NaNa and PaPa's

It had been WAY too long since Todd and I went to Springfield to visit NaNa and PaPa (I think almost a year!!)  Eli on the other hand has been a TON and we were starting to get a little jealous so we decided to pack our bags and join him.   Man, have we missing out on all the fun! Here are some things we've missed...  

 1) NaNa's kisses

2) Reading with Aunt Kara

3) Laughing at cool YOUTUBE videos.   (If you want to join in on the fun go here, it's pretty awesome.)

4) Enjoying fruits of creative labor.   NaNa found a HUGE box that was being thrown out at a hardware store and asked if she could have it.   After a strange look, they gave it to her and it is now the coolest play house EVER.  With the help of Aunt Kara, Aunt Jody and Aunt Linny they painted bricks, made windows and doors, painted the inside, made a roof, house #'s, lights and a door handle.  I think this house has many future memories!

5) Playing with different toys and reaching "new heights".   It's always fun to see them interact with different toys and different people to see what new things they come up with.   Eli was so patient and careful when building this, which are 2 characteristics that aren't his usual style ; ) 

 6) Playing with our cousin Jameson.  At only 9 1/2 months apart these boys are causing more and more trouble (meaning FUN!) each time they are together.  They adore each other!   With much joy we can happily say that Jameson is "officially" part of the family.   The adoption went through on Thursday!!!  


7) Last but certainly not least they just make us LAUGH!
