Pass Inspection

Like a whirlwind, the grandparents came and left bearing with them lots of "ubong" and love for Isa. I wasn't there to witness it but I think Isa broke their hearts at first by screaming her head off whenever they tried to hug and kiss her that first night. I came home from work to find them fretting over how she would not stop crying.
By the second day, she had them completely wrapped around her little finger. She was no longer fussy and allowed the grandparents to hold and kiss her as much as they pleased.

I did see that there was some bargaining involved. $100 a kiss was the going rate. I could see my mom was so happy when Isa had finally remembered her. They were so enamored by her that there were talks of stowing her away in the "cooler" so that they could take her home with them. The running joke all weekend was that their bags had to be checked and pass inspection before they left. I told Erick he better hold on tight to her.
That will be $100 please!

The whole weekend came and went so quickly. We went to mass at Mary Queen of the Universe for Palm Sunday then lunch at the Celebration diner after walking around the farmer's market and art festival. When Erick came home from work, we went to dinner at Bahama Breeze which I think everyone enjoyed except by then we were all so tired. Napping at church in Lola's arms

Smile for the camera!

By morning they were packing up to leave despite our urging them to stay one more day. We didn't realize how much they wore us out until after we said our goodbyes. We hurried home and passed out.
Pooped!

I was so happy that they were able to make the trek down here to visit. I just wish that they weren't in a hurry to leave all the time. It will be nicer once we live closer to them so that they could see Isa more often (hint, hint....)
