I've posted a few pictures of our adventures with Jim and Jody the past few days but now I'm back to officially fill in the gaps. Ron's parents arrived in Pensacola early Friday morning and we immediately embarked on eating our way around the Gulf Coast, literally. We started out at the
Grand Marlin in Pensacola Beach, and enjoyed fantastic meal after fantastic meal in the few days they were here. Seafood was our main desire and we ate ourselves silly on fresh oysters, grouper,
mahi and
crawfish at our favorite local restaurants. I'm still recovering. We also, dare I say, "bar-hopped" Saturday night visiting the local dives in Mobile and surrounding areas that Jim had recently read about in
Garden and Gun Magazine, in an article entitled, "
Why Life is so Good on Mobile Bay." I encourage you all to click on the grey hyperlink above to read it and then all hurry down here for a visit! After visiting five bars we finally made it back to relieve the babysitter and we all felt a little more dare I say again, "cultured?"
I was thrilled beyond belief when Jody presented me with this amazing work of art that she has been slaving over for almost two years... Grant's Christmas stocking that she personally needlepointed and put together. Can you say, "Wowza!" To truely appreciate this and understand the amount of work that went into this masterpiece, you have to see it in person. Grant and I will enjoy pulling this keepsake out year after year to admire his Mimi's hardwork!
THANK YOU JODY! YOU ARE AMAZING!
Saturday afternoon we celebrated Grant's best buddy, Savannah's second birthday! Savannah invited all of her friends to the Little Gym for some gymnastics lessons, a lot of controlled chaos, and of course some cake! Savannah celebrated her big day in a
Daisy Faye Designs Tee made by my friend Kim.
If you recall, Grant loves Gymnastics. Ron took him to the Little Gym every Saturday last fall. As you can see in this
previous post, Grant has become a lot more brave since his early days as a "little bird!"

He loved it and was so brave!
Savannah was the star of the show in the center of the parachute as we all sang "Happy Birthday to You," while spinning her around and around.

Grant is completely fearless, he loves tackling all the tricks and challenges the teachers sent his way. He can now do a somersault flip on his on, videos to come!
Eating cake, I'm happy to report, he didn't get a single drop of that chocolate cupcake on his shirt. Every bit went in his mouth!
Inbetween birthdays, fabulous food and many outings there was also lots of down time to enjoy being with eachother and experiencing the everyday, not so normal life of Yaeger. We love and cherish the time spent with family. Afterall, that's what life is all about, the little things like Poppy teaching Grant the word, "Tractor" or Mimi finally teaching him how to drink out of a straw, halleluiah! Thank you so much for coming to see us, we love you!
These two have changed so much from this time last year, click on this link to see their visit to the fountain together a year ago. 
Grant is having a ball and looks just like Ron to me in this photo! Thanks Kimmy for the great pictures!
