Grandma and Poppy

It was so nice to have my parents come up for a visit. It blesses us that they are willing to drive several hours every couple of months or so, just to make sure that they have a presence in our children's lives.

First stop: McWane Center. Emily enjoyed my parents interacting with her at the places she loves to go.

Dad and Emily...Mom and Emily...Oh, and Mr. Potato Head was in on the love too...Next: Swimming @ Nate and Cheryl's...
All that swimming made us hungry!Friday night mom watched the kids while Troy and I went to a movie (Inception, great movie, go see it), and dinner. WHAT A TREAT! We enjoyed having adult conversation.

Saturday morning mom stayed with Emily while we took Ben and ran a long run. On the way home, I bought this (for $2.00)...
What fun!

Even when you bust it!

Emily cried for Grandma Sunday night, broke my heart...
