thanks for comin'

lucky us. tyler and i had more visits from family. tyler's parents flew out to wisconsin at the end of october. they had a pretty good excuse to come and visit too now that they've got two grandkids here. i know they miss those kiddos like crazy, so it's always fun when they can get some time off to see katelyn and now tanner.

it was a laid back kind of visit, and it was perfect. while they were here we ran errands with and without the kids (tyler and i had a hot date to the grocery store thanks to lori), we went trick-or-treating, went out to eat to celebrate darren's birthday, blessed tanner and hung out and talked. i should add too that i got to take some awesome naps and sleep in because they were always happy to take the kids. it was wonderful.




katelyn is in love with her grandpa and has him wrapped around her little finger. grandpa is the one who will spend hours upstairs playing in her room with her when everyone else is busy, and she loves it. i know i have a picture of katelyn with her grandma and grandpa, but i couldn't find it anywhere, so this will have to do.



it was nice to have some family here when we blessed tanner. the blessing was wonderful.



tyler's mom made this gorgeous quilt for tanner! we love it and wanted to show it off. it fits perfectly in his room. she also made his bumpers and crib skirt. what a talented mother-in-law.

Such cute pictures and beautiful quilt! I think between your parents and in-laws your kids have perfect grandparents!! It's so nice they are able to visit even though you are far away---it makes it seem like you are not so far away.
