Well wishes and another crazy weekend!

Last week Grandma Genovese had knee replacement surgery. Little does Tyler know, but between both of his grandma's there are only 2 "real" knees. We decided that we would take a quick trip to New York on Saturday to surprise her and wish her well in person. On Saturday morning, Tyler made Grandma a really big picture to help her feel better soon. He was hard at work and kept his pens close at hand:

While Tyler was decorating his picture, Grandma Genovese called and asked me what we had planned for the weekend. I told her (sorry for the lie, Grandma!) that we didn't have much planned, that we were just going to hang out at home for the weekend and get caught up on things. Little did she know, but I was running around the house trying to pack and clean, and plan for our quick trip to New York. Less than five hours later, we walked into her room at the rehabilitation hospital and said "surprise". She was so happy to see us and even modeled her battle scars! Tyler spent the entire time using her walker to get around!
After we spent some time with her, we made our way to Long Island to stay with cousins Conor and Skylar for the night. As soon as we walked in, the kids ran off to play. At one point they went upstairs. Soon after, they all came down and this is what we were greeted with:

What a bunch of hams!
On Sunday, we had lunch with Grandma. She requested pizza and Tyler wanted to use walker again. Thankfully, that walker tired him right out and he slept the entire ride home! Feel better soon, Grandma!

That's sweet! What a fun surprise and so thoughtful of you guys, too!
Oh, boys...you're going to REALLY REGRET those pictures in a few years! That's blackmail material right there...but really funny stuff!

Ha! I laughed when I saw those last two pictures. I just didn't see that coming! :) How nice of you to make the trip to surprise Tyler's grandma. I'm sure it made her day! Cool sign, by the way. :)
