Week 2

and the fun continues...
the castle park,

more ice cream,


David in Grandpa's Dutch wooden shoes,
trying on more hats....while eating,
coloring the dinosaurs on JUMBO coloring pages,
enjoying Nana's sweet company on the deck and at the snowball stand,

helping Grandpa work,
getting a piano lesson from Great granda Mimi,
bird watching,
kissing baby fat,
attending a wedding of a dear frined from college,
jumping on the moonwalk,
enjoying yummy food and dance at the wedding,
taking family pictures,
and enjoying nice strolls outside at dusk! The kids have handled the transition well and are enjoying their grandparents. It is amazing how they just know they are special people. David is always asking about different people we have seen and been with recently as if to say, "Are we going to see them today?" It has been sweet and unforgetable.
