Brandon's parents, AKA Nana and Papa came to visit from Spokane from Thurs-Mon. Bennett absolutely adored them and loved spending every second with them! Wayne and Brandon were busy almost the entire weekend putting in a back splash in our kitchen. That has been on our to-do list for the past 4.5 years that we've lived in our house, so I'm really really excited that it finally got finished! Although Brandon has a little left to do... caulk along the bottom and seal, so hopefully it is 100% finished (and cleaned up) by this weekend! THANK YOU SO MUCH WAYNE!! We love it! Here are a couple of pictures of the process...
Wayne with the saw...
Brandon cutting out outlet holes (who knew having 10 outlets in your kitchen could be such a pain!)
Brandon installing the LAST piece of tile!
Wayne with "the piece"...a shape you could only find while playing tetras!
The "almost" finished product! Love how our mosaics turned out!!
On Friday, while the boys were busy working, Bennett, Nana and I went to the new City Garden downtown with a couple of Bennett's friends. It was a toasty day, and the girls loved playing in all of the water features and then we all enjoyed a picnic lunch!
Other than that, we just enjoyed hanging out, doing a little shopping, playing outside and playing at the park. But mostly Bennett and Nana did a lot of reading!! Bennett also absolutely loved her jewelry box and new treasures inside. Most mornings she would wake up and want to put them on right away! Here are a few more pictures from Nana and Papa's visit. Thanks for coming!!
Bennett, Nana and Papa walked to Schnucks for some treats.
Bennett and Papa reading Bear at Work, a library book we had about a bear who was a mailman. Bennett couldn't wait to show Papa!

I really like the tile and mosaics in the middle. Good work guys!
