Visit to Grammy & Papa France

On a 4 day trip to grandma's house about an 1 1/2 hours from home....great Aunt Mary is in town for a visit from LA. These trips are always full of commotion and frenzied play with cousins and relatives....leading to poor naps and late bedtimes...but SO much fun! So far I have only broken 2 dishes trying to "help" in the sleepy stooper I call my day (well--some days)--and I have one more day to go!




Kailee and Nate with cousin Issac.."playing sleep" on Grammy's couch. (Right)

Nice to have help managing the mahiem that is my kids--away from the safe, child-proofed world they live in most days--we love spending time at the grandparents house. Even here my little Kailee shows her true colors of "pushing buttons" when she picks Auntie Mary (whom she has only seen 3 times her whole life) to put her to bed...over Grammy (who loves putting the kids to bed)---figures.


Nate regressing to infancy --playing with the baby bouncer. He sat in it like a recliner reading The Hungry Caterpillar. (Left)


It's nice that it doesn't take a major holiday to bring all the family together (well most of it anyway)...and kids, and dogs...and everything else.....
