It's the Simple Things

Mamaw, Papaw, and Ethan came for a visit last weekend. It was mom and dad's anniversary weekend and we were flattered they chose to spend it with us. I love having company! Even though this was their anniversary weekend they didn't do much relaxing. Dad can't sit still for five minutes without needing and wanting something to do. So... mom watched the boys while me and dad went to work in the yard. I can't believe how much we got done in one day. It felt so good to get outside and work on the yard. I miss doing my yard work. It's been so hard to get out and get anything accomplished since I've had the boys. I really enjoy being outside, working, and seeing the finished product. Ethan was such a big help too. He loved loading the wheelbarrow, pushing it around, and then unloading it. We've got a couple more things to finish up and then I will post pictures of the finished product. Thanks mom and dad for helping us out.

Grant was pretty much Ethan's shadow all weekend. I think he misses his cousins. He knows how to say Ethan and Brianna now too. However, it sounds more like "Ian" and "Benna." Ethan and Grant played very hard on Saturday and they were both so worn out by the day's end.

Mom and Dad got ready to leave on Sunday and dad had an idea to make one of my flower beds into a sandbox for Grant. Well, three hours later Grant had a sandbox to play in. Can I just say how much he loves it? I love watching him play and just enjoy being a kid. Thanks papaw! You're the best!

Ben has been smiling now for about 3 weeks and this week he has started cooing. He loves it when I get close to him and talk to him. He just smiles and coos away. That big, gummy smile is the cutest!

We are planning on being in South Point the weekend of August 4th for my 10 year class reunion. I'll have to admit, I'm pretty nervous about it. I'm not sure why really, but I am. It will be nice to see everyone and meet their families. We're trying to work it out so we can stay and visit the whole next week. I hope it all pans out.

Me and the boys are going to the airport this afternoon to pick Chris up. We've missed him! Grant is so excited to see daddy and the airplanes. Maybe he'll get to see one land.

Have a great weekend everybody!
