Goodness gracious! Generous grandparents generate gratitude.

 

Over the course of a single week during the hottest Seattle June on record, we received an exceptional amount of help from D’s grandparents and great-grandma.  Here’s a run down:

  • Monday – Pick up D from daycare and put him to bed while Jack and I go to baseball and sailing, respectively.
  • Thursday – Help us beat the urban heat by babysitting at their much cooler home, complete with a barbecue lunch and a kiddie pool, while I work remotely. 
  • Friday – Ride transit in to the sweltering city to pick up D and drive him back to the ‘burbs for another fun day or grass and playing in the water. 
  • Saturday – Visit D while I  do some chores.  Gallantly leave with our cat  in tow for the week, to save her from the potentially dangerous heat wave while we are to be away camping.
  • Saturday – Have D over for a sleepover while we go on a date. 
  • Sunday - Pack a lunch for D and give us a check for house building.  Lend us camping gear.
  • Sunday – Give us money for an elevator in our futurehouse.
  • Sunday – Give us dinner on the trip home.

We’re unbelievably fortunate.
