So, the Rhodes came the weekend of my birthday, left the 24th, my parents came that night and stayed through the next Sat morning, then my wonderful in-laws paid us a visit and were able to stay Sat afternoon through Monday! Lots of company but oh how we loved it!
Grandpa picked out some new overalls for her and we had to go show them off! He has such good taste!
And Grammy enjoyed some loves in the mean time :)
Again, only a few pics were taken, but that doesn't' mean our time wasn't captivating!
Joe grew up with a relaxing family day tradition of going to the mall, walking around, people watching and just enjoying the time together...so thats what we did! Katey was getting to be a pro at running up and down the mall and even talked Nana into going on the Carousel with her!
Haha, she just thought she was the queen!
They also picked out some new books together and "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" has been a favorite in the house ever since!
Oh and at least one of Grandpa's hand puppets (lion, giraffe , hippo, and monkey) goes with us almost every where we go, and sometimes two of them. One for her and one for what ever friend we are going to see!
Its so great to be able to connect with family on multiple levels, not just enjoying the wonderful little people running around, but also really enjoying each other. I know a lot of people aren't as blessed in their in-laws but we truly are among the most blessed. This visit was just another one of many and I am very thankful for the love and wisdom they give so freely!
