This past weekend, Nanna and Papa came into town to meet Baby Lydia. The morning they left Searcy, we still had no power from last week's storms. Thankfully, the Alabama Power Company came through and restored our power before they got here. Despite the emotional heaviness from the aftermath of the storms, we still had a very good visit. The boys enjoyed swimming in Nanna & Papa's pool (at their hotel), spending an afternoon at Overton Park and another afternoon at the Hoover Sports Park (followed by some nearby hiking). Marcus and I enjoyed Papa taking us out to three of our favorite restaurants, playing "If" in the evening after the boys were asleep, watching Nanna enjoy Lydia, and all worshiping together at our church Sunday morning.
Caleb and Ethan really enjoy their Nanna and Papa! Nanna brought her bathing suit this time so she could enjoy the hotel pool with the boys. Each night at bedtime, Nanna sat in the boys room and told them off-the-cuff stories (at Ethan's request) and read books to them. Papa got pretty silly on Saturday night, chasing the boys around in circles in our playroom. He also played soccer with Ethan and pushed him in the swing at the park forever, making him Ethan's new best friend. Caleb is in a very "boy" stage right now, thinking that all men are the epitome of coolness, so he needed no prompting to fall in love with Papa. Ethan also got very attached in this short weekend, enough that he had a 10-minute meltdown at church when he had to say goodbye to Nanna & Papa. Thankfully, we were able to console everyone with the promise of a vacation in the mountains with Nanna & Papa in just six weeks :)
