Our Visitors

Time went by too fast while Grandma and Grandpa were here. We enjoyed just having a relaxing visit and staying close to home with lots of playing time...well we did go out quite a bit...to eat! :) What a great time the kids had having two extra people to play, cuddle, read...everything! And what a treat for Brad and I to get a break (even a coffee date!) from the kids and cooking and cleaning! We were all spoiled, loved every minute and are so very thankful they came to visit. Miss you already Grandma and Grandpa!

Our Sunday. Grandma and Grandpa amazingly survived our not-your-typical-Lutheran church without heart meds and then treated us to The Cheesecake Factory. After our afternoon coffee date we enjoyed roasting some marshmallows! Brad went to roast Makin's and instead of waiting he just went and grabbed one out of the bag. Who needs roasted? :)


I am always amazed at how happy and content our kids are when playing with grandparents. They have some kind of magical powers I think. :) What a blessing and how special they all are!



And our final night we met Brad on his way home at On The Boarder. So much fun! Makin even used the tortilla for his favorite peek-a-boo, and I finally remembered to get a three generations picture of the boys!

My new favorite Lorelei quote...Makin has started going "bbbbb" for "Brrr" and was saying that as we got into the car (yes it is cold now!) and Lorelei said, "It brrrrry outside isn't it May?" Pretty sure "brrry outside" is going to be my new favorite saying. :)

And just one from today that is also post-able....Brad was threatening to give away Lorelei's toys if she didn't clean up and said "Then I'll just take them to Goodwill." And Lorelei replied, "To Little Bill?" :)

We are very glad (although also very sad) that we will see Grandma and Grandpa soon when the come back in January for Makin's surgery. Won't be so much fun for us, but Lorelei will be well taken care of. :) Thanks for a great visit!
