Grandparents Rule!

The kids have had some wonderful visits with their grandparents recently. Over Labor Day weekend, we spent some time in Rockford with G&G Reder. The kids baked cookies with Grandma, fed ducks along the Rock River with Grandpa, and swam in the pool with anyone that was willing! They had tons of fun, as always.
We also had a great birthday visit with G&G Brown. It was Grammy's birthday, and Cassidy loved the new fairy house that Grammy opened at her celebration! It will find a special home in her backyard garden. Cassidy also helped Grandpa in the kitchen as he prepared our brunch feast. She loves to join in when anyone is cooking or baking. The weather was pleasant and we spent a lot of time outside. The kids played with outdoor toys and smelled the flowers they discovered throughout the yard. And of course they had fun with their dog-cousin, Cooper!
This past weekend, Erik and I attended a wedding out of town, so Grandma and Grandpa Reder graciously drove in to stay with the kids for the night while we were away. Despite the weather getting a bit cooler, they journeyed out to the park and kept the kids busy! We came home to smiling faces. We are so lucky to have 4 wonderful grandparents who help us out with the kids in their free time. Cassidy and Gavin adore them all so much. XOXO, G&Gs!!!
