Grammy and KD come for a visit

Monday after rests, Grammy and KD came for a visit. The boys were so excited to see them! We had a wonderful visit and filled the two days they were here with lots of fun!

Monday night, after a delicious dinner that Lynne brought with her, all 6 of us watched the premiere of Dancing with the Stars. It was a star-studded show that did not disappoint!

Tuesday, Lynne went with me to drop off the boys at preschool. Jackson loved showing her around.

 

After the boys were situated, Jack and Wesley went to work on Elizabeth's nursery. They started making a beautiful drawer to fit under her crib. Lynne and I headed to the outlets where Elizabeth and I both got a few new things for her upcoming shower at church. We all met up for lunch at Firehouse Subs for the first celebration of Wesley's 33 birthday!

After lunch, Lynne and I picked up Jackson and Philip and ran a few more errands. It was so nice to have her help. She watched the boys as I ran into three places to return things. It would have taken me an hour to do with the boys what I was able to do in 20 minutes with her help!

After the errands, Grammy took the boys to Humpus Bumpus, a local used bookstore. Philip had been wanting to go and I suggested he ask Grammy to take him. Funny thing was, Grammy had thought of this plan as well! It was a win-win for all!

That evening, we headed to the Avenues to Mellow Mushroom to celebrate Wesley! It was such a treat to have his parents with us on his actual birthday. 

Jack and Jackson worked intently on a crossword puzzle.

Can you guess who was out in the garage with Wes and Jack all afternoon helping with the building project? He picked up a carpentry skill - pencil (or in his case, crayon) behind the ear!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Yummy birthday treat!

Philip and KD
This was Philip's happy time. Right after dinner, we walked around the Avenues and in our first stop, Philip walked into a glass shelf! OUCH!

What life's really like! 

Before KD left, Philip had to hear the ketchup story! 

And he LOVED it!
I actually overheard him telling Jackson the story a few days later. He did pretty good until he changed the point of the story from "No more Ketchup" to "No more jumping on the bed" Guess he hears the later more often!
