Special visitors....


Holy crap... JUST getting this posted in time so the date still reads June. Not proud about that, but that's just how things are at the moment. We had some pretty special  visitors last month. That's right, Grandma and Grandpa flew in from the states. Two weeks of constant playmates, helpers, adventures and excursions spoiled us and our two boys.  
Here we are awaiting the big arrival...  we basically woke up, got ready and went to the airport.  That way we could go to the observation deck, watch planes come and go, walk around and let the boys really get into the whole experience.  


Then came the gifts!  These boys are so spoiled by their grandparents.   Toys, bubbles, stuffed animals, puzzles and activities just to name a few of the things they brought with them.  We're still, one month later, enjoying the things the brought. 


Then there was also the triple birthday in there somewhere... . For those of you who don't know Sebastian and i have the same birthday (one year apart) and Sebas is a twin, so it makes for a big day to say the least.  This year we turned 95 years old.  Sounds old right?  Well,  I'm a year younger than them, maybe you can do the math... 


 
Otherwise we were busy with A bicycle tour day, a zoo day...an after noon on a boat, an outdoor historical museum day, some breaks sprinkled in there with little projects at home or shopping together and some relaxing too...



Then there's the tower....
 Sebas got a play tower for the boys back when he worked at the local Home Improvement store.  We didn't have room for it at the time, but it was a great deal so it sat in a garage until now.  Maybe... two years???  Crazy.  Oh, and by play tower, I mean a huge pile of wood, some screws/random hardware, and a picture of what it should look like.  Didn't even include the slide that it would normally have been sold with.  

 
SO, just leave it to two carpenters, the pieced that thing together (keep in mind, NO instructions, what men use those silly things anyway!?) and I gotta say, it looks great.  The boys LOVE it, of course. 

And, somehow fitting to such a project, there were a few hardware pieces that we had to figure out what they could be used for... and left over wood.  (!) 

aaahhh.... we don't need it anyway.  (Sebas says, they're just so good, they didn't need all those extra pieces anyway.)  Looks just like in the picture!


After my parents left, it was back to normal... slowly but surely.  Sebas is figuring out when he starts a new educational program (actually two) that will complement his Integral Master Coach Certification and really take his profession and career opportunities to a new level.

Oh, right, and the baby!  More on baby and pregnancy next time.... I'm getting so big, and uncomfortable - getting to that phase of the pregnancy for sure...  needless to say, baby is growing and we're staying healthy.

Lots of love
The Weddings.
