Thanks Grandpa Al and Grandma Cindy for the vintage K-Line train set.  We had fun setting it all up and learning about electricity too!  Love, Alex

Baseball!

Having a fun visit with Grandpa Al and Grandma Cindy this week.  These are some pics of Alex and Grandpa playing baseball this afternoon.  As you can see, they had fun and got some good exercise ;-)

Visitors

We all had a fun week with Grandpa and Cindy here.  In addition to having alot of fun playing, reading and hanging out in the backyard during our nice Fall weather, they also were very helpful with some projects around the house, including putting a new, easier to use faucet in the bathroom which Alex uses, and taking out the old metal and glass shower doors, both projects which we have wanted to do since we moved in, but just haven't had time to do.  Thanks for your help!  We had a fun time!  As is the case with all of you out there, feel free to come by and spend some time with us.  We now have plenty of room for visitors!

More yard work

Grandpa is having fun with Alex and Julia as you can see.  A little cuddling here, a little yard work there, a visit to the library here, some ice cream there.  Lots of activities to fill up the day.

We're having fun with Grandpa and Cindy while they are here.  Alex is keeping them busy!  Lots of reading, playing and showing them around.  On Saturday morning, the local fire department had an open house and pancake breakfast, so that was our morning activity.  Alex did not know where we were walking to that morning and was pleasantly surprised when he found out that we were having breakfast inside the fire station!  They had lots of fun activities for the kiddos and lots of good information for the parents.  Alex and Grandpa took a turn putting out a fire with an extinguisher, Alex spent some time in the firetruck jumpy house, and we took tours of a few of the many fire vehicles.  It was a great morning activity and we thank the firefighters for all of their hard work.
