Grandparents Visit

For several years my parents have wanted to visit during the fall to see the kids play soccer but it wasn't possible with my mom working. Now that she is retired they headed on out for a wonderful five day visit. The first day they were here was Rosh Hashanah so, with the kids out of school, we decided to head to the Baltimore Zoo.





On Friday Mom and Dad were able to spend some time with Noah in his preschool class which he absolutely loved! For the first half hour of class on Fridays the kids rotate between stations that have various academic activities and the parents (and grandparents!) are always welcome to stay and help out.
Noah enjoyed picking out sight words while reading with Grandpa.

Working on numbers!

And of course on Saturday came the main event - or actually two events, Xander and Savannah's games. Although the weather was pretty damp and cold, we cheered their teams on.

After the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference we celebrated Xander's birthday and he was so glad to have his grandparents there to celebrate his special day.

The kids took advantage of the time they had with Grandma and Grandpa. They had them read LOTS of books...

and even help with homework.

We were all so bummed when it was time for them to leave. We sure do love when family visits!
