Greg and I are blessed to both have our parents alive and healthy. And both are still married (in fact, none of our grandparents are/were divorced). What a lineage for us and Eli! And our parents love us and we enjoy being around them. Pretty great, eh? After Maelee died, our parents spent a good bit of time together as grieving grandparents. So one of our greatest joys with Eli was for each of them to get to be celebrating together with us.
To our parents: Thanks for coming, loving on us, being willing to help out where needed, making wonderful food, cleaning our house, letting us use your kindles, doing laundry almost constantly, changing Eli (and getting peed on), driving me around, buying groceries and toilet paper and diapers and who knows what else... we cannot say thank you enough!
We took a short trip to a plantation house 45 minutes from us because our parents like history... and because we figured we should do something besides sit in our living room and watch Eli.
They match! My parents with their first and favorite grandson.
Eli's Grammy and Grandma. We went out to eat at Mr. Bunky's after our outing to the plantation. This photo was taken there but doesn't represent Mr. Bunky's hardware store/restaurant/meat market at all. Seriously. It was such an experience I'm saving it for it's own post.
What a GREAT photo of our little man with his beloved Grandma and Grandpa Kasowski. Joy! Real quick Kasowski story: yesterday Greg blessed our food with the Kasowski prayer and right when we ended with the "rah, rah" Eli grunted. It was awesome.
This post is mainly about the grands... but we must give a shout out to Auntie Amy! She came and loved on Eli and we all know he adores her. She (and Andrew) gave him sweet gifts including great Twins and Bears gear (including a Bears Mr. Potato Head!), a bag full of puppets (which have already been used by Greg), and the meatballs movie! Amy also made us all watch Tangled together smooshed in our living room... and we all liked it!
Eli wants to say: "Thanks again to my grandparents! I love you!"
Eli is one seriously blessed boy for having two family lines that are so loving and downright awesome!-Heather
