A visit from Tita Grace

Backtracking a bit . . . We had a wonderful visit from Gus' sister Grace over labor day weekend. Our kids love Tita Grace and always have a ton of fun with her! She wanted to take us to Cracker Barrel for breakfast on Saturday morning and we gladly obliged :) It was a beautiful weekend and the kids enjoyed the big rocking chairs and store quite a bit.

Gotta love this pose from Nathan! What a ham :)

Grace bought the kids some really adorable sock monkey costumes that they like wearing around the house.

Emie is always thrilled to find anything she determines to be "Emie sized".



After that, we headed to Ikea to get some bookshelves for Grace. We had a great time! They had a balloon maker who made the kids swords and pirate hats so they could sail around in our pirate ship (a.k.a. cart). And then we ate our fill of Swedish meatballs :)


We were all sad to see Tita Grace head back to Iowa! But we did get to see her again after Isaac was born, which was another special treat. Emie asks regularly if we can drive to Iowa to see Tita. Hopefully sometime soon!
