Another Busy Week

Here is Jack and Anna excitedly looking out the window for their Papa and Nana's visit. My mom and dad don't live around here, so when they come visit they stay a couple of days and spoil the kids rotten. And maybe spoil their daughter and son in law just a tad too! Not only do I get to sleep in when they come down(other than getting up with Lily, who usually will go right back to sleep if laid back down) they also sent Erik and I out on a MUCH needed date night. Well I say date night, but really it was more like afternoon/ night, we were so excited to get out together that we left at 2 and didn't get home until after ten!

Jack loves to get rides on my dad's shoulders. My poor dad is basically Jack and Anna's toy the entire time he's down here. Since they're so close in age, you really can't do one thing without the other one. So if Jack rides on Papa's shoulders, Anna must also ride on Papa's shoulders. They also love this game called One, Two, Three, and then they get tossed in the air. Anna calls it, "One, oooo, Fwee."

This was taken at one of the only times Lily was put down all week! She's such a sweet and good natured little girl. We had really never left her, until this past week, and she did wonderful taking a bottle and being a little off schedule.

Anna was about to fall asleep on my dad's lap. We decided to lay her down for a little bit, but had planned on getting her up before my parents left. However, when we went upstairs to wake her up she was completely tuckered out and could not be awakened. When she got up she kept saying," Where's da Papa? Nana?"

Jack loves to have his picture taken with mommy. He loves to go through pictures of our family that doesn't live around here and give them hugs. My mom was showing him pictures of my brother, and Jack kept saying, "Hi, Uncle Justin!" and giving the camera hugs.

The rest of this weekend has just been spent relaxing. Last night we took the kids swimming, and after a little bit of coaxing, they started to enjoy themselves. We had a wonderful service at Church this morning, and then all of us came home and took naps. In fact, Lily and I are the only ones who are awake right now! Scratch that, I just looked over and Lily is now fast asleep next to me in our bed! Hope everyone's having a blessed weekend!
