Nana and Papa's Visit

I usually begin to feel homesick about a week before we receive visitors.  Maybe it is because I know they are coming and it is the anxious waiting, preparing, and memories that drive my (inevitable) homesickness.  My parents came in last Tuesday to cure it all!

This was one of my favorites of their visits; don't get me wrong, I have loved every visit, but this seemed to be the most memorable for Trey.  He is much more interactive than our last trip, so I couldn't wait for him to show off his new skills and language development.  Trey likes to walk around and "call you".  It is not uncommon at 6:30am for me to hear "Moooooooommyyyyyy!" coming from his room.  Nana and Papa were no exception to this!  It, of course, melted their hearts and they became putty in the hands of a very sweet toddler.  My favorite of these "callings" was actually right after they left.  Trey called "Naaaaaanaaaaa" on the way home, and upon arriving in the house, ran to the bathroom door, calling "Paaaaapaaaaa"!  It broke my heart that he missed them so much already, but at the same time it made me happy that he enjoyed the visit so much he wanted more! 

Among many of the things we did together, Trey liked to sit on Papa's lap and watch the "choo-choo", "hopoctor" (helicopter), and "tuck" on the laptop.  He especially enjoyed the lawnmower races and hide and seek with Nana!  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our visit!
