Visitors!

Last Sunday we had a couple visitors!  Uncle Bob and Great Grandpa Clark came to stay with us for Grandpa's sister-in-law's funeral.  Aunt Doe and her family live in Joliet so it worked perfectly for them to stay with us.  After a long day of traveling, they finally arrived around 3pm.  We had a great time chatting and they loved getting to know Jackson and Charley more.

Grandpa had his hands on the kids any time there was a chance.  Bryan stayed home on Monday to go to the funeral but the other days it was so nice to have an extra set of hands.  Monday they were gone all day and came home to eat Harold's Chicken Shack fried chicken.  It was greasy and delicious.  We spent most evenings interviewing Bob and Grandpa about growing up with Dick.  I'd like to make Jackson a book all about his "Sampa" since he won't remember him.
 

 

Tuesday is the day of my moms' group so we went on with that as planned.  We were meeting other people at Little Monkey Bizness and Uncle Bob and Grandpa came with us.  They were put to work babysitting and spent a lot of the time hanging out with sleeping babies in carriers while the baby's mommy was with the other kid.  We were thankful for the extra pairs of eyes! 

After naptime, we took them to the train station so they could head to the city to meet Bryan, Marianne, and Keith for dinner.  JJ loved seeing the big train!

 

 

Wednesday we took Jackson to Monkey Joes to jump in the inflatable jump houses.  He had a blast and worked out a lot of energy.  Then we headed to downtown Naperville to walk around a bit and have lunch.  The visit went by in the blink of an eye and apparently we got no pictures of Uncle Bob.  Shoot!  There was one but it's terribly lit because of the sun so you can't see anything.  Sorry Uncle Bob!  You'll have to come back and visit again so we can get more pictures.

 

Here are a couple more pictures of Grandpa with the kiddos.  We love you Grandpa and we're so glad you could come see us!
