"See you soon!"

This afternoon as Nolan was saying goodbye to my mom when we dropped her off at the airport, he called out to her as she shut the car door..."See you soon!" It was so adorable and I have no idea where he learned that phrase from, but it was so appropriate...we hate saying goodbye! So, "See you soon!" just felt so much better! Even though we won't see her until late June, except for our weekly Skype dates!

We had a great week together! It flew by! We spent a lot of time doing the things we like to do together: shopping, running errands, cooking, baking, sewing, watching our favorite shows, and playing with the boys! We even got to have a snowy night out to go see Mary Poppins! And Grandma sure did come in handy with potty training this week- we spent A LOT of time in the bathroom! Nolan is making good progress- pretty much going every time we put him on the potty. He's wearing Pull Ups now and they even stay dry sometimes! Now for him to just get better at telling us when he has to go!

It seems like the boys are growing up so fast! And we love having my mom visit to take part in our day to day life! If only they would move here!
Here are some pictures from our week together...

At the beginning of the week we had wonderful weather and enjoyed some time outside!

Here is our 4 month old! Wow! Time flys!
He had his 4 month well check this week, here are his stats:
Height: 26 1/8 inches (90%)
Weight: 14 lbs. 2.6 oz (45%)
Head Circumference: 41.5 cm. (30%)

Heath cooing and talking with Grandma!

Baking Easter cookies!

After driving between 5-20 mph all the way downtown, we made it through the snow to see Mary Poppins! It was a great show! We enjoyed the music and seeing Mary fly right above our heads. The slushy drive home, however, was not so fun!

Nolan pigging out on his favorite "Cars Noodles" a.k.a. Cars Spaghetti O's with meatballs!

A cute smile from our little guy!

Nolan loved wearing Grandma's reading glasses! Too bad the next day he brought them to me and said, "Grandma's glasses broken"!

We did a little painting!

My mom worked hard to make Heath his very own Easter basket this week.

Everyone in our family has an Easter basket that looks like this, only in different colors. My mom made them for us for our first Easters and has made them for the boys too!

Grandma keeping Nolan entertained while on the potty!

Just another one of Heath's famous faces! His eyebrows are so expressive!

Nolan LOVES his Daddy! And he LOVES piggy back rides!

Daddy is already full swing into his Denver Christian baseball season, but Nolan is gearing up for the Rockies opening day! Here he is sporting his Rockies cap and typical "CHEESE"y smile!

Thanks Mom for all of your help and for loving the boys so much!!! We wish we could have you here more often! Missing you already..."See you soon!"

Great pictures Abs! They all made me smile. I'm glad you had such a great visit with your Momma. I know exactly how you feel. Sharing the kids with parents is just the best. Can't wait to see you on Easter!
