FUN WITH THE CHAZEN'S

Tuesday, January 03, 2012

Judy called and told me to drive to Niki’s. Judy was picking up dinner and taking it to her and the kids. She ended up going to Oliver Garden at The District. I had lasagna.
I of course played with the kids. They, especially Gavin demand a lot of my attention.
At one point I jokingly said, “I had better watch what I say (and do), Gavin imitates everything that comes out of my mouth; (and my actions.)” Both Niki and Judy answered with an emphatic “YES”.
Gavie will often call me Gavie and call himself Grandpa.
After all this time he is still singing the song I made up the last time I took him to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point; “Gavie and Grandpa are monkeys up in a tree, eating potato chips.”
When Niki went to the doctor, they discovered that some of the muscles haven’t knitted back together from after her C-Section and she should just sit around for the next six weeks; (Fat chance) she was even struggling carrying baby Gracie (Grazi as I have chosen to call her.)
I had gotten to their house first and when they arrived from Grannie’s house I had to help her by carrying Grazi in from the car.
Grazi (Gracie) sure is a good baby and Niki says she can sleep through anything. Niki was trying to hush the kids up but they kept running and screaming and Gracie slept right through it.
Niki spent much of the day at her mother-in-law Grannie Lynn Chazen’s house but tonight was Erik’s night to go to see the Jazz play and he and Dave (Grandpa Chazen) and Greg and I think Michael went. At that point Niki and the kids went home.

Niki couldn’t ask for better in-laws than Dave and Lynn.
