The rest of the WI time

We got to spend pretty much the rest of our time at my parent's house. I got a good chunk of wedding planning and decision making done, lunch with an old friend, visits with Auntie Paula (who has been gone South, ironically, the last few times I've been North!), and the boys got MORE POOL TIME, among other things. It was sooooo great to spend real time with my family. I think the last time that I got to spend so much consecutive time with them was back in 1993 when I came home for my last full summer after my freshman year of college! It's been way overdue!

Jansen had to help his "PuPop" with everything, but in particular setting up and testing the new grill!

He also had to scoter around a little while Oscar was nearby.

There were a couple moments of chilling out, but generally these were few and far between when he can hear the other boys whooping it up in the pool, his adrenaline pumps too and he goes, goes, goes, until either he passes out from exhaustion or the big boys get out of the pool!

G-Pop had to go back to work and I had to take Noah back to his family (it was my sister and brother-in-law's anniversary) so I drove down to their house and babysat while they went out for dinner, BUT not before G-Pop got in a few extra snuggles!

Here he and Jansen are monkey-see, monkey-do. Can you tell which is which?

The second G-Pop shadow got his snuggles too!!

... and let's not forget that Noodle was also there to snuggle!

All the men! Mom and I were way out numbered the whole weekend!

Jansen passed out for a nap the day we left. He crashed right on the couch and when I looked over at them they were all making L's with their legs, even the dog!

Oscar got her squeezes in with the boys before we loaded the car up too. It was so great to see the boys relaxed and having such a good time while we were there. They are so loved and as you can see love in return!
