The one with Grandma Mary.

We went to visit Grandma tonight in midway. She's so cute. And also. Losing her memory. We called her to tell her we were coming and described to her who we were as well as we could, "it's Jose, I'm Amanda's husband, Amanda is Danny's daughter" but she still couldn't place us. 

She repeats herself a lot now, but she is very amused by it herself and she's funny. I wrote things down so I wouldn't forget. These are grandma b-isms. 

Talking to Luca, "I'm your mommy's mommy, so I'm your grandson!"

Telling me she couldn't remember a phone number she just wrote down, "because honey, I'm stupid" (she said this so matter of factly, it was hilarious and she laughed a lot too. 

My shirt got pushed up when I was looking at some pictures, "you better pull your britches up"

"Do you guys play the piano???? (Incredibly shocked and interested of we could--we play for her everytime we are there) 

"Are you guys going to move back here anytime soon? (We have never lived there)

Pointing at a picture of kenz and Tony's wedding announcement and exclaiming that she was the daughter of some random lady in another picture on the table. I didn't have the heart to correct that one. Sorry kenz. Sometimes you gotta let things slide. (There was a note next to your picture for herself too reminding her of who "McKinsey Martin" was, feel special--however. There are notes about Sara and I too sooooo....)

I love her. She's a cute old lady. And she just wants to be so independent. Which is awesome, until it's not because she needs help but refuses it. We need to get down here more often. 

She has notes like this all over the house, just reminding herself who people are. 

She loved loved loved Luca. She held him almost the entire time we were there. Just laughing and talking to him, and telling us how smart he was. I will take that credit thank you very much.  

She was highly amused, as most people, including us still, at all the noises he can make. 

She walked me around her house for a tour, as if I had never been there before, and went through her closet to give me the clothes she didn't want anymore. Thanks grandma. Haha. Actually she gave me a plain navy sweater, that I will wear around the house probably. And a tank top. She said someone gave it to her, I'd like to know who thought that was a good idea, she had no idea what it was, "I think it goes with pants?" 

We went to the ice castles before we went to see her too, but my phone killed all my pictures. SHOCKING I know. I'll do another post for those with the camera pictures at home.
