While we were gone...

the boys had great fun with Nana and Pop during the week and with Gramma and Grampa on the weekend. They played hard, ate well, read lots of books, made it to school early with big smiles on their faces,

did all their homework, went to a birthday party, made us "Welcome Home" signs, enjoyed ice cream, watched a new Mickey Mouse movie, did puzzles,

made a picture diary of what they did each day, smelled the roses, were mostly on their best behavior and created a panda bear at art class.

Their adventures with the four grandparents were so fun that they boys barely missed us. But we did get the biggest, best hugs on our return. And what a welcome home it was! Besides seeing our favorite little people in the whole world, we came home to a spotless house with cut grass and trimmed rose bushes and a refrigerator full of dinners for the week. Thank you so much, Nana, Pop, Gramma and Grampa! Clearly we should go on these little getaways more often!
