Here's a pictorial tour of their visit...

| On Thursday, after picking up Grandma and Papa from the airport, we had some play time. |
Thursday night, Russ had a dinner for work, so the rest of us stayed home and had enchiladas for dinner.

| Friday we ventured out to the local HEB to pick up some snacks and stuff for dinner. |
While we waited for dinner to cook, Garrett played with Papa & Grandma a little more...
 |
| ...and had some bananas for dinner. |
 | |
| Papa cooked us stuffed shells for dinner! They were delicious, even Garrett thought so. |
 |
| Garrett refused to go to bed at a reasonable hour that night, so he stayed up and played with Papa and Pup. |

Saturday we had to run to Russ's hospital to pick something up, so we took the opportunity to give Grandma a tour.

The collection of hats that are either retired when folks are finished
with chemo, or donated for chemo patients. Russ couldn't remember which. :: The bulletin board of oncology staff.
 |
| the San Antonio Military Medical Center chemo infusion room (about 1/4 of it) |
 |
| The bell that chemo patients get to ring when they are FINISHED with chemo! |
Russ's office

| Later that afternoon, Grandma and Garrett hung out a little bit more. |
Then we headed to Toys 'R' Us to return some things and get...
...a new high chair for Garrett! It's the kind that just straps to a regular kitchen chair (he tried Lucy's at her house and we loved it). He had to try it out with some Cherrios. One almost made it into his mouth.
Papa made Russ's favorite chicken that night with salad and mashed potatoes. Yum.
 |
| Papa and Garrett performed some after-dinner music. We followed that up with a lively game of Catch Phrase. |
:: Sunday, February 3, 2013 ::
Sunday was a very busy day! Papa and Grandma came with us to Sunday school. Then they went with Russ to the service while I had nursery duty. Garrett was a very good boy in nursery, he played for a while and then fell asleep in the swing. After church, we went out to lunch with our Sunday school class. Then Garrett and I had a three-hour nap! Sunday night, Russ and I finally got to go see Les Miserables. It was wonderful! Grandma and Papa babysat, and it sounds like the only child who gave them trouble was ... Bernoulli. He went after an opossum in the backyard and could not be coaxed back inside. I'm sure our neighbors love us!

Monday was a little more low-key. Grandma, Garrett and I went to the new Trader Joe's to look around. I was very impressed! I expected the prices to be really high, but they were quite reasonable. We came back with many goodies, but my favorite is something I've been craving for some time: chocolate-covered almonds! Monday evening our neighbors, Sally and Chris, came over for dinner and games. We had gumbo, salad, and "Chocolate Quad" made by Sally. We made it through a few rounds of Bananagrams before Garrett was through with us all, and we called it a night.
:: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 ::
Tuesday we slept late. Russ and Grandma went to see Mission San Jose in the afternoon. Tuesday evening we took some family photos and went to our favorite San Antonio restaurant - Dough. I kind of dreaded taking G to a restaurant, but he did pretty good!
 | |
| When things got dicey at the restaurant, we whipped out Big Bugs Band on Dad's phone. |
 |
| After dinner, Grandma and Garrett played a little bit more before he had to go to bed. |
:: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 ::
Wednesday morning Garrett, Grandma, and I went to get some breakfast tacos, which were moderately popular. Then we hung out for a while until time to take Grandma and Papa to the airport. :(
 |
| Grandma tells Garrett goodbye, and to be good for his parents. |
 |
| Sad to see them go. |
