Visiting Gwendolyn

A few weeks ago my parents got to come out to NC and meet Gwendolyn for the first time.  We had a ton of fun with them here.  Neal loved having Grandma around every day and we often found him either snuggling her in the mornings, playing games with her on the iPad, or convincing her to play transformers or army men.  

When Grandma wasn't busy playing with Neal she was able to spend some sweet snuggle time with Gwendolyn.   It was so fun to have her around for a few weeks.  

I had lots of help with changing diapers, entertaining Neal and Tyler and I even got to go out on a date (thanks to the free babysitting).  Also, let's not forget about how fun it was with Poppa her too.  Neal got to build a birdhouse with Poppa and Poppa helped him "fight" lots of bad guys throughout the day.

We stayed home most days, enjoying coffee, cookies and just time all together.   The kids also enjoyed some daily walks with Grandma and Poppa around the neighborhood.  

We got to go to Chick-fil-A several times (one of Neal's favorite places to play), visit the Marbles Kids Museum and the NC State Fair.   Gwendolyn changed lots even over the short 2 weeks they were here and she continues to change each day.

We wish both our families lived a little closer so we could see them more often, especially with young kids who change so quickly.   So thankful for Skype and FaceTime so we can see each other lots.
