The Changing of the Guard

Having my mom here has been a total blast.  Not only is she an amazing person and fantastic mom to me, but she is an expert grandma to Isla.  They've been two peas in a pod for the past week and it's been fantastic to see them having so much fun together.  She has been a huge help to us and the ultimate playmate for Isla.  It's true what they say: there is nothing like a Grandma's love.  They take it to a whole new level.

While I am so sad to see her leave, it's not so bad since I'll be seeing her in a couple weeks when Isla and I go home for a quick visit during Scott's next work rotation.  In the meantime, no sooner will the door be shutting behind my mom when Scott's mom arrives.  She flies in later this afternoon and we're looking forward to having her with us as well.  Isla's getting lots of Grandma time down here!

Here's a few pics of what we have been up to the past week.  As you can see, there's been lots of time at the beach with our new friends.  Playdates are a-plenty down here in Georgetown and it's been wonderful.
