Grandma and Grandpa Visit

It's so fun to have visitors! Mom and Dad flew up on Thursday night to spend the weekend with us, and we had a great time. It was the perfect mixture of relaxing and enjoying busy activities. We shopped, had lots of coffee, had dinner with the girls, watched movies, ate big dinners, and spent lots of time with Michael, of course. It felt good to watch my parents enjoy him and all his new abilities since they hadn't seen him in two months. Michael now has two front bottom teeth and can crawl! I can barely sit down in a room before he's off to another place.

But the most fun thing we did this weekend was to visit the Children's Discovery Museum in uptown Normal. Sure, there are lots of activities for older kids, but Michael and his friend Miles found plenty to exhaust themselves. It was too cool!

The puppet theater was the perfect place for some family photos.

Now that we know how great that place is, we'll be back often! But for all the happiness they bring, family visits always make me miss my family even more.
