Oma & Opa

My parents came down to visit about 2 weeks ago for a few days. It was great to see them and share some time together.

Aren't they a cute couple??

It seems that we spent most of the time working on projects around our house (although we did squeeze in a trip to the zoo and an evening out in St. Elmo getting ice cream and seeing the shops in our tiny "downtown" area). Both my parents have such servant's hearts, they don't seem to mind helping us out with our many projects at all. Mom helped us pick out fabric for a baby quilt. I really wanted it to match the one that she made for Gus because it turned out so great!! But it was complicated finding new materials that would go well with the old. But FINALLY, I think we've got it figured out. Thanks for your patience, Mom!!

Gus' quilt.

Dad spent several hours planting and transplanting shrubs for me. It's a terrible time of year to do that, but I'm really on the warpath to get things accomplished around here!! Hope you weren't too sore, Dad!!

Best of all, Oma and Opa kept Gus for one night so that Scott and I could have our first overnight alone in 2 years!! Gus apparently had a blast and didn't miss us at all:)

Off for some adventures with the grandparents.

We stayed at a bed and breakfast which is actually a steamboat docked downtown near Coolidge Park.

The great "Chattanooga" view from our deck.

So, thanks so much, Oma and Opa, for coming to stay and for giving us a chance to relax some too!! Can't wait til your next visit:)

"What? You're actually leaving and won't be here to chase me around all day anymore??"
