TX grandparents come to visit


The only Grandparents + 4 grandkids photo (Summer 08)

I am both trying to post more current things and also realizing how far behind I am in other categories. For example, this post on the TX grandparents who came in early July!!?!

They were here for 2 weeks and we were celebrating not only SPL's 3rd birthday but my mom's recovery from foot surgery and her no longer having to wear a brace! w00t!

We had a low-key visit as they like to do punctuated by SPL's birthday party and by the trio attending sports camp. This was the only Grandparents + 4 grandkids photo that I was able to snap as SPL wasn't feeling patient. I did get Grandma with the 4a bit later on the same day.

This vacation we did a lot of reading (as usual), made cupcakes for SPL's party, decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles as per SPL's request (Grandpa even tried his hand at it— look at the engineering precision he uses to spread the icing :-), and had more time playing with the trio/cousins.
