We just finished a long weekend....Friday morning we had a playdate with Oma and Opa. Opa hadn't seen the boys in one whole week so he wanted to play!! Opa and the boys all had a blast! They even all behaved, Opa too!! Ewan was thrilled to get a new quiltie Oma made just for him. Now both boys have a play quilt made by their Oma. After much play the boys were all hungry and we met Daddy at Five Guys for lunch. Jack likes it there, especially the peanuts in the shell!!

After some good naps Friday afternoon Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit. It was their first visit since Jack was born so we were all excited to see them! Jack loved showing off all his tricks to a new audience!

Saturday morning the four of us went to the zoo with Grandpa. It was a beautiful morning and Jack help the lion cubs celebrate their first birthday by eating a cubcake!! Then we picked up Grandma and had lunch at the house, played, napped, played some more and went to dinner. We went to one of our new favorite places, Lilfred's in Rembert. Josh and I went there for our anniversary and it was absolutely fabulous again. Jack of course flirted with all the girls and Ewan has started to flirt too!!

Sunday we went to lunch (mini sleep deprived meltdown for Jack), did a quick shopping trip and headed home for naps. After nap time the boys enjoyed the pool at Grandma and Grandpa's hotel. It was Ewan's first time in a pool and he loved splashing! We ate a quiet dinner at home and enjoyed some homemade blackberry cobbler for dessert (Josh picked wild berries that morning)!

Then Monday the boys and I settled back into "normal" life while Grandma and Grandpa went shopping most of the day. And then it was dinner for the whole clan....the four of us, Oma, Opa, Grandma and Grandpa. The boys enjoyed flirting again and everyone had a wonderful meal at Mr. Friendly's. Best grits in town, and we aren't even grits people!!

And now Grandma and Grandpa went home today and life is back to what little routine we had before.

Ewan continues to fuss because of teeth (first one cut through Friday). He is getting much better at eating baby food, FINALLY!!! Jack is still full of energy and growing. Had to get the poor boy new shoes today he seems to be outgrowing all of his shoes!!
