Grandparents are Great!

Two nights before we left Michigan, we were able to get together for dinner with both sets of Davey and Charlie's grandparents for dinner. It was so nice to have all of our parents together with some time to chat and let the boys enjoy being with them. We met at Max & Erma's in Birmingham. It's a great place for kids because they have an ice cream bar you can bribe them with to eat all their dinner! :)

Davey was so excited about the BLUE whipped topping they had.

 It was blue-raspberry flavored... kind of strange if you ask me.

Afterward we chatted and enjoyed the beautiful evening and Davey enjoyed throwing coins in a fountain, always a favorite pass-time for him.

The boys with their grandparents!

Each of our parents were very helpful with the boys and spent some nice quality time with each of the boys. Grandma Adams was especially helpful with Charlie and Grandpa Adams indulged Davey a lot when Dave and I didn't want to take him outside. Grandpa Paulson was able to spend more time than usual with the boys, cuddling Charlie and playing ball with Davey, since he took some extra time off while we were there and Grandma Paulson thoroughly enjoyed the boys every chance she got and giving me breaks whenever I needed one.

(Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the boys with G & G Adams... :( it seems like I just go in spurts of sometimes remembering to take pictures when we're on vacation...)

Grandpa Paulson with Charlie

Grandma Paulson gave Charlie almost all of his baths while 

we were in MI. It was so nice!

Grandpa Paulson made his famous whole wheat pancakes and 

home made syrup for our whole gang. They were a hit with the 

kids since he catered to them and made blueberry and chocolate

chip pancakes too!

As happy as we are living where we are, there is a big part of me that wishes we lived closer to our families so we could spend more time with them. We always thoroughly enjoy it! We love you Grandmas and Grandpas!!
