A Visit from the North

Grandpa Tim and Grandma Mary came for a week long visit this month. The girls were ecstatic to have them at our house for so long.

As always, there was lots of book reading (I'm pretty sure they read every book in the house, twice),

a fair bit of lounging and napping,

a carpet picnic with Pizza Hut pizza,

a lot of playing doctor with a new doctor kit Grandma brought,

and, of course, lots of snuggling and hugging.

Xandra cried halfway home after we dropped them at the airport. For nearly a week she announced at least once a day that she didn't want Grandma and Grandpa to go bye-bye. Thankfully, she's come to terms with the fact that we live in Maryland and they live in North Dakota (either that, or she's given up asking because it gets her nowhere). Now the questions about how long until we visit the grandparents (both sets) at their houses have begun. I'm glad our girls love their grandparents! We do too. And we especially love when they visit!
