(A lot happens when you don't update your blog for more than two weeks. We've been fine, just busy!)
It is so much FUN to have both sets of grandparents and Aunt Pam here now! It's also really nice to have someone share the work of dishes, clean-up, kid-watching and playing. :)
My folks arrived for a two-month visit, and the kids very obviously remembered them!

| Seth running full-bore to Grandpadad. Will got to him first by breaking the rules and going through the "no entry" gate! |
 |
| David is so happy his tongue is hanging out! Marcie was screaming hysterically with delight. (Aunt Pam got these pics. Grandma got ecstatic hugs, too!) |
 |
| Gracie "helped" Grandma unpack. Oops. We didn't notice where she was or what she was doing - with Marcie. |
 |
| Grandma and the kids (minus Will, who came along later) |
 |
| Seth and Aunt Pam (my favorite person in the whole wide world when I was a kid, and still in the top .00001%!) |
 |
| Grandma playing farm and tractors with Seth. |
 |
| Looking at pictures. Jason, Isaac's friend, was interested to see them too. :) |
 |
| Aunt Pam is always ready and willing for an adventure. We ran an errand to Aunt Kelly's house using this fun old truck. It's pretty jolty in the back. Some of the kids rode up front with her instead. Marcie insisted on it every time. :) |
 |
| Happy girls and grandparents on Sunday. The girls' outfits made me squeal, they are so cute!! Thank you, Len, Mickey, CJ and JJ, Megan and Naomi and Aunt Katie for the beautiful/useful/delicious, thoughtful gifts! We are so touched by and thrilled with your selections. (And I'm sure I'm still missing someone!) |

| Grandpadad in one of the silly hats Aunt Pam brought the boys. Gracie loved being on his lap. (He's still teaching online classes for NorthStar Academy, so he needs that computer.) |

I see you mentioned North Star Academy. We are looking into it. How does he like teaching? Glad you and the kids are doing great. They are getting so big.
