What a week

We had a wonderful week with my parents!  What originally was planned to be a three-week stay in Georgia ended up being a one-week stay.  My Grandpa Lower went home to Jesus while my parents were here, so they immediately left for Chicago to be with family and help plan the funeral.  We made a last minute decision to drive up for the funeral, too.  More on that later...

We were disappointed that their visit was cut short but we so enjoyed the week they were here.  They have promised to return for a couple of weeks soon to make up for the time we lost.  You better believe we'll be holding them to that!

Here are some photos of the fun we had while they were here.

We had a couple of beautiful days while they were here and celebrated National Yogurt Day with some free frozen yogurt..  perfect!

I love this pic.  :)

Justin was really busy at work so wasn't able to get any days off during the week, but we had fun walking on the trail, playing at the park, and eating some good Southern BBQ on Saturday.











Claire and Emma enlisted Grammy and Babu in an intense game of Hi Ho Cherry-o!

Love their matching Valentine outfits from Grammy!

I just love that when my parents are around, the girls go straight to their room in the morning instead of ours. They come downstairs with outfits on and hairdos done.  My dishes magically are done.  The dishwasher magically gets emptied. And I really think the girls get it.  They get how special it is to have them with us.  Family is just awesome like that.  ;)
