Nana visits!

We were so lucky to have Jake's mom/Kai's Nana, Wendy, to visit for a week. They are just on the way back to the airport now. Jake's Great Grandma Parry had her 90th birthday party this weekend and his sister Kama made it out for the party also.

We had a really low key beginning to the week. We showed Wendy some of the places that we go around our neighborhood a lot. We did some gardening and Wendy gifted us with a new bush for the yard. We spent time on the patio and Kai got some serious play time with his Nana. It was really fantastic to have time to spend with her without a lot of other stuff going on.

Then on Thursday evening, Papa John came into town and Kama and her family arrived. Friday things got busy. The men were of to EAA and I went out to Jake's grandparents' farm to help with party preparations. Saturday we were all up early and off to help get the party set up, then the party, then clean up and then I brought Kai home for early bedtime while Jake spent some time with his family that evening. Yesterday, Sunday, was the La Leche League fundraiser for World Breastfeeding Week and then we went beack out to the farm for a cookout and to spend time together as a family. It was a really busy three days, but so awesome to be able to see everyone and to celebrate a special lady.

We did not take many pictures in the beginning of the week. Too busy having fun, I guess, there are plenty of pictures from the party and yesterday though, enjoy!
