All these pictures are from 12/22/09. Just goes to show you how incredibly busy we are when we make the trek home to Rochester. Although the events are different, we always pack in the fun when we are home visiting! We have so many special people to visit and see.
It snowed the night before and before Grandpa could drop Grandma off at work, he needed to shovel at least part of the driveway. William was NOT going to miss out on this opportunity! So, we bundled him up in his jammies with his boots, mittens, hat and sent him out to help Grandpa.
William isn't the most helpful shoveler - John (who was out with him) reported that both he and Grandpa tried to show him how to correctly shovel. William wasn't having any of it. He shoveled a little here, a little there and then decided his shovel wasn't working correctly.
So he found this one in the garage and went back to work, this time shoveling snow out of the drifts and back onto the driveway.The boys came inside and we got everyone ready...just in time for Amelia to nap. It seems like this is the way things go lately, we hurry, hurry, hurry to get ready for it to be time for Amelia's morning nap. After a nap, we went to visit Grandma Kim at the hospital. She likes to have some fun visitors and we like to meet her friends. We didn't take any pictures there this time.
After the hospital, we went to the store where Grandpa works to say hi. William was excited Grandpa had a guitar (ukelele) just his size! He did NOT want to give this up!
Amelia preferred a fancy guitar. We also played a fun piano, drums and talked with Grandpa's work friends. I was pretty sure we were going to have to pull William out of there kicking and screaming. Or with a new guitar in hand.Then it was lunch time! So, back to Grandma and Grandpa's house. After lunch is a rest/nap time for some of us. A much needed time after going and going and going!
After rest time, it is time to go and visit Grandpa Heidt. Grandpa is always up for one of William's favorite past times - reading!
Amelia's silly face - she cracks me up!
It's crunch time! Mama has craftiness to finish! Here I'm working on Amelia's doll quilt made out of old sheets from when I was little. This quilt is important and special because it is the first time I've ever put the binding on a quilt correctly despite being taught a LOT of different times. Finally!
Amelia show the dolly who is boss! She loves babies, but she is NOT gentle!
She is also a fan of trucks - here Grandpa helps her push the fire truck to Daddy and William on the other side of the room.The rest of the day we ate dinner, got ready for bed, played more with Grandma Kim and Grandpa Kevin and put kids down. And then, we probably played a game until way past our bedtimes. :) Very good times all around. Busy, but very good.
