Our first week

Wow!  Can I really be this tired?  It's been a lot of fun and excitement so far.  This past weekend I went to northern IL to visit a friend and see her new baby.  Her brother got married and Jenny and I took care of her little guy who is about 12 weeks old.  Grace and Andrew stayed with my mom for the weekend and apparently were really good and didn't fight all weekend, slept really well, and didn't throw temper tantrums?  Really?  Where did they go?  Ever since I got home we have had screaming, fighting, whining.  At least they were good for Grannylou.  Grace helped bake cookies for church and back cinnamon rolls.  I guess Andrew wasn't interested.  I would love to pictures online but my mom can't find the cord for her camera and I forgot mine at home.  I will have to get a cd made somewhere when I get a few more pictures. 

It rained for 2 days while we were here.  The kids had a blast playing in the rain.  We don't get a lot of rain where we live so they were thrilled. 

Last night, Papa Rick (my dad) came over to see the kids.  We had been playing outside and the kids were riding their bikes so he came to see them for a while.  They had so much fun playing with him.  He chased them and tickled them on their bikes.  They tried to ride past him without him catching them but he was pretty quick to catch them each time.  I'm glad he came over to see them and play with them for a while.  We are going to my grandpa's house the afternoon to see everyone again and then tomorrow is my grandpa's birthday so we'll be with them again tomorrow.  My aunt and uncle that live in Florida will be there and I haven't seen them since my wedding so it will be nice to see them and they can see my kids as well.  We still have 2 weeks left and lots of fun is to come.
