Yay! My parents (AKA Nana & Pappy) came to visit! I always love it when people come to visit, but when your parents live a ways away, its such a precious and amazing time to have them come, stay at your home, sit and talk on the couch, and, of course...show off their grand daughter!
She loved their truck and still talks about "Pappy's red 'big tuk'!"
Kisses all around!
Love her pucker!
(Pouty face..they had to leave :( )
But I have to admit that I've been slacking when it comes to getting the camera out for non-work related things, and therefore only have a few pics of our visit. But as I still want to remember all the amazing things we did and the great time we had, I'm just going to tell you about it!
If any of you have been around me for very long you would know that vacations are something that are VERY hard for me to wait for! It always seems that Joe & I set a destination time and proceed to leave at least a few hours...if not a day or so before it! But in my defense, this was taught to me! My parents, true to tradition, showed up not on Monday morning as they had said, but Sunday night, the night of my birthday, to surprise us! Well...I am my parents daughter...and expected them but was so thrilled to have them even for a few hours longer! They were able to stay almost a whole week and we had such a blast going to Powells book store, taking Katey to the mall to run on rainy days and watching her ride on the Carousel (a big one that she actually loved!), eating all of the meals that only my mommy can make, taking walks, picking out material for projects in Katey's room (yes I had a "daddy-do" list :) ) and just sitting around watching Katey play and enjoying each others company.
Katey took no time at all to re-attach to Nana & Pappy and even chose to wake up about an hour before her normal rise time every morning to play with Pappy...something he didn't mind in the least! When ever they visit I get to hand over the baby monitor and if Katey needs anything in the night, or when she's ready to get up...Nana & Pappy get to "have fun" :). I love it & they love it, how is this a bad plan!
Katey was very ready to share her love of singing with them and was very willing to teach them "river" (I"ve got a river of life) , Jesus loves me, Deep and Wide and many more as well as sharing her ENTIRE book collection (even though we mostly just read the first page).
Its so fun to share your life with people who you love and love you! Thanks for the visit Mom & Dad, can't wait to see you again in Jan!
