Happy Birthday to Elliot's paternal Grandma Carmen Dibble! I love this lady! I loved her the first time I met her! It might be because I knew she loved me right away too! Grandma Dibble is so funny. She is so old fashioned when it comes to the men and women roles in the home. Elliot has always been really good about cleaning up after himself and will even clear the whole table and do the dishes on occasion (more when we were first married, but he's still really good). When he tried to do his own dishes at Grandma's house during a visit, she told him to sit down and let her do it or let ME do it! WHAT?! He was insistent upon doing his own dishes until Grandma just told him he was doing it wrong and to sit down!
She also taught me how to make liver and onions from the poor "critters" they just slaughtered.
Last time we went to visit Grandma in Layton, Utah was when I was pregnant with Stella. Grandma gave me several bits of advice, but the one I loved was that I absolutely MUST sing to my children. Grandma was just singing her little heart out with all of the songs she could remember singing to her kids. Don't worry Grandma, that little Stella made me find my voice and now I sing my little heart out too! Happy Birthday Grandma!
