It was an amazing two weeks - such delight to have her here and (as she shared) the kids are just at really fun ages for a visit. Not that any age is NOT fun, but you know what I mean....
So, here's a collection of some of my favorite photos from the visit. It's fun to have Dad here as a photographer, it means I actually get into a photo or two (though he is noticeably absent!). [And Dad will be here for more weeks - then off to Malaysia, then back here before finally heading home to the U.S.]
Isaac spends HOURS in his room, driving his cars around.
Just love this sweet face and the birthday cupcake :)
What multi-tasking looks like! I cannot even begin to guess the number of hours we spend at this little table, nor the number of cap-less markers at the end of a day :)
Julianna is desperate to learn how to sew. She actually already made a little sleeper for her baby doll - she did it all herself (except thread the needle). She cut the fabric, stitched up the sides, even stitched a little design in the front. It's a little awkward to use and I help her dress her baby in it, but she is only 5 years old.
Anyways, when Grandmama was here she tried to learn a little crochet. It's hard for Mom to teach her, since Mom crochets left handed, but she made a good effort.
Dad took this pic of the kids on the big bed at Mom and Dad's apartment one morning. Pretty classic shot, Julianna reading Wind in the Willows (or at least trying her best) and the other two wrestling :)
Isaac and his new fav book... The Big Book of Things that Go. Which we now read approximately once every 90 minutes. Good times.
My future engineer :) With a lot of help from her Granddaddy, finished her first attempt at following the instructions and creating a Lego building project.
There's lots more but I'll stop here for now. So much fun to have visitors in town!!!

Very handsome pictures and I'm so very happy for blogs. Love it, love it , love it. So sad for Patt to have to go home, but that is our lives, and it could always be worse. Love, Jam
Love seeing the tie-dye ASU shirt again. Caroline LOVED that shirt! Looks like lots of fun and it's good to see you in some pictures too.
Awesome! I love to see all of the pictures. And I can TOTALLY relate to how many markers there are without lids at the end of the day...:)
So glad you had that time with your mom!
