monies. Put it in my piggy bank!"

Here are a bunch of other pictures that were taken over the week.

Fery left this morning and I'm so sad. It gets harder and harder to adjust back to normal life when I have a helping hand all day. Even the little things like going out and running errands by myself is heaven. Or just taking a shower without Caiden barging in or Grace crying is like a spa retreat. Back to reality we go.
