A holiday weekend gives me the opportunity to catch up on things around here. On Saturday, we returned from a whirlwind tour of McKinney - Norman - McKinney (with Daddy flying and driving back and forth from San Antonio).
On the positive side, the boys got to spend time with all their grandparents, their uncles, their second cousins, and many other "aunts" and "uncles" in Dallas. On the down side, this was because Great Grandma Kaldahl passed away last Sunday. Fortunately, Autumn and Jeff were able to spend time with Grandma the week before she passed, and she was able to see the boys several times over the previous six months.
Four Generations of Kaldahls!!
The trip to Norman was an exciting one for the boys. Besides seeing Granddaddy Greg and Gigi, the boys had their first trip to the zoo. They didn't really notice the animals too much but they did enjoy splashing around in the water. It even managed to draw big smiles from the normally stoic Ezra.
The boys also go to run around outside Granddad and Gigi's backyard (a true honor). They avoided the koi pond and instead, enjoyed bottomless plates of watermelon, cuties (procurred especially by Grandaddy Greg), and picking up sticks!
While the drive home to San Antonio was one of the toughest yet, everyone is happy to be home. Baby Girl's nursery is painted, the front room was cleared out (at least for a day), and all of the boys' toys were waiting for them. They have wasted little time getting back into their routine which includes waking up at 7am, milk, playtime, breakfast, playtime outside, nap, lunch, playtime inside, nap, dinner, playtime outside, fruit snack, baths, and bedtime around 8pm. More importantly, daddy is happy to have his whole gang back together again for lots of wrestling, tickling, and the occasional reminder of discipline!!
