Gram & Poppy come to visit



Gram and Poppy came to Arkansas Thursday just in time to put Claire to bed. Landon had already fallen asleep; he was so excited he wore himself out! Friday we had lunch with Claire at school, played sports outside and read books. That evening Gram and Poppy took the kiddos out to eat, and Geoff and I had a nice dinner out by ourselves! It was a nice treat, and everyone had lots of fun with their respective dinner-mates. Saturday morning everyone was up bright and early and the playing began instantly! Gram brought lots of good crafts to do. Painting, beading, stamping, jello jigglers, and alphabet stickers...just to name a few! Daddy made yummy ribs for all of us that evening, and although the kiddos didn't eat much, the adults indulged and enjoyed! Sunday morning we played some more, fed the birds and went out to lunch before embarking on a Ranger ride. Gram and Poppy experienced the thrill of going up our big "hill" (dirt pile). Then we said goodbye. Landon took a great nap Sunday afternoon, but Claire couldn't. She did, however, have a hard time getting up this morning! It was a fun time...thanks Gram and Poppy!

Serena, I'd love to come and see your kiddos, we'd have great fun, but I'll need a little time to recouperate first.
