Pictures in my Head

Before the boys came home, I would try to picture them as part of our family. What would it be like to have two little people running around our house? Or how would they look sitting on my dad's lap at a baseball game?

The picture below is one of the images I pictured in my head...almost exactly.


This is my grandmother, minutes after meeting my children.

Here are a few more pictures from our trip. A big thank you to Aunt Kelly who came along for the ride. I wouldn't have survived without her help and I wouldn't have any pictures to share with you.

There are certain things that are only allowed at Grandma's house...playing drums with spoons and the dining room table is one of those things. (That's a Spiderman band aid on Colin's forehead...he tumbled with a ceramic cat.)

I have no idea how to explain this picture. There are so many layers to this pictorial onion. My family will appreciate it and will need no explanation so the rest of you will just have to make up your own caption.


The fun wore us right out...

...all of us!

Thanks to everyone who made this trip a special one for...well, me mostly. It was important to me that great grandma could meet the boys. And she, in true form, made the trip a memorable one for them. It will take me weeks to undo the spoiling that took place. It's okay though...that's what I remember most about her house. We got to do things and eat things we couldn't do anywhere else. She has a gift of making her family feel special and loved.
