Grandpa stayed for a week and Grandma stayed for 3 weeks!
It was nice to have the help and for Ryken to be able to spend so much time with his grandparents. He certainly enjoyed the extra attention and people to play with.
Here is a snap shot of what we did while they were here.
Ryken (almost) ready to go out into the snow.
Grandpa really wanted to bring him out while he shoveled, and since it wasn't as cold as it has been, he was able to.
Saying Hi to grandma inside!
He ventured down the stairs and climbed a snow pile!
Grandpa got this nice shot of us far away and our footprints!
Grandpa and Grandma were being silly.
Sitting outside in the snow and cold, drinking his iced coffee!...while Grandma is inside with a scarf on.
Watching the big machinery that was working on the house next door.
Grandma got to change lots of diapers.
And of course, she got lots of snuggles with Sorraya!
Hiding in Grandpa's long legs.
Family picture!!
With the babies!
Ryken would run up and give a big hug to grandpa, and then Grandpa would play a game with him...this went on for a while!
Ryken started off calling Grandpa "Grandma" and then it turned into "Frampa".
"Frampa" left later that night! :(
Checking out Sorraya's ears!
Grandma making play dough with Ryken!!
Taking a break from stirring for a kiss!
Grandma made a mustache. Love the big smiles they both have!
Sharing bubble wrap.
In the middle of singing a song! :)
Lots of books were read together!
On Monday, our last day all together, we had lunch at Sam's!
One last picture with the kids before Grandma left!
Those 3 weeks went fast! It was so nice to have the help and company.
Ryken started asking about Grandma right away. Good thing we have FaceTime!
Looks like a WONDERFUL time and I am sure that Gma and Gpa LOVED EVERY SECOND of it! And I sure do bet you were grateful for the help and the company since a newborn in a Fargo winter doesn't make it outside too much I would guess :) Wish Ember and I could have been there too but hopefully in the summer sometime!
