Andy's father's side of the family has an annual picnic in Sun Prairie. This past Saturday, it was at this picnic that our two oldest children were returned to us.
They had been with Andy's parents in Green Bay for the week prior and seemed very happy to see their Mom and Dad again. We had lots of nice big hugs from them and they played very nicely with their sister.
Each family brings their version of chicken and side dishes. This year, we brought our cheesy broccoli casserole.
Dennis and Don Nichols (his brother-in-law)
Darlene and Andy
Okay, I'm ready to eat. Where's my food?
HUGS!
And maybe a smooch.
Playing together.
See that teeny tiny speck? Rowan wants you to know that it's a bug and it has to be removed.
It's sweet to see them playing so nicely together.
This doesn't happen often at home.
It was a good time.
The kids had been away in Green Bay for a week. They spent a few days at the cabin - went swimming, 4-wheeling, etc....and they also got to experience Bay Beach again.
They were with Grandma and Grandpa for about 7 days. Since Rowan has been back home, she has told me that 7 days is too many days. And she really missed us.
It was nice for us to have the kids with the Weisensels. We were able to catch up on some cleaning and other projects, one of which was pulling up the carpet and padding in the living room and dining room.
The floors aren't pretty, but they will be just fine for us until Andy refinishes them (late September). The kids love that their cars and zhu zhu pets actually roll places now.
Maybe we can get a in a blog post on the floors soon.
