Meeting the Grandparents- Part II

Nana and Poppa Umpy came for a visit from Wisconsin to meet their new grandson and love on their Ladybug for a bit



Enjoying their first grandson before Ladybug wakes from her nap.


Nana beams with joy at snuggle time.

Lauren enjoying the cradle made by her great-great grandfather for Nana. Nana got a tickle out of Lauren playing inside the cradle, as she can remember doing the very same thing as a child!

Getting Davis ready for his 1 month photo shoot...only had time for a quick spong bath. Can't say that he was a huge fan. We averted near disaster as he took naked time to mean potty time. Good thing Mommy is quick on her feet!

At the portrait studio, Kate and the kids. Still a little strange to talk about kids (plural) sometimes.

We had lots of fun during their visit. We took Lauren and Davis to their first Gwinnett Braves game, where Lauren was thrilled to see Chopper, the groundhog mascot. I can still hear her shouting, "Choppah, Choppah. Come back here and see me!!.....". Alas, Chopper could not hear her in his costume! We went to Swallow at the Hollow for some Southern BBQ. But mostly we just hung out and enjoyed spending time together.

One morning, Lauren wears Umpy's ball cap and Nana's shoes while tucking her teddy bear into his stroller.

In full show-off mode, Lauren put on her Princcess Dress to twirl for Nana.

We enjoyed the Norcross Farmer's Market and the newly re-opened city park. Mom/Nana got the best fresh peaches, and made us a home-made peach pie! I am almost ashamed to say that the 4 of us ate the whole thing. Almost. But it was too good....

Lauren is SOOOO CLOSE to mastering her trike. Her legs, long though they are, are just not QUITE long enough. Another month or so and she'll be cruising!

Coloring with sidewalk chalk along with Nana.

Reading with Umpy. I have a great video clip that I will post soon that shows Lauren "reading" Llama, Llama Red Pajamas to Nana. She's got it down pretty well, I must say!

The Crunkletons met us out for dinner one night so they could see my folks. Lauren and Haylie are the best of friends.

Mom and Dad helped out so much with both kids, and Lauren, especially, enjoyed their visit. We love you guys! Thanks for everything, and we look forward to our next visit! XOXOX
