the return of the grandparents

After three full weeks deprived of all grandparental attentions, we are overjoyed to have them home again. It is so much fun to see the relationships develop between each of our children and our parents.

Den is drawn to Isabel (moth to flame, fish to water), rushing over to hold her, waiting impatiently for Louise to hand her over. Isabel smiles up at him and coos while he rubs her feet.




Cael grabs Louise’s hand, dragging her off to whatever adventure the two of them dream up. Any time our family gathers we lose Louise to Babyland.




And my mom has bonded with my son over horse poop. He runs around the pasture pointing to each pile of manure for her to scoop up. She has finally found a child as enthralled with barn chores as she is. She just had to wait through a generation.



So welcome home, Grandparents. Your presence in our lives is much enjoyed and appreciated.
