Grammy and Poppa in SC

Grammy and Poppa just left after spending a week with us. They came for Emma's birthday and to help us get some projects done on the house. While they were here we had some awful weather and a lot of rain along with incredible humidity and heat. Poppa did help get the front and back porches painted as well as the kitchen painted in addition to a bunch of other tasks. Grammy scrubbed the wallpaper paste off of the walls in the kitchen and helped strip the wallpaper in Jonah's room as well as made many meals and treats for us. We did make it to the beach twice and enjoyed the beautiful weather when we had it. We are so thankful for the time we had with them!

Celebrating Emma's birthday at the beach


On the Waterfront

Emma was so excited to show Grammy and Poppa how she can ride her bike. I was excited to have someone else take them for a walk!

Jonah entertained himself by building a tower out of cans from the pantry.

We went to dinner at the Crab House. Emma has been fascinated by this restaurant since Grammy's first visit, so we took her there for some seafood.

Jonah had Poppa read this book dozens of times. Poppa made the best truck noises and Jonah would giggle and try to imitate Poppa.

We were able to use our pass to the Aquarium to take Grammy and Poppa. It wasn't very crowded so Jonah was able to run around and he had the best time! Emma enjoyed watching all of the fish in the huge tank.

Emma worked up enough courage to touch a horseshoe crab.
