This was a very special visit because it was Esme's first post-womb visit to my home state. We saw a lot of people and did a lot of things but I tried hard not to make it too manic- I wanted people to enjoy their limited time with our special little girl!
If you go through the first few bits of this blog wonder where Grandma Julie is, know that we weren't able to see Grandma Julie for the first few days because she was on antibiotics and needed to be completely healthy so she wouldn't infect Ez. She was sad about this but wanted the best for Ez. Boy was she chomping at the bit by Sunday (the end of day three of her antibiotics)!
Here is a brief summary of our visit...
Meeting Grandpa John, Grandma Gale and Aunt Peggy for the first time
We stopped by the day after arrival for a quick visit. We were surprised to catch Auntie Peggy as she was leaving so she got to meet little Ez too!
Grandma and Grandpa were smitten with Ez (as expected). We hung out for an hour or two and returned the next say for an immediate family BBQ (more on that later).

Meeting Aunt Peggy (cheeky little girl!)
Ez though My Dad and Gale's dog, Cadence, was a riot! She was laughing at Cadence and their other dog Daisy-too funny!
Here is a video of her reaction to Cadence and Daisy
Next stop was Great Grandpa Wil and Great Grandma Mardine's house! GG Wil had met Ez before but GG Mardine hadn't! She was extremely excited and thought Esme was a doll. Ez also met her first cousin, once removed "TJ," his fiance Jenice and Jenice's son Joey.
Here is a pic of GG Mardine, Joey and Ez
That night, we had a BBQ over at Dave and Vicki's. They were really excited to meet their first female granddaughter (they have three grandsons) and Ez got to meet Aunt Heidi, Uncle Robbie and cousins Zachary, Ashton and Logan! Ez even went for a cruise on a golf cart, played and with Bugsy the Rottweiler.
Ez loves dogs of all sizes. Bugsy is a complete lover and I am more comfortable with him around Ez than I was with my dad's three pound Yorkie. Bugsy loves all of his babies and watches over them like a hawk. Here are some of my fav pics of Esme and Bugs.

The next morning we had breakfast with God Mama Tiff and Cassie in Seattle. It was a brilliant breakfast at a lovely place with fab food called Roxy's in Fremont. Tiff couldn't wait to get her hands on little Miss Esme.
Tiff gave Esme a spoon to play with for the first time and now it is a necessity at restaurants! She loves shiny things.
Sunday afternoon we had a BBQ at Grandpa John's and Grandma Gale's. At this BBQ Ez got to meet Aunt Rosa, Aunt Christine and Uncle Matt and Cousin Chloe.
It was fun to see Ez and Chloe try to interact and what a big difference three months makes!
Ez had a blast playing in the paddling pool too!
She even tried to stand up for the first time when she was in it!

The size difference between the girls is incredible! Chloe is a tall girl but long and lean like her mama.
