I have attemped to post pictures every night since she's been here. I haven't gotten around to it and we haven't been to bed before 11:00 this entire week--that's late for me. We are glad to have Grandma Bigelow (Sarah's GREAT Grandma) here with us for a week. Here's what we've been up to.
Most of our days have been spent like this. Grandma has been enjoying Sarah Jane and she loves her right back. They sit in the corner over by Sarah's toy basket and play, and play, and play. Richard and I are in for a rude awakening when Grandma leaves and we have to feed her and play with her again, but for the time being we love seeing both Sarah and Grandma so happy in one another's company. Sarah is a people person; if you love on her, she will love you back. This has been wonderful for Grandma and made her feel so special because Sarah has never shyed away. I hope Sarah never goes through the, I only want my mommy stage. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. 
We have also been going on many walks. Grandma can't get over how perfect the weather is. She thought she was going to come to California and cook; not in Santa Monica. Ah, the joys of an ocean breeze. She has really been enjoying all the flowers. Everything is in bloom and she can't get enough.
On Wednesday afternoon we went to the Getty Center and had a wonderful time. Grandma couldn't believe the size of a lot of the paintings and couldn't imagine how long they must have taken to create. She LOVED the garden.
Thursday we drove to LaMirada to see her older, by 1 year, brother Don and his wife Terri. SArah Jane and Terri matched and Terri thought that was pretty special. We had a nice visit. They hadn't seen each other in a long time and it was sweet to see how glad they were to be together, even if it was for just a short time. I was reminded about the importance of family!
Traffic wasn't too terrible, but she did get to experience a little LA traffic jam here and there. The trip wouldn't have been complete without that. :)We're off for a picnic with Richard at Stoner Park and then we will go walk around the temple grounds this afternoon.

Hi All! We are so glad you are having such a special time, Marge!!! Isn't Sarah the cutest little thing and so happy and bright all the time! I knew you would really enjoy being there with the kids! They are so easy to be with!! I wish we could have stayed a little longer, but we did get to spend the time with them when they were at Patty and Jeff's!
We will be anxious to hear all about your trip when you get home, Marge! Until then, give Sarah some extra hugs and kisses for us!!
