nana! papa!

 wednesday the kids were surprised by their other nana and papa with a visit.  i cant believe i kept it a secret, i almost blabbed it 100 times that day...anyways....nate's reaction was priceless

and the girls!

 ellie had to show off her latest bruise/cut/scab

 joey was very pleased with the visit. she smiled even more than normal

 ellie was happy too

 mom and dad took ellie with them to run errands, so i had 1 on 1 school with nate. we can cover school MUCH faster with out little ellie around. haha.  joey was thrilled to spend time with big brother nate

 more happy joey

 and more smiles
life is just happy for her

 fri was chris's birthday. we had a bbq, and the kids helped with the candles on the cake

 nate carried it to dad and we sang the birthday song

 joey was delighted to see the cake

 see.  simply delighted

 my little crew

mom and dad left today, and i spent the remainder of the day cleaning, more laundry,  more cleaning another bbq, lots of outside play because it was SO nice out!  the birds are chirping, the grass is greening, and the kids are playing.  spring is here!
