grandparent goodness

Papa and Nany arrived last Thursday for an extended weekend of family fun. They were greeted by squeals of delight as the little lady and man raced down the apartment hallways to welcome them back to Shaker.  Together we enjoyed many hours in the hotel pool, where the little lady treated us to countless (dramatic) canonballs and little man tested the strength of his tippy toes as he waded into deep waters, diners out at Chick-fil-A and Dewey's Pizza Parlor, croissants al fresco at On The Rise Bakery, a trip to Shaker's farmer's market, and outdoor exploration.  Saturday, the grandparents gave up the comfortable accomodations of the local Hampton Inn to check into "Hotel Larson" so that Jeff and I could slip away for an overnight trip to Pittsburgh for a second interview. 
 
We are so thankful for the blessing of grandparents who so tenderly shower us with love and encouragement whether near or far.  It brings Jeff and I tremendous joy to watch our children light up in the presence of their grandparents.

The little lady was quick to take advantage of Papa's strong arms and shoulders during his four day stay.

 
Sweet moments (and treats) to savor.
 
 
Waiting to purchase our first pumpkins of the season.  The little lady carefully eyed each miniature pumpkin before selecting one for her and Pablo.  While the little man picked up and dropped several before tossing his final selection into our bag.
