Sunny Last Days

Their last full day with us was SO sunny and warm!! I LOVE when the weather starts getting so warm... it's amazing what so much more sun can do for my mood! Quinnlyn was able to convince either one or both of her great grandparents to push her on her swing in our backyard and ran around playing bubbles and just having fun. I sat for a long time in the sunshine (okay half shade, because while I LOVE the sun, my skin does not!) reading a book in my recliner lawn chair. Ahh! This is the life!

Sitting by myself can't last for long, and soon enough I was joined by a little monkey! She says to me "mama read the book to me" and did not like my answer when I said she wouldn't like this book. So instead she just climbed all over me, and then settled in and gave me some snuggles for a few minutes before running off again. I love when she comes in for a hug, because she is not, and never has been, an overly huggy or snuggly girl (hmm wonder who she gets that from!?). So I soak in those moments when she gives them to me!! Man I love this little girl.

It was way too nice after dinner to stay home, so we went down to the beach again. Grandpa likes walking along the shore and exploring

Cuties playing in the sand!

She loves filling her bucket, not to make castles, but just to fill it up and carry it around haha

It was such a gorgeous sunset!!

She made herself a pillow and wanted to lay down on it haha! We had to scrub sand out of her hair that night in the bath!

She says " oh wow Dada, what a pretty sunset!" They are two of the same sometimes!

Love this. Two very special men!!

Doing the "crunchy sound"... this was their thing all week at nighttime snack. They are both so goofy, no wonder they were such good friends! haha

A early morning power walk with my love on thursday morning. One of the major perks of having company is that they are home with Q so that we can go out walking together. I liked going out with him in the early morning before the day really started. I hope we keep doing that! (he would love to, its me that puts up the fuss... I hate early mornings! Its hard for me to remember these moments when I'm laying snuggled in my warm bed, all sleepy)

Went back to Kin for their last few hours here

I love that he gets up there and plays with her. I remember loving playing with my Grandpa when I was young, and it makes my heart so happy to see him playing with her.

My Grandma cleaned our bathrooms and washed the sheets that they have used all week before we left! She is the best kind of company to have haha! She also scrubbed my dishwasher and stove top, and cleaned my floors and did most of the cooking while they were here! I was so spoiled this week by her! That's what she does, she takes care of people in practical ways. She is awesome.

How many kids can say that they caught their Great Grandpa on the slide?! She is so blessed. He does these things just to make her giggle and I love that. It was so sad seeing them off!!! Jon drove them to the airport and I headed to work, and after work when I got back into my car, it smelled like my Grandma's perfume and I cried a bit. I just miss them so much sometimes!! And I feel so lucky that they love us so much that coming to visit is a priority. It was such an excellent week with them!
