We Love Visitors

We love visitors! We were lucky enough to have two sets of visitors during the month of October. First, Grandma and Papa Wallace came for a few days. Two weeks later, we got to spend some time with Sherrie, Taylor, Mackay, and baby Easton!

Grandma and Grandpa Wallace arrived and we greeted them with a house full of sick people. So instead of playing and shopping, Grandma spent her first full day here at the house while I ran kids to doctors appointments and picked up prescriptions. We did make up for it the next two days as we dragged the kids to the mall, Crate and Barrel, and The Container Store. (Shopping and eating-- that's all there is to do here!) Kelsie asked Grandma if she brought any of her delicious homemade bread with her. Being the awesome grandma that she is, she spent the evening making bread with Kelsie. I was excited to watch and learn too, and have even made a batch that was almost as good as Grandma's! Jackson was excited to have Grandma and Papa come to his soccer game. We warned them in advance that soccer to Jackson is merely a social event, but he proved us wrong and ended up having the game of his life! He even scored a goal! Chloe amazed us all by scooting across the floor. Now that she's mobile, she's trouble! As always, it was hard to say goodbye to Grandma and Papa, but we are looking forward to Christmas when we will visit them!

The Burton's came and stayed with us for a couple of days en route to Pensacola. Jackson and Mackay had a great time playing together and I was thrilled to finally see sweet little Easton. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to play around, since they had a 10-hour trip ahead of them. (with a 3-year old and a new baby--YIKES!) We did, however take them to the mall, where we conned Taylor into watching the little boys at the play area while Sherrie and I shopped! (It's an amazing mall, you could spend a whole day there!) We had a great time with the Burtons and were so glad they stopped in! Good luck in Florida!
