Grandma and Grandpa T. visit Michigan!

We've been looking forward to Grandma and Grandpa's visit for a couple months and now the time is finally here. The last time my mom was here was when Leah was born almost 2 1/2 years ago so it's been a while since she's seen our whole family and has spent much time with the girls. We've had a fun couple of days dancing and playing the violin...
Reading books,

Reading books again,

And visiting with my aunt and uncle who also live here in Michigan.

We also have been to the Henry Ford Museum (see below), driven around town to show them the UM campus and hospital and Jared's work, ordered in yummy food for dinner, gone shopping, made cookies, watched movies, and stayed up late talking. Grandma and Grandpa are now taking a road trip to Niagara Falls, Palmyra, Syracuse, and Kirtland, and then will be back with us for a few more days before flying home. We love having family here!

Christina I linked over from Tara's blog. I love the picture of your Mom playing the violin encircled by your family. So priceless.

Don't you LOVE having mom around your kids? I love it that she reads to them and plays with them so much, it's so fun to watch. I hope you get a lot more time with her next week!

Wow, Margaret looks great and makes a wonderful grandma! I've never really seen her in that light before! She sure is a wonderful woman! Love to see Aunt Freida & Uncle Jim also!

Yeah! What a fun time. I absolutely love the pictures from the Ford Museum. It looks like so much fun! I want to go there when I come visit you someday. I love the hot dog picture! Maggie would love that.
