Family Visits

This past week has been so fun! We had two very special visitors. My mom ("Nana") came for a whole week. She stayed in Selah's room, which means the kiddos were all in one room again.  Selah was in a sleeping bag, then the other two were jealous because they wanted to be in sleeping bags, so before you knew it, all 3 were in sleeping bags for the week :-)

Mom and I spent the week sightseeing, reading to the kids and shopping. We found some of the local antique stores, tried out a few restaurants and then Mom took me clothes shopping :-) I hadn't shopped for clothes for probably a year, so it was super fun to get a few new items.

On top of my fun, the kids LOVED having Nana here. She read to them, helped them get ready in the mornings and evenings, watched them a few nights while Ross and I were out, played games with them, colored with them.

It was such a treat for all us to be spoiled and loved on by Nana. Taking us out to meals and generally making our life easier and more fun for a week :-)

Here are pictures from our visit to Murdoch's to see the chicks and rabbits:

I forgot to mention that we had a family bowling night with Nana:

On Friday, Nana's last night, Uncle Bret stopped in for a surprise visit. He was traveling up to Canada and stopped by to say hello on Friday night and then again on Sunday night on his way back down. We hadn't seen Uncle Bret in 3 years, so this was a wonderful surprise.  It was super fun to see Bret with his nieces and nephew - making pancakes for them and playing monopoly with them - as well as dancing with them and throwing them up in the air. No pictures from that visit. Bummer.
