We were blessed to have Kati's family stay with us for a weekend in November to help celebrate Kati's grandma's 80th birthday! We had so much fun, though too short of a visit!!
Aunt Aurea and Uncle Rob made a "chair" for Caleb and then proceeded to carry him over to the trashcan. Caleb giggled and yelled the whole way...what fun silliness!
We treated our Washington family to a yummy Chick-fil-A dinner! (Isn't it sad that there is no Chick-fil-A in Washington??)
When we got home Ethan got his first haircut. Dada was doing a great job distracting Ethan while Momma tried to get those itty-bitty, fuzzy hairs.
Distraction stopped working and those "scary" scissors were no fun. Dada had to take over while Momma tried to soothe Ethan.
Whew! Only the pacifier would work. You'd think he had his whole head cut, but only a little around the ears!
Grandma Jan and Grandpa had so much fun playing with their two grandsons. Doesn't Ethan look like he's saying, "Here I am, love on me!"?
Caleb was in heaven with Uncle Rob playing airplanes with him!
For screen time one day Caleb asked Uncle Rob to play Donkey Kong Country with him on the Wii. Ethan wanted to get in there and play too!
Caleb also asked everyone to read him his rest or bedtime story and pray with him. Here Uncle Rob takes his turn.
Caleb had to show Grandma Jan what he does for "work time" each day. He was so proud to show her what he knows.
Aunt Aurea getting some snuggle time in with a very tired baby!
The day after G.G.'s party we went to Kati's Aunt and Uncle's house to celebrate an early Thanksgiving while everyone was in town. The weather was so comfortable that we had to take advantage of it when we got home. The boys had such a great time having lots of people to play with!
You can never have too many pictures of Grandma and Grandpa with the grandkids!
Aunt Aurea knew just what Ethan liked to play with...Caleb's toys!
Caleb got to play lots of games.
Grandpa taught Caleb how to play "Bejeweled" and Caleb was hooked. He would have played all weekend if we would have let him! But it was fun to see the two working together to play.
Grandpa even got on the floor to play with Ethan too!
Ethan was much happier at the end of their stay since he was feeling VERY sick with a cold the first several days. Here he even let go of the pacifier and smiled!
Scooting to Momma's leg to try and reach that camera!
Uncle Rob came back from a quick trip to Austin with Mike to see a Formula 1 race. He pitched right in to help when he got back.
And Caleb, feeling neglected (or jealous?), got a piggyback ride from Aunt Aurea.
Here Ethan is saying, "Ooo...ooo."
Aunt Aurea and Caleb gave us a GREAT puppet show!
Aunt Aurea's horse even kissed Ethan.
What awesome Godparents the boys have!
Thanks for coming to visit Grandpa Grothe, Grandma Jan, Uncle Rob, and Aunt Aurea. We miss you a lot. Come again soon!
