A visit to Richmond after Christmas 2011 Part 2

Dear Hayden,
Grandma writes this as she watches snow falling pretty heavily. As you will know soon enough, Grandma is not a big fan of snow or any form of winter precipitation.
I spent the morning doing my usual Sunday mega cooking for the week. As I was cooking, I was trying to figure out how a recipe could be adapted for your food allergies. I think you would enjoy the flat iron steak and two different versions of pork tenderloin but the chicken salad and breakfast pizza would have been major problems.
The big news for this week is that you are now walking and Grandma was blessed to be able to see you walking via the computer! I had such tears of joy watching you walk with a huge grin on your face! Your Momma and Daddy made this all possible and I cannot tell them thank you enough.
My original intent was to do this post as one but for some reason, the computer has decided not to upload any other pictures.
You and Momma came to Richmond after Christmas and we were able to go to the Children's Museum of Richmond (CMOR). Your Momma went to the Museum when she was younger and neither of us could believe how much bigger (and better!) it has become. Grandma had heard wonderful tales of CMOR from the twins and Katie and was excited to have the opportunity to take you there. As you can tell from the pictures, you had a great time.

You were all smiles at the "James River, City of Richmond" exhibit even though there was no water in the river on the day that we visited.

You were intrigued by the abacus and the apple picker.

You and Momma enjoyed riding the Egyptian style horse and you were wondering why it didn't move.

Another ride on a dinosaur (other dinosaur rides will be Part 1).

Grandma has no idea how this post will turn out as there have been more than the usual frustrations with using the blogger site-Grandma has much to learn about the new computer. But it is all good because Grandma is able to visit with you via the computer.

Love always pumpkin!

Grandma
