Papa and Grandma

I'm so happy to be able to show off these special people on our blog.  As our family website's biggest fans,  Papa Emil and Grandma Jan have loved and appreciated every photo, video, and story about their children and grandchildren over the last four years.  I'm glad they get a turn to be on the other side and we're so thankful for the wonderful time we spent together last week!

They arrived at our house Thursday to meet Evelyn and spend some time with her before going with me to pick Sam up at school.  He gave them a little tour, showing them the incubator of chick eggs and their indoor recess spot known as "the play tubes".  Friday we had a nice lunch at Market Street, explored Heritage Farmstead, played in Haggard Park and finished our busy day enjoying some awesome pizza at Urban Crust.

Papa and Grandma made it back out bright and early the next morning to see our Kansas City Royals play ball.  After the game the boys went fishing at the pond while Jan and Evie and I had girl talk at home, and in the evening we had a nice dinner (and lots of Trader Joe's Pub Cheese) at Gram and Pops' house.  Sunday was a relaxing day with more beautiful weather and we were able to chat, play with the kids, and enjoy another meal together.

We hopped on over to the park for a quick pic before they left Sunday evening.  No matter what we were doing - talking on the porch or exploring the city - we enjoyed every minute of our time together. It was hard to see them go, but we so appreciate them making the trip to Texas and we're looking forward to the day when we can take the kiddos to California to see what's known around here as "Papa and Grandma's beach"!

Thank you for visiting, Jan and Emil.  We love you!
