Ben's parents were here for a week recently and we are still feeling the emptiness after visitors leave. It was such - a - good - time! Really there is nothing like seeing your children get to know their grandparents [and cousins and aunties/uncles, old friends...]. It was especially wonderful to see them get to know Edie this time - she really has the cutest little personality now!! I loved hearing her giggle and 'talk' with them - so fun. Vera loved having them here too - she jumped right in with a picnic and a "hula-hoop show" in the driveway as they arrived and had painted them a welcome sign and pictures before.

Hopefully I can get the other pictures off Ben's camera - I hardly took any with mine. Here they are, mostly of the day we hiked up to Cecret Lake to see the wildflowers. Seriously, we live in such a beautiful place! That picture above is from Mike's camera - the flowers were so beautiful.


the welcome picnic:

lots of stories were read:

and of course, we ate really really well.
