Just Chillin'

Grandma and Grandpa (Sargent) came to visit us October 29th through November 1st. Eleanor was so excited they were coming that we learned about calendars and how they mark days/dates. She knew exactly which day on the calendar G&G were coming and I would show her each morning which day was Today. Then we would count how many days we still had to wait until they came.

On Friday she woke up to G&G here, sleeping in our basement. She was VERY excited.

Unfortunately, Ella came down with a nasty bug on Saturday. This meant we didn't do much while G&G visited except visiting. We enjoyed the babies, talked amongst ourselves, watched football and baseball, played Munchkin, baked and experimented with venision and antelope recipes. And Ella got a chance to go shopping with Grandma for cowboy boots and a cowboy hat! She also got in a trip to the park - where there happened to be a dog dress up contest going on for Halloween - before coming down with the worst of her sickness.

Even though our activities were fairly low-key, it was a good visit. Thank you Mom and Dad for taking the time to come and see us!
