Grandparents' and Uncle Joe's Visit

Your grandparents and Uncle Joe came over to Kuwait for 2 weeks (25/06/11-09/07/11) to finally meet their first grandchild and nephew. Me and daddy were so excited to see them as it had been nearly 6 months since we had seen our parents and we had missed them a lot. I was so excited for them all to meet you too, it must of been so hard for them hearing all our stories about you and seeing all the pictures we had sent but not to meet you until you were 4 weeks old. I had butterflies and couldn't sleep the night before with excitement!
Nana Sue, Grandpa and Uncle Joe arrived first on the Thursday night and were so happy to see you. You woke up just before they arrived which was great timing and they all had cuddles and caught up with me and daddy. Nanny Carol and Pops arrived the next night and me and daddy went to collect them from the airport whilst Nanna Sue and Grandpa enjoyed their first time babysitting you. Nanny Carol and Pops couldn't wait to hold you, and again you were awake when we got home, having a bottle. We all sat their enjoying the moment of us being all together with our beautiful new addition to the Burgess and Foy family.

The next two weeks consisted of meals out, a trip to the Aquarium, trips to the malls (Marina Mall, the Avenues and 360 Mall) and lots of time spent at home enjoying being with you. You were so good for all our trips and slept most of the time! I think we'll have to take you back to the Aquarium soon so you can see all the fish this time!

It was so lovely watching your grandparents with you. They looked so happy and so did you. I think you loved all the attention and missed it once they left. You grandparents started getting really upset during the last few days of their visit, thinking about leaving you here. They both wanted to take you back to Liverpool and Manchester!! But nobody is taking my boy!

Saying goodbye was so hard. We all couldn't stop crying, and we felt down for a couple of days after they had left. Your grandparents were really sad about leaving you and not being able to see you for a few months and me and daddy were both sad for the same reason, and also because we were going to miss them so much. I tried so hard holding it together at the airport saying goodbye but I broke down. I felt so sad for them, as I know how much you had grown in just those two weeks that they were here, by a few months time, you would be massive and that they will of missed so much. It was hard, and I imagine the next time will be too but we skype them all the time and send photos of you every few days, so although they are not here in presence, they will still see and hear all that you do and learn. They will still be with you growing up, every step of the way, even if thousands of miles away.
