Some of the fun things we did while Nana and Papa were visiting us


Emily was quite pleased to have another person to use all her tea party dishes with!

Emily chased bunnies through the grass, chased chickens and little boys through the bird market, and on another day watched fishes, monkeys, lions, camels, and even reindeer at a very depressing zoo we came across.


Scott and Dad fix electrical issues, sink caulking issues, toilet leaking issues, gaping holes in kitchen window issues, circuit breaker issues and on and on. Thanks Dad for all the fix-it help!! Home sweet home is running much more smoothly.... without running all over the floor. :)

Playing at an indoor playground while mommy shares with the other mommies about why Nana and Papa came to celebrate such an important holiday with us.

Grocery shopping...

A Fun Christmas Surprise....






My mom surprised me by bringing me this Irish Chain quilt that was a 3 generation project. I didn't know it was finished until she showed up here with it! 6 years ago I finished all the quilt squares by hand. But once Emily was born, the quilt squares never got put together... so my mom took them and put them together. Then my mom passed it to her mom, who did the quilting! I'm so excited to have it finished... and it is so beautiful! I can't believe how gigantic it is... and that is was all done by hand. Thanks to mom and Grandma!! We love it!!

Snowman Fridge



Nana brought these cool magnets from America to turn our fridge into a snowman. Emily really liked this idea!

making more friends



We're not sure if this is a boy or girl friend. Their pants say "perm papa", but that still doesn't clear things up.
