A great time with grandma and grandpa

Today we had to say goodbye to grandma and grandpa after a nice 3 week visit. I'm not sure who will miss them more - Kaelyn or us. It sure was nice to have extra hands on deck. We now know what it is like to have grandparents around. What a nice life. And Miss Kaelyn sure did get attached. She really had a great time with grandma and grandpa. All the extra attention and love! She will surely feel empty. Good thing we get to go visit them soon. Here is their "official" Christmas photo...



Here are a few things from the weeks they visited...

Kaelyn LOVES balloons. We get them whenever we go to the store. Grandpa had fun making her hair stand up one morning with the helium balloon!



Since grandpa has entered his official "retirement" years and we have run out of large house projects for him, we decided it was a good time to have him build a little kitchen just for Kaelyn. It was fun trying to make a kitchen that was "not from China." We are still having challenges finding US based products for the kitchen shelves! But it was a great time nonetheless and Miss Kaelyn now has a kitchen she will enjoy for years and years (and with which to make all the other kids jealous!). Thank you grandpa - you're the BEST!





We enjoyed a very quiet and relaxed Thanksgiving. It was just what we needed ;-)




Here is a short video that grandma took to show how Kaelyn is walking now. She really took off about a week ago and now prefers walking to crawling. Yay! No more dirty hands and knees!
