Wishing For a Stowaway

If a person (or three people) travel from the South to the North why can't they bring the warm climate with them in a giant SUV? It would only be fair that if the said people are traveling such a long distance to bring sunshine to the faces of their family that ACTUAL sunshine and a warm salty breeze should stowaway in the luggage bags.

Looks like we'll just have to wait for spring.

GiGi and Poppy (Jon's mom & dad) have made their way North with Pap (Jon's grandfather) to spend a week visiting family and friends. Shawn could hardly wait to see Poppy, for he knew that with Poppy comes some major entertainment! And to entertain Shawn... a Little People Construction Site for Valentine's Day... this 2 year old boy's dream! What a fun activity for Grandfather & Grandson. (Landon's entertainment was in the form of baby bongo drums... such fun!)

Today Jon's brother and future sister in law, Cody & Lynda, came up for the day. It was beautiful having all of Jon's family here together. Uncle Cody & Aunt Lynda were missed terribly! We all met my grandparents and sister for lunch this afternoon. Seeing everyone together laughing and having a good time was a wonderful thing for the boys to experience. We have come such a long way ;)

Jon, the boys, and I have a weeks worth of quality time to look forward to. You can be sure there will be tons of great pictures on upcoming blogs. This MaMa needs to preserve these memories for the boys since their grandparents live so far away and can only visit a few times a year. Cody & Lynda will be up again next weekend for a longer visit (something we are seriously looking forward to!)

The beginning of a great week to come :)


This watch looks yummy GiGi!

Time with my Grandma.

Uncle Cody is another great source of entertainment.

Not quite sure what a "saw" is yet... but this "saxophone" is pretty cool ;)

Poppy & Landon

Random pics from today.

Pull up a stool GiGi and watch the master at work.

Poppy & The Grands

The boys (all 3 of them) really enjoy each others company.

"How many hairs can I grab off of this? And how many toes off of this?"

Snuggle Session 101

Aunt Lizzy, Uncle John, & Delilah came by for a visit so GiGi could meet our little "niece." Landon couldn't stop kissing his baby princess. Then he'd smack his lips together as if to say "She's pretty yummy." Again, I must say they are sickening sweet ;)

Muah!

Get those piggy toes, Landon.

Picture Picture.
SIL in the making.

Taking it all in.

GiGi's hair is pretty fun to play with (and yank on!)

Uncle Cody sure is getting comfy holding this little bouncing baby boy ;)

Delilah's turn for some face pokin'.
