Grandpop's Here!

These last 2 weeks have been crammed with seeing family...all of whom do not live in the state of Texas, and we've been loving every minute of it.

My Dad, who is Grandpop to the girls, came in for a quick visit last week while he was in town for business.  Caroline and Ellie were all smiles and in great moods with him.

Caroline and Ellie are in the phase now where strangers, especially men, make them a little nervous at first.  They didn't take any time to warm up to my Dad (nor Blake's Dad the week before, for that matter), so we're thinking that Skype is really helping them recognize people.

These girls had a great time.  They were so geared up that they didn't even begin to slow down for a morning nap until about an hour past the time that I normally put them down.

My parents are moving back to the US in November, so we're looking forward to seeing them so much more.  They will be in Anchorage, Alaska, which for us, is considered just around the corner compared to Perth.  We're all so excited!

Mom/Dad - thanks for making the effort to see us.  It warms my heart to know that Caroline and Ellie are going to get to see their Grandmom and Grandpop so much.  I'm already looking forward to them riding a Moose and petting a Grizzly!  ....okay...maybe we'll just stick with making a snowman in the front yard!
