Grandfather and Grandma Ann

We were just blessed with a great visit by Mike's parents. They met Lily for the first time and caught up on all of Amelia's antics. We mostly spent time around the house, just hanging out. They entertained Amelia with many walks and outside adventures, we went to the pumpkin patch, and they also changed many diapers and soothed both girls often.

It took Amelia no time at all to warm up to her grandparents. She definitely ate up every bit of the extra attention, and I imagine we may have quite a time of it with her this week as she adjusts to not having so many loving hands available. She picked up a couple more words while her grandparents were here - she attempts "thank you," she mimics a lot more like "night night," and she seems to be closer to "mama" and "dada" in context.

Here are some photos of the girls and their grandparents.



Amelia loves sitting with Grandfather on "her sofa."










All the g-rents. I'm glad you can't see behind the camera on this one to know whey they were all laughing. Let's just say I'll resort to just about anything ridiculous to get Amelia to smile for a photo.


I love my dad's face in this one. You can see yet another source of Amelia's cheeseball-ness. :)

Grandparents are so fun!!! We're up visiting my parents this week and Audrey is LOVING the extra attention, and all the fun toys at Granny's house.

Lovely photos, we are hoping for some similar grandparent x 4 shots next week when we also get a visitation from Ukiah! They are currently halfway through a 2 week tour of England first before coming to us for a week. Lily looking long!

Those are some beautiful girls, I am so glad they have two amazing sets of grandparents! I am so happy for my nieces, and hopefully my kids to have grandparents!

It's so funny - Lily looks so much like our Audrey in these pics. Must be the newborn baby girl look. Looks like you had great family time.

Great pics and memories! I was just wondering if Amelia could open her mouth any further? Ha! She's such a ham!
