Grandparent Visit




We had a wonderful visit with Grandmom and Pop-pop! Nicholas loved showing off and basked in the attention, laughing and smiling the whole time. He is one lucky boy to have grandparents who love him so much! I think Nicholas will really miss them tomorrow when he wakes up and realizes Pop-pop isn't waiting to greet him with a smile and a hug. We are looking forward to vacation next month. Nicholas will certainly have some new tricks up his sleeve

"I am one lucky boy!" Nicholas with his new toy Grandmom and Pop-pop bought for him. He also got some new blocks. Thanks again, he is playing with them as I write!



Nicholas' favorite thing to do is to pull all of the blocks out of the turtle Pop-pop made for him. Here he is showing off how he can climb right over the turlte to get to the blocks. He's an animal!




"I love when Grandmom feeds me my fruit and veggies!" Here is Nicholas showing Grandmom his Kiss face in the high chair.




We took advantage of the grandparents being here and decided to take a day at Lake Nubanusit with just me and Chris. It was my first full day away from Nicholas EVER! We spent the day on the canoe and got stuck in a thunder and lightening storm for about an hour and a half. We took cover under a portage landing and drank beer. After the storm we made it to a rope swing. It was scary jumping off the rock, but when I saw little kids doing it, I figured I had to give it a try. Thank you Grandmom and Pop-pop, we had such a great day! I missed my baby, but I think he and his grandparents had a fun day too! Thanks for all your help this entire weekend.

Here is me on my first jump, being a scaredy cat starting on the lower rock.



Here is Chris doing a side flop, ouch!



Another of Chris making the perfect landing!



OK, I know this picture is blurry, but look closely. I am about to do a big belly flop. It was painful, I have welts on my legs to prove it.

I love his little plaid overalls! Too cute!

How cool that you and Chris had an entire day to yourself. Good for you. I'm sure it was super fun, and a bit weird too. Tommy and I have had a date night where we went to sushi. We were only gone like an hour and a half. LOL ... I asked if we should go for a walk or something and we were both like ... nah ... let's go home to Max!

Really hope we get the chance to get together at Christmas!
