Oh boy, did we love having these sweet little folks here for five days! We were in grandparent/aunt heaven! Hearing their little voices chattering first thing in the morning. Watching Peter toddle through the house. Seeing their dear faces around the table. Reading stories. Giggles. Goodnight hugs and kisses. The stuff dreams are made of.
We threatened to keep a kid or three, but their parents wouldn't hear of it. (Actually, neither would the kids, but you can't blame us for trying.) Good thing Kati was able to fit in a nieces-and-nephew photo shoot on Monday morning before they left.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Even though you don't see your grands as much as you'd like, there is something nice about having them stay at your house--waking up with them in the morning, fun at the breakfast table and late at night, that I don't get to enjoy with them living here in town (unless we schedule a sleep over).
ReplyDeleteI spent a week every summer, growing up, at each grandparents' house and let me tell you, you would think I lived there year round I have so many vivid memories of those times --- they are remembered more than just the daily living. Very precious memories to me. A few years ago we had a cousin family reunion and the current owners of our grandparents' house (which my grandfather built) invited us in to the house for the afternoon to relive our memories and share some refreshments. They even let us go into the attics --knowing as children we would have memories of playing there! :-)
And going over to Kati's blog made me realize I have visited her blog before!
