Dad and Mom were here for a whole week!! What a pleasure that was!!
They were on a three week trip, celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, and spent some time at a music convention in Kentucky, stopped at the Creation Musuem, and other places - making their way up to Ontario for some time with us. That was very special.
We went to St. Jacobs the day after they came. It was raining a bit that day, but we managed to see the petting zoo quickly.
Stopped in at the Lego Store to let the kids play for a bit.
(okay, Grandpa did too - he babysat while mom and I walked around the small mall)
Daddy reading Katelyn Bible Stories almost every night. She loved it.
Dad and Mom spent so much time helping us fix things around the house, that just haven't got dealt with yet, like fixing/attaching the doorbell...
...knocking off a brick shelf that was positively annoying... :)
...putting blinds up..
...and Dad changed over all our cream switches/outlets to white ones - a special house-warming gift they said. :) That was a lot of work which we wouldn't have got to for a long time.
The little man after the evening church service.
Grandma coloring with Katelyn - just like she used to do with me.
Erik joining in the fun.
Mom brought a special bubble blower for the bathtub for Katelyn to try out.
The night before they left, they took us out to dinner - a special treat- a Chinese buffet. Such a treasure to enjoy being with your parents.
The happy couple. :)
All of us. Then they took us to Home Depot, where they got us a new light for our bathroom upstairs! (and dad even managed to install it before they left the next day, among other things he accomplished)
Erik and his favorite toy in the world.
More Bible Stories - Daddy is so good at telling stories. I loved it when he told us different stories growing up.
Yup, that's me right now.
34 weeks at that shot - and please realize that there is a shadow behind me... :)
Me and my big boy.
In the morning before they left, we went to the park for one last time of playing.
My children have such great grandparents.
Daddy and me...
Momma and me
A quick shot...
Sibling love - well, most of the time.
Then it was time to say goodbye.
It was sad.
Lots of tears.
And they left.
It was a special time with them here...always have to treasure each moment from God.
you got some cool shots ... like the one of your dad and Eric in that whole thing ... and the one of your parents with the kids ... beautiful memories ... where are the curtains and what does the light look like? and of course we saw the shadow ... you are beautiful ... and so glad you're keeping up your blog:) love ya.
ReplyDeleteOh, Liz....I just loved this. And I started crying about halfway through....I love that you had all that time with them and made more special memories. You captured some beautiful moments. And I can't wait to meet the newest little one, someday.
