Call Day #159, 5/29/16

Quick picture before Grandma and Grandpa left for home this morning. Oliver was cuddly and didn't want them to leave. The kids all loved having Grandma and Grandpa with them for the past several days while Erik and I were in St. Louis house hunting. They're looking forward to time in Nashville on our way to St. Louis.

Eleanor and Grandma made this dress together this week. Eleanor was excited to wear it for the first time today, telling friends and teachers at church that she made it.

Claire wanted to have her picture taken with Grandma too!

A fancy breakfast table. Eleanor did a lot of work getting a "Welcome Home" party ready for us last night, not knowing that we'd be eating dinner at Nanny and Papa's house. So, we enjoyed it this morning and will leave it up for a few days instead. She worked hard to make it festive with personalized cups and plates, "Welcome Home" napkins, flowers, a "Welcome Home Mom + Dad" banner, and artwork displayed by every window. 

After church and lunch at Nanny and Papa's house, someone asked to watch TV. Oliver liked hearing there would only be sports on it on a Sunday afternoon. We watched a little bit of the Indy 500.

There was a fair amount of Wii playing this afternoon. The games were new to Eleanor so they were extra fun!

We all tackled a challenging puzzle together. It is only black and white. Once assembled it can be colored. Oliver has recently taken to big puzzles and can help put them together. He lasted as long as the rest of us doing this one. We spent the whole afternoon and evening at Nanny and Papa's house, heading home at bedtime. It was a fun, relaxing Sunday!

While Grandma and Grandpa were visiting Claire spent a night each in Eleanor's room and Oliver's room. I agreed to one last night of "sleepovers," and they all wanted to be in Oliver's room. It lasted all of 20 minutes before the girls decided on their own to return to their own rooms.
