Another Visit from Grandpa and Grandma

My parents visit us often, but the last time they were here was at the end of March which meant we hadn't seen them for 2 1/2 months!  That's the longest we've ever gone without seeing them since Kai was born, but thanks to Skype he hadn't forgotten who they were.  As soon as they arrived he latched onto them, and Bryon and I were pretty much ignored for the rest of the week!  We had a lot of fun with "Nana" and "Papa" and also got lots of projects done around the house which is always a good feeling.  Kai was very sad when they left and stood at the window saying, "Papa, car, all gone", before throwing himself on the floor and crying.  Thankfully they're coming back in just one month!

"Papa" was Kai's favourite person all week long.  Kai was always wanting "up" and to be held and cuddled by Papa, which is a very rare wish for Kai.

A new "engine" from Grandpa and Grandma.


Bringing me flowers after a walk with Grandma.


So many cars...what more could he ask for?!

Fun times at the park with Grandma while Grandpa and mommy worked on the shed.

Grandma's big helper in the kitchen, making pita bread for our lunch.


My parents' friends, Theo and Hilde, came to visit and Kai fell in love yet again.  He was snuggling, feeding them snacks and overall acting plain old charming :)


Humpty Dumpty

A new favourite activity - looking at pictures on the camera.  You can hardly take his picture anymore before he runs around to look at it :)





Getting our Community Garden bed all ready to plant.


Hopefully we have lots of yummy snow peas and sugar snap peas by the end of summer.




Our first project of the week was building a mini picnic table for Kai.  Now I just need to work on being decisive and pick a paint colour.

The Shed....coming along!


It should be finished in July when my parents return for another visit.  We have the flooring ordered and trim to put up, then it'll be ready for company.
