<\/a><\/p>\nWhen we arrived, my mom and Richard met us at the station. Richard had flowers for me and when we got to her house, my mom made a delicious dinner and brought out a pineapple upside down cake– the cake she has always made me for my birthday. It was all delicious. She also had presents for me– an infinity scarf she crocheted for me herself,\u00a0some LUSH hand putty, and a beautiful change purse and bracelet from their trip to Vietnam.<\/p>\n The next day was my mom’s 60th birthday. We went blueberry picking! Jonas loved the fresh blueberries and kept saying “BLUE!” the rest of the trip when he wanted some.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The man at the blueberry farm took this picture for us. Jonas wasn’t looking at the camera, but I didn’t want to ask him to take another one, because he didn’t seem too happy to be doing it. Maybe because there was a sign saying not to eat the blueberries without paying for them and Jonas’s face was covered in them, haha.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n My aunts surprised my mom by driving down from New York the next day, in time for the party\u00a0we threw for her on August 2. The party was great– a potluck with so much great food and great people.<\/p>\n Mommy in her birthday crown looking at the memory book I made for her.<\/p><\/div>\n Jonas loves Bubby. She got him a Batman shirt and they were Batman and Robin!<\/p>\n On August 4th, Jonas took three steps!!!! He was standing at the coffee table, let go, took a step toward Bubby, then paused. He looked at me, changed direction, and took two steps toward me!<\/p>\n That evening, Jared and Wes drove down from Baltimore. Jer, Wes, Amelia (my step sister, in from Ireland, who I hadn’t seen in 8 years before this trip!!!), Mommy, Richard, Jonas, and I had a yummy tempeh stir fry dinner and the grown ups enjoyed wine and lavender mojitos.<\/p>\n Reunited and sleepy<\/p><\/div>\n Jonas missed Jared before he got there. One night in his sleep, he was saying, “Dadada.” He was playing with one of Bubby’s old cell phones and I asked who he was talking to and he said, “Dada.”<\/p>\n Bubby got Jonas a cool pool to play in and he loved crawling in…<\/p>\n and out…<\/p>\n over and over.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>He had a lot of fun playing with Grandpa, too.<\/p>\n<\/a>In that picture, the living room looks deceivingly organized. Don’t be surprised! Jonas took Bubby’s clean house and moved EVERYTHING onto the floor to play with!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
