My Momma came to visit

Alexi's Grandma Lin and Grandpa Rob came to visit last weekend. Relaxing evenings were spent hanging on the deck watching the flowers grow in the backyard. G'ma Lin is a consummate style artist. She rearranged my deck seating to a much more esthetically pleasing arrangement. Just by moving the table away from the wall and toward the railing, the eye was guided to the much more pleasant view of the greenery of the backyard.

Gma keeps her self so busy these days. She and Rob have a band, The Crabshacks House Band. They are called that name because of her house, if you had ever seen it, you'd know why. See, momma collects crabs. She's been doing it for years. Their house is so full of crabs. Crab on the walls. Crab paintings. Crab castings. Crab backsplashes. Crab t-shirts. Crab cusions and pillows. even Crab beer openers. ....you name it, she has probably got it, in crabs.

Yet collecting a house full of crabs was not enough for her. No, she now plays the accordian for her Band. Gma is so busy playing the squeeze box. In fact, G-Mommy probably plays it all night long, ....and G-pa Robby never gets any sleep at night.

So, being so busy, getting and going to the gigs, these guys finally found some spare time to get out here and see Alexi.

Buisy as ever, Gma never stood still enough to be fully captured on film. Alexi would spot her occasionally, fleeting moments over his sholder.


and yep there she was....
...only her hand is captured here, giving the bug his ba-ba.

"Hey lookie what Grandma gave me!!"
"Why it is unique. .....Its a hedgehog! Wow, I've always wanted a Hedgehog"

Yes, now Alexi is even more special. He is like no other kid on the block. He has is very own stuffed Hedgehog. It is something he can cuddle and yet not get quills stuck in his face like a real hedge hog would.

Gma Lin and Gpa Rob. Ever unique. Ever talented. Hopefully we will see them again, soon.
