After my Dad and Hillarie left us, we were blessed to have my Mom stay an extra week. We had such a great time. We shopped, ate yogurt (we're talking the fabulous frozen, tart kind, not yoplait...you know, the pinkberry knockoff kind), went to the park, ate more yogurt, went to Alexandria Old Town, shopped some more, ate even more yogurt, had a jumping contest, got lost a few times (typical for me), laughed, ate good food, went on fun walks...the list goes on. The last morning she was here we went for a really fun walk on a walking path through a wooded area. It was beautiful. As we were walking, some lady walked passed us and in a nasty voice said, "those poor kids." I guess she didn't like the fact that both my Mom and I were on our phones with the boys crying in the stroller.

The boys love Grandma Sue and miss her dearly. Maybe it's because when she's around they get spoiled. Ethan's Thomas Train collection grew ten fold last week. Each time we went shopping, he walked away with a new train. Unfortunately for him, I'm not as nice. Today we walked into a store and he said, "hmmm, what do I want? What should I get?" When I explained to him that only happens when Grandma Sue comes, he finally conceded with, "Oh dear."
Thanks for all the fun!

It was so fun. I miss all of you so much. Thanks for everything.
Oh, I heart Grandma Sue, too.
But I hear you were a pretty good hostess, yourself. And I hear that Ethan is a crackup.
Actually, that was from me. But I'm sure Christian hearts Grandma Sue, too
