Madeline calls Grandpa, "Baba." Technically, Baba Bazorg is the word for grandpa in Farsi, but she only has Baba down for now. Great Auntie has become "Grauntie" for short, and Maddie calls Grandma "Mama" with a different inflection than her word used for mommy.
Friday during the day, Grandpa and Maddie planted a vegetable and herb garden together. Maddie really enjoyed helping Grandpa dig in the dirt. Friday night Jackson relaxed with Madeline while the rest of us went and saw Quidam, one of the Cirque du Soleil shows. The dance and acrobatic choreography and live music were astounding!
Saturday morning we ate at Peg's Glorified Ham and Eggs for our Mother's Day celebration. It was so nice to have us three moms together for the special weekend! Saturday afternoon we went to the River Festival held in downtown Reno at the Truckee River. We watched kayakers compete in a slalom race. There was music, food and a kids area. Maddie played on the grass.
In the evening Jackson and I had a wonderful night out just the two of us. We ate dinner at the Atlantis Oyster Bar. We both got a pan roast, which is a decadent tomato bisque with muscles, scallops, lobster and shrimp! After dinner we met our friends at the comedy club. Thanks for the night out everyone!
Madeline had a wonderful time with all of her company! She is a very social little girl, and loves having lots of people especially family around her. We love all the extra help and the time spent with our loved ones too!
