Visiting Pops

On Friday, Courtney and Tizita were coming out to Watertown for lunch and an afternoon of play with Gigi. They were expected to arrive close to noon, but they were running ahead of schedule and surprised me by stopping in at school by 10:00. I was so excited to see Tizita and it was so nice to see her interacting with her old friends from last year. I think they miss her as much as she missses them. They are singing a song here and that is why they are looking so serious. This photo doesn't really capture the excitement they had in seeing Tizita again.
She spent Friday night with us. We had a pizza party and movie night. It was a good night.
On Saturday we went to the Care Center to visit Pops.

Pops had two Halloween presents for Tizita which made her very exciting. Here she is filling Pops' candy jars with candy corn and m&m's. She really interacted with Pops this time. I know Pops really enjoyed his visit with Tiz.

Tizita pushed Pops all by herself all the way to the recreation room where she needed somethings from the vending machines and wanted to see the Halloween decorations in there.

Here we are posing with Scooby Doo.

Hugging a mummy.

And finally, a picture with Frankenstein.

After our visit, we went over to John's folk's condo to continue our cleaning.

Here is Tiz sitting in the garage on Pops' chair. She found many, many treasures and had her boxes filled with them.

Courtney and Alissa were checking out Grandma's blue collection and choosing a few special pieces for themselves.

And, of course, Tizita had to climb up there and join them.

It was easier cleaning things out this time. The memories were happier ones and we had fun talking and laughing about them. We still have a long way to go in the cleaning process, but each time we go gets us a little bit closer to our goal.
