Grammy & Poppy Come To Town!

Each and every one of us is so very grateful to Grammy and Poppy for coming to visit us this past week!  Barely 12 hours after they landed in Tennessee, Nick and I handed over the reigns as we departed for our own trip.  From the sounds of it, Emmy and Hannah didn't waste any time at all making them feel right at home!  Between Hannah's pre-dawn wake-ups and Emmy's insatiable energy level, Grammy and Poppy got the FULL experience!  They braved the park, went for walks, played pretend, blew bubbles, colored, and logged time playing in the backyard.  Poppy helped Emmy practice her potty training and Grammy persevered through Hannah's finicky appetite.  Grammy even became intimately familiar with our thin carpet pad when Emmy insisted on company after a bad dream.  Now that's love!  Nick and I were placing bets that they would meet us at the door, with bags packed, and an earlier flight itinerary when we got home; but instead they were both smiling, in great spirits, and full of funny stories! :) We so appreciate all that they did to care for our babies, knowing what a tall favor it is to ask!  They did a wonderful job managing the chaos, and provided our girls with some fantastic memories in the process. :)  THANK YOU a million trillion times over, Grammy and Poppy!


Nick and I were able to get in on the fun during the back end of their trip with excursions to Honeysuckle Hill Farms and the park!
