Gramma's Here!

After much anticipation, Gramma's summer visit has arrived!  She is touring Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia, visiting with her children and grandchildren.  We are so glad she has landed at our home for the week!  We have been practicing with Elliott and Isaac to say "Gramma" and talking about the visit for so long, I think the boys were in shock to see her actually standing in our kitchen when they awoke from their naps on Saturday!  After a brief period of becoming reacquainted, they welcomed Gramma into their world to play! 

And play and play, they did! 

First, they played in the playroom...

Then they read books at the kitchen table...

And last, back to the playroom to work on their fine motor skills...

The weather was pleasant on Sunday, so we took the fun outside!  Elliott and Isaac had a blast playing on their new climber that they had only been able to admire from inside the house!  Before getting the hang of the actual climbing side, they were resourceful and chose to climb up the blue slide and then slide down the green one! 



Elliott slides, Isaac climbs!

Isaac slides, Elliott climbs!

LOVE these sweet faces so much!

Bob captured the climbing fun on video!  Here are a few fun moments...



The following pictures are the adorable way we began our week... On Monday, Elliott and Isaac wore their Thomas the Train shirts for the first time.  I'm not a huge fan of character-adorned clothing, but I couldn't resist these shirts because I knew the boys would love them.  They so enjoy their Thomas books and were so excited to see these shirts!  They said and signed "train" and pointed at the picture all morning. Just another instance of finding the joy in small things through the eyes of our precious boys!

Lots more fun with Gramma to come this week!
