Happy Grandparent's Day

Yesterday we had dinner at our house in celebration of Grandparent's Day.  Mima, Papa, Grandaddy, Grandma and Grandpa were able to join us.  We missed you Granmommy and wish you could have been here, too!  

I made grilled chicken topped with bacon, mushrooms and cheese; baked sweet potatoes; strawberry romaine salad and rolls.  Lillian drew some sweet cards at school for everyone.  Her teacher thought it was so funny when I told her she needed to make four cards - such lucky kids to have so many sets of grandparents to love!

Happy Grandparent's Day!

Today we had Grandparent's Day dessert at our house to celebrate the holiday. We missed you Grandma, Grandpa, Papa and Granmommy!! Spoiler alert - the kids made you a little craft so don't look at the pictures if you don't want to see it ahead of time since I didn't get them in the mail early enough (as usual)... We had lots of arts and crafts time this past school week!

Caleb, Ella, Lillian and Jackson love you all so much and feel so blessed to have SIX wonderful grandparents!

And Aunt Cissy we enjoyed celebrating with you even though you aren't our grandparent, but a grandparent nonetheless!

Wreaths and other goodies for the grandparents and some homemade (coffee filters and pipe cleaners) watercolor flowers for Aunt Cissy.

"Make your own ice cream sundae" bar!

Where Have We Been?

You may wonder why there is an absence of posts here from this week (or maybe you haven't noticed or don't care!)... That is because I have been missing two children for the last two nights! Granmommy has been visiting and the girls spend last night and the night before with her at Grandaddy's house. Now I remember what life with 2 was like, except that now the oldest is at school all day. And there isn't a whole lot to blog about!

So why is my house still messy and my laundry still piled up? Who knows - maybe you could ask Jackson since I have been smothering him with attention all day yesterday and this morning! He will probably be ready for a break from me when the girls come back later today!

I did get the pleasure if taking all the kids with me to Jackson's 9-month well check on Monday (Caleb was out of school for a teacher work day). Here are Jackson's stats:

height: 28 inches

weight: 19 lbs., 7 oz.

head circ.: 47 cm

Dr. Leviten decided to skip his vaccinations for now because he has had a nasty cough since last week. He actually tested him for RSV but it came back negative, thank the Lord!
