Nana Comes To Town

It's always fun to have grandparents come visit and always sad when they leave. Nana came out to Seattle for an extra long weekend and it meant some local adventures, lots of giggles with cousins, and some good, old fashioned attention-basking. We are very thankful that the little people know and see and adore their grandparents as often and as much as they do and I know that mom and dad also love their visits. An extra set of hands and eyes and hearts -- yes, please. Mary, Polly, and I also got to sneak out for a ladies afternoon, which was lovely and rejuvenating. We also went up to the top of the Space Needle, which was my first time there, and it was nice to check off that box in our "tourist in our own backyard spreadsheet" (no, we don't really have one but I'm thinking we should). We lucked out with good weather, good company, and lots of good cheer.

Thankfully, Jack roped someone else into his Hop On Pop obsession. 

Molly didn't let Jack have all of the attention for too long. Oh nooooo. 

Put on a happy face. 

Nana's visit also left a little more time for me to spend quality time with Mr. Drooly Pants... guess what we're doing? Yup, reading Hop On Pop. 

Having a visitor also means having those pictures taken with actual parents in them. 

The three musketeers.

Molly and Emmy calling out to the poor, poor people below. Joke may be on them, though, since I think they were actually just yelling into an empty grate. 

Dads and daughters. 

Here is our house if anyone is interested -- thanks for taking that pic, Nana!

See you soon -- the welcome mat is always down!
