Lots of visitors!

This past week and a half we have had lots of visitors! First Grams and Nanny (Aunt Janet) came to visit. It was so fun to have them here. Emmy called Janet 'Aunt Manny', and loved her as much as the real Manny! She had so much fun playing, swimming, and going to Build-A-Bear with Nanny and Great Gramma. It was such a fun visit! At Build-A-Bear, Emmy had a hard time deciding which stuffed animal to pick out. Emmy finally picked out a panda bear to call her own. She was completely enthralled with picking out an animal and getting stroller, but wanted nothing to do with picking out clothes for the bear. We did get a stroller for her bear, and as you can see below, she and Ty had quite the time running around the mall with their bears and strollers!

Here are the kids with their new best friends, so happy, but struggling to hold still :)


Here is the thank you hug for Aunt 'Manny'.


Everyone watch their ankles! Here comes the tiny strollers.


At the end of the week, Dan's parents flew in for a quick visit. Emmy has affectionately nicknames Dan's dad 'Peepaw' -- and she was so excited to see Peepaw and Grandma. Despite how far away they live, she is always thinking of her Peepaw, and everytime the phone rings she thinks it is Peepaw calling her. :) It was so great to see them.

Oh how cute! Emmy got her own stroller - I want to take Lilly to Build-A-Bear! Of course, maybe I should hold off as long as possible... Looks like you've been having fun with all your visitors! Call me soon!

Family visits are the best. We sure wish Alabama was closer so Mark parents could fly out more often! Cute video too!
