Grandaddy and Granny Franny come for a visit!

 Grandaddy and Granny Franny came for a week to see the new neighborhood, meet baby Gus and play with Levi and Felix.

 

One of Levi's highlights was fixing bits and bobs around the house with Grandaddy!

Who does't love connect 4?

Billy helped watch the boys while I had Grad school Fri/ Sat/ Sun..so he was BUSY!

They hit up dim sum in Chinatown

Toured John's office

Grandaddy and Levi even did the zoo

 Lots of art and making projects out of paper

Touring Levi's school

Rare photo of everyone

Story time - 3 generations

Baby Gus took to Grandaddy extremely well and nestled right in for snuggles

  

We took the gang to a an exhibit on Jackie Robinson. The highlight for the boys was eating hot dogs!

 

It appeared John enjoyed the exhibit!

Play Dates in Seattle!

We were in town for only 3 days, but the boys and I managed to see some of our favorite friends.

Baby Gus finally met my dear friend Laura. Levi and her son, Calvin (who shares the same bday as Felix), had a play date at the Seattle Children's Museum

Baby Gus and the gorgeous Allison Enell

John Enell and Levi deeply engrossed in the iPad

Farley Enell who I knew as a pre-children puppy!

Gigi, John, and Levi being so well behaved

The newest Enell baby, Amelia, who is absolutely stunning!

Here she is again...LOVE!

Travel Days...

I've concluded there really isn't anything more exciting for a 4 year old than taking a flight. Here are some of my favorite photos from the flight up to Seattle and the way back!

Headed to Seattle

Highlight of all flights includes snack pack and watching a movie

Levi insisted on a picture w/ the whale at Sea-Tac

Travel days are hard work!

Levi, Gus, and I visit Grandaddy and Grandmommy

I had a Guild meeting in Seattle, so I decided to take Levi and Gus with me so they could spend some time with Grandaddy and Grandmommy. The boys loved every minute of it. Now I need to do a trip with Felix!

Gus found his feet

The boys loved going to sleep and waking up at Grandmommy and Grandaddy's house!

 Ready for the flight home!

Baby Gus is 4 months!

Gus Gus is now rolling over, has found his feet, and coos all day long (and a decent part of the night too!). He's generally a very happy baby and notices everyone who walks into a room. He thinks his big brothers are hilarious and, when he laughs, he sounds exactly like Felix. He's a pretty good sleeper, all though his internal clock is stuck on 4:03am lately; we need to work on that! He's still incredibly snuggly and loves to play on his mat. I also think he might be getting teeth, as he always has his fingers in his mouth! 

The Easter Bunny Is Back

Gus was able to enjoy his 1st Easter, and the big boys were thrilled to have the big bunny stop by again. When John and I woke up this morning, the front door was cracked. Levi woke up in the middle of the night and had checked the front step to see if the Easter Bunny had left him a basket (thankfully, we live in a rather safe neighborhood....)

 

Happily enjoying their baskets

Waiting for the egg hunt to start at our friend's annual Easter brunch. Felix was most interested in the balloons that were scattered about.

Gus Gus' 1st Easter!

 

Ready set go...

Eating their loot

The Easter Bunny even performed a magic show

We discovered Levi loves magic! We had a lovely morning and finished off the holiday with dinner at our cousins!

Preparing for the Easter Bunny

We dyed eggs the other afternoon. Levi was really into it; Felix, on the other hand, had more fun cracking the shells and shoveling them all into the same container.
