I Love...

Katie and Noah, Cal and Wy came for a visit.

I love how the dynamic's change in our house when they come.
We go from very routine to no routine!
I hear Katie whisper to the boys, "Go tell Meema."

And so begins the daily oatmeal breakfast

and then playing the Zoo matching game routine.

I love how Calvin loves the monkey

and Wyatt loves the Polar Bay (Bear)

and they aren't past cheating to get them!

Me, I just love the experience.

I love having ALL the kids home and watch them interact together.

I love how somewhere along the way the "remember when's" start,

and we all enthusiastically take off down memory lane.

I love the laughter and happiness.

I love our memories.

Katie and Noah were keeping a secret that they shared with us.
I loved finding out they have a bun in the oven and

grandbaby number 16 is on the way!!!

They loved packing up all their stuff in their new van,

before they headed home to New York.

They were very good at collecting everything from everywhere in

the house, but last time they were home I bragged on how impressed

I was that they didn't forget anything,

but now they do.

So I loved finding the Bubble Yum and
dried piece of play dough on top the microwave.

I loved finding the blue elephant that Calvin kept hiding so no one would get it.

But most of all I love, love.
