Yikes, life sure has gotten busy!\u00a0 I didn’t mean to let so much time go by between blog posts.\u00a0 I haven’t been able to figure out where my time is going these days!\u00a0 Anyway, we recently had a WONDERFUL, helpful, productive visit from my parents.\u00a0 We all loved having them here and can’t wait for a repeat visit, especially now that my mom is retired from nursing so she can travel more freely!<\/p>\n

Grandpa was an instant hit with Tazie \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And of course it didn’t hurt that Grammie came bearing chocolate lollipops!<\/p>\n

And here he is chaperoning Jimmy’s new obsession with BB gun target practice!<\/p>\n

More pics to come!<\/p>\n
