"I Miss My Grandma"

Addison and Grandma Cherie at Froggy Field Day.

Addison misses her grandma! She started randomly mentioning it about a month ago. "I miss my Grandma" here and "I miss my Grandma there". It started to get more and more frequent a couple of weeks ago. Peyton and I were scheduled to fly down to Utah the first weekend in February for my niece's baptism and Joe and Addison were to stay behind in Seattle.

One Saturday afternoon she must have said "I miss my Grandma" about four times. So later that afternoon I checked flight prices on Peyton and my flight. And then thought I'd talk to Joe about it later. I got busy that night and forgot to mention it to Joe. The next day he and Addison stayed home from church because she had a cold. When Peyton and I got home from church Joe told me that again 3-4 times she had mentioned how she missed her Grandma. And we both knew there was no way that Peyton and I could hop on a plane to see Grandma and not take Addison. So I bought her a ticket!!

She continues to say that she missed Grandma and two times last week I found her in tears over it. One time in her room because she saw a Pez dispenser that evidently my mom gave her and the second time at school drop off when she was mad at me. She started sobbing just as the lady was getting her out of the car, "I miss my Grandma". She lady asked where her Grandma was. Still sobbing, "In Utah".

We'll see you soon Grandma!!

THE RULES--8/10 points yesterday

(I chose sweets and unhealthy snacks as my two pointer. Obviously "that's a tricky one" as Peyton would say. The secretary in our Primary Presidency brought these delicious little key lime tarts (and I love key lime tarts). But here's to a better day tomorrow.)
