Grandparents Galore!

On Sunday, Gus' parents came to watch Nikos so we could go see "The Dark Knight" and then get some dinner afterward. Nikos had a great time with his Yia-yia and Pappou!


Then, on Tuesday, Nikos and I drove up to spend the night at my parents' house, since Gus has been gone on a business trip all week. We had *just* arrived at the house and unloaded all our stuff when Nikos got to experience his very first earthquake! At 5.4, and centered not too far from my parents' house, it was a pretty good shaker. We all stood in the doorway and waited for it to stop, and Nikos wasn't the slightest bit bothered! He just wanted to play on the floor with Grandma!

That afternoon, we went for a walk down to the playground and the community pool. We had tried putting Nikos in the swing before, but this time he actually enjoyed it! Grandpa even let him try out the see-saw, and then he got his toes wet in the baby pool...





The next morning, Nikos decided to read for a little bit in bed before getting up...

Then we went for a REAL swim in the pool, and he actually had a pretty good time! He didn't like his float, though...

Then we hung around the house all afternoon, and Nikos and Grandpa goofed around until dinner time...


We got home at around 8 last night, safe and sound, and are now gearing up to go to Nikos' 9 month checkup! I can't wait to see how much he weighs! And Gus will be back around lunchtime, so it will be a good day for everyone! :)
