Cookie and Papa at Our House - Oh Yeah!

We had a wonderful time with Cookie and Papa this past week! We are so glad that they came to play, visit, and work with us!



Waiting for their arrival . . .

Here they come!!!



A little shy, only for the first 5 minutes, of course!

Reading with Cookie right away!

Working right away! Thanks, Papa, for all of your help in the yard and shed this week! Our backyard looks awesome, and our fence made of wood racks is so cool!

cutting and splitting wood!

Ellery watching the WILD baseball game!



Kiran and Papa had a fun phrase they repeated many times during the trip when something fun was happening or about to happen. Now, Kiran says it all the time to share his excitement about something - "OH YEAH!" I think we can definitely say, "OH YEAH" about this baseball fun!


Working with some great educational toys that Cookie brought to share!


A fun walk by the river on Sunday afternoon!

Throwing sticks in the water!





Enjoying the full moon! Cookie and Papa have a fun tradition with our family. They always call if there is a bright, beautiful moon out. They blow a kiss to the moon from TX, and we blow one back from TN. It is really sweet and a fun way to stay connected as we live so far apart. While they were here, we had amazing weather every day, and the full moon was out at night! It was really cool to finally enjoy that bright beautiful moon (actually the "m-moon" as Ellery likes to call it) together in the same space!




We took many more pictures during the rest of the week but used Cookie's camera. I forgot to put her photos on my computer before they left, so we'll have more pics to share another day!

Thanks again, Cookie and Papa for an incredible time together! We love you!
