Grandparents

This post is long overdue. Still trying to play catch up with recent events. I need to get these kids on the same napping schedule so I can have some time to get these things done.

Over the past couple of months we have had many of the grandparents come visit us. We are so thankful that they are willing to come see us too. Traveling with kids is never an easy task!

I can't remember if it was my dad or Papa and Gramielle that came to visit first but either way their visit was very special. Ava just soaks up every bit of attention she gets from them.

Ava loves to help me in the kitchen so we made some banana bread for Papa and Gramielle.

Notice my new labeled containers for the pantry. I went a little label crazy in our house recently. They make me happy. :)

(I printed mine off of Better Homes and Gardens site if you are interested. Super easy. Just print on a full sheet label and cut out)

 

 

Connor getting some Papa tickles

P & G let Ava pick out anything she wanted from Target and she chose, very thoughtfully I might add, this princess makeup set. Probably should have told her that the lipgloss is not eyeshadow.

 

My shining beauty



 

Gramielle got made over as well



Somehow my picture got deleted but she was very helpful in taking care of Papa's boo boos from bike riding. She wanted to make sure he always had a new band aid on.

 



Although a little small for grown ups her twin beds have been nice to have when people come and stay with us. She loves getting to sleep on an air bed in our room when company is over.

 



 

Yeah, she wouldnt sit in a normal fashion so this is what we got.

 



My dad came to visit us as well and while he was here Alli and Greg brought Granny Jeanne over to visit with all of us...and her puppy dog Ike. She is in an assisted living type place right now and so Alli and Greg graciously volunteered to take Ike to live with them. GJ missed her sweet boy and I could tell that he missed her too.

Papa Mike and Connor were good sports during our pretend birthday party.

 



And these are just some random pictures that I never posted...

 

Love how Connor is clinging to his daddy's arm.

 

I took Ava for some one on one time to a splash park near our house one evening.

 



C enjoying some tummy time on our bed. He is sooo close to crawling. I am NOT ready for that!



 

Stay tuned for posts from our trip to Abilene and Connor's Dedication!
