We had such a wonderful weekend. It was busy but we were so blessed be near family. Marvin's parents came down for a visit and we had a great time with them.
It has been fun being close to family this past year and it is neat to see Calvin adore both sets of grandparents. I grew up very close to both of my grandparents and it was something I have really struggled with in regards to moving half way around the world. It truly has been a sweet time for Calvin to get to know his extended family. I'm learning to cherish the times we have now because in a few short months we will be relearning how to do this from afar.
He was so excited to have guests this weekend that he didn't rest much. His nights were over early because he was ready to play with grandma and grandpa and even though he was exhausted nap times were shortened. He certainly doesn't want to miss out on anything.
The following are a few pictures of our weekend:
Here's my little helper. Anytime the flour comes out he thinks he needs to help. He helped make some pita bread. It was the first time Grandma and Grandpa had gyros, they thought they were yummy.
We found this Dora book at a garage sale on Thursday and Calvin has carried it around the house ever since. He's quite smitten with Dora too and begs to watch "Dorda". I think we've found a good routine, Dora in the morning after breakfast and getting dressed but he sure tries to watch more throughout the day. Thankfully we also found several other Dora things at garage sales that appease him. He went from not caring at all about TV to wanting to watch it all the time. Yikes.
Grandma got to be a part of Calvin's first swim/splash of the year. He treats his pool as a giant puddle, but I guess it's more puddlish than poolish. Now if I could only figure out how to lure this little boy back inside. Ummm, any suggestions, anything is better than kicking and screaming.
Marvin and Harry went to the state track meet on Saturday while Kathy and I hung out with Calvin all day. We had to get one picture before they headed home. Thanks for coming down to see us. Calvin had so much fun. He's a luck little boy to have so many people who love him.
