A Visit from Grandmother and Grandfather Muhlestein

When Nicholas gets fussy and only wants to be held, I tell him he needs one of his grandmothers! Well, his Grandmother Muhlestein came to Texas to visit and Nicholas was in seventh heaven. For three days, he had three people (Joseph, me, and Grandmother Muhlestein) to tend to his every fancy. He had three different people to rub his gums, help him stand, and give him smiles.

I was a little worried about Mother and Father Muhlestein visiting, because Nicholas has been developing stranger anxiety. While we were in San Antonio, he didn't want to be held by anyone except Mom or Dad. He was happy to smile at other people as long as he was being held by one of his parents. When we picked up Mother Muhlestein on Wednesday night, Nicholas was tired and not in the mood to make a new friend. In the morning, however, he was completely won over and loved his Grandmother for the rest of her visit. We had a wonderful visit that included driving to Arkansas to visit Aunt Martha, watching basketball, and relaxing at home with Nicholas. When Grandfather Muhlestein came on Friday night, Nicholas was all smiles and instantly allowed him to hold him.

Here is a picture of us eating at The Keg on Friday night. While the name of the restaurant makes it sound unappetizing, we had a remarkable meal. (The best meal I have probably had since Indonesia!!!) The top sirloin I had was FABULOUS!

Grandparents are the best because they think your kid is as cute, wonderful, and talented as you do!!
