"i miss grandma and grandpa..."

grandma brought the kids a bunch of boy costumes

lilo loved cuddling with grandpa... jojo was there to torture lilo


lilo ran to get his tools when he saw we were working on the vacuum. then he "helped" grandpa fix it.

grandma and grandpa pearson were here for 5 days. they came for h's baptism. we had such a nice time. it was so nice to have them on our turf. it had been way too long. they were last here when lilo was born- over two years ago.

grandpa was so nice to speak at the baptism and did a beautiful job. he also organized my garage and won jojo's heart by spending a good while with him and his "mr." books. he let lilo help him fix my vacuum. thanks for all of your help, dad. we miss you already!

grandma did the ultimate favor of unloading my dishwasher for me (i HATE unloading) and she loaded it too! she read to the kids, especially h. she put all of the food together for the baptism and helped clean up. she rotated and folded a ginormous load of laundry and she cuddled with h and did night duty when she was sick (h had strep!)

thank you for all your help mom and dad, grandpa and grandma. we love you and want to see you soon.

some of the things the kids have said these past few days...

h said, "why did they have to go home?"

h also said, "i wish grandma and grandpa could come here for 100 years!"

jojo said, "i wish they could come here for infinity years!"

jojo said, "grandma and grandpa both start with gra."

jojo said, "are they coming back soon?"

h said, "how long until we go see grandma and grandpa?"

h speaking to grandma said, "you could just go back and get the dogs and bring them here."
