Grandparents Galore!

We said good-bye to Grandma and Grandpa C (affectionately known as "Grammy" and "Papa") this morning after spending the weekend with them. They arrived on Friday afternoon (after having to take a detour through Iowa to get through the flood waters) for a weekend of work and fun! Papa helped us do some yard work (which included two trips to Menards) while Grammy was on Drew duty (I don't think she minded!). We laid landscaping plastic, edging and mulch on the north side of our house where a hodge-podge of plants/flowers/weeds used to bloom. We also picked up some fencing at Menards to enclose our backyard (Drew has learned how to get off the patio so time to baby-proof our lawn!) and to complete the outdoor renovation, Grammy & Papa celebrated our 6th anniversary with us by giving us patio furniture!!! (Thank you so much!) Brad and I have yet to assemble it, but once we do, our backyard is going to be the place to be! Especially considering that our new patio table is bigger than our dining room table! I guess I can't say much to what Drew did this past weekend; I got the weekend "off" with help from Grammy. We did swim in Drew's backyard pool for a while Saturday afternoon, and Drew experimented with his new Elmo sprinkler that he bought with some of his birthday money. He's not real wild about it yet, but we'll keep working on it.

Brad celebrated Father's Day, with a new shirt and tie and an electronic sudoku game.

I noticed this weekend how much our picture taking has dwindled the past few months. We don't take near as many photos as we did when Drew was younger. Here are just a couple that I took...I'll have to get the rest from Grammy's camera!

That Grammy makes the BEST chocolate frosting!

Someday, these will fit!!
