Grandfathers Weekend
Update: check out a sneak peek of our annual fall family photos! My little family and I had a stupendous weekend! Yes stupendous! First things first, my gastrointestinal symptoms are finally beginning to taper off thanks to my new amazing doctor (yes I’ve changed my primary care doctor 3x in year but guess what it was worth it) I’m at about a strong 76% as far as the nausea, vomiting, and weakness goes. I held a whole conversation without gagging once. Secondly, Peyton and Dillon got to spend time with both of their grandfathers Saturday and Sunday. You all know how much I miss my granny, but I never even got to meet my grandfathers, so I try my best to make sure they have a great relationship with their grandparents. Saturday, we hung out at Mueller lake park where we played on the playground and fed the ducks thanks to a sweet family who had extra crackers to give. It was Peyton’s first time feeding and Dillon just wanted to lounge and watch the ducks fly. My dad instructed her on how to do it so she wouldn’t be afraid, it was the cutest thing to watch. Sunday morning I went to take my dad some good old homemade chili and cornbread I made (shout out to coopcancook.com for the awesome recipe) before he headed to church, once we got there we decided to have breakfast at our favorite spot kerbey lane cafe in mueller! My dad gave both of the babies their first taste of coffee... it reminded me of when granny and I would sip coffee and eat tea cakes while watching the stories when I was 4 or 5 years old. Dillon hated it but Peyton wanted more, so of course grandpa obliged. We went across the street from to a newer park in the Mueller development and met a friend who called himself Hulk. We played, ran up the hill, read a story book, relaxed in the hammocks and then decided let’s take a walk to the farmers market! It was dad’s first time so he was floored with all the activities and free samples. Peyton actually took her first pony ride and was so excited! We couldn’t believe it! She’s normally afraid of animals but she loves the pony named Doddlebug! After the pony ride we met up with Damon and his dad at Hoover’s for lunch! (First Sunday in a while where I didn’t cook anything thanks so much grandpas) the Littles needed their naps so they were overly active but it was so great that got to see Grandpa John again! After lunch we headed home and they all took a nap on the couch after watching Toy Story 2. I of course couldn’t slept so I read, caught up on my shows and took the cutest pictures of them napping. This by far has been one of the most beautiful weekends of 2019. Fills my heart to know that my littles and our family has so much love to give and receive. How was your weekend? Do you have a relationship with your grandparents?
