Update

I have a ton of pictures to share with everyone.... My parents and grandma came to visit last Tuesday and they stayed through Monday - almost a full week of help! The kids had a great time with Grandpa and Grandma - as always - and they had the bonus gift of their Great-Grandma. Will remembers his g-mama and he has always loved her. Lauren really got to know her this visit and they got along great. My grandma would take Lauren for long walks in the morning and then play with her in the playroom. Lauren loved it (and I think my grandma did, too!!). We did some great things together, but most of the pictures are on my parent's camera. Here are some pictures that I do have...

Will has really gotten into a grove of building and playing pretend on his own. He spend one afternoon building Lincoln Logs and playing with his farm animals. I was so impressed with his building skills.
Lauren LOVES play-doh. She plays with it almost every day. Will joins her on most days and they really do well playing together. There are the occasional fights - mostly someone steals a toy and the other one hits (Miss Lauren has a hitting problem these days- we're hoping it gets better when she talks a little more.)
Will has continued to enjoy soccer. He has really learned a lot this season and he has made some great friends.
G-mama with Little Lauren. They became great buddies.
Lauren and her "ga-ga." She calls my mom and my dad "ga-ga" - she's starting to talk a lot more and it's nice to have her communicating.

On Saturday night I thought it would be fun to roast s'mores. We love to roast s'mores around here and it's usually a neighborhood event. We roasted in our backyard this time and enjoyed a little family time. Will roasting his marshmallow with Grandpa. Boy, does that kid ever love s'mores.Grandpa, Joe, and G-mama roasting their marshmallows.

The four generations of "Frost-Osmundson-Niedermuller-Stone" women.

After church on Sunday, Connie and Tina came over to spend some time with my parents and grandma. Papa John and Diddy couldn't make it, but we did make it over to their home on Saturday to spend some time with them. On Sunday we celebrated Mom's birthday with a cake. The kids enjoyed spending this special time with their grandma.

On Monday it was time to say goodbye. I think Mollie was very depressed about losing her gmama. The kids were sad to see their entertainment go, but we all we'll see them again soon. We'll see my parents and the Niedermuller family at Thanksgiving (Disney, here we come!) and I'm sure we'll see my grandma sometime soon!
