How do we say THANKS?

It's been an amazing two weeks.  2013 was a stressful year for our family as we had a lot going on.  All good things, but still stressful. Throughout the entire year, my parents have been by our side helping in every way they can.  It started Christmas 2012, when we told them we were building a new house.  While that was exciting, it meant we had to put our old house on the market ASAP.  They spent their holiday vacation packing up our old house and getting it ready for the market.  My parents made many, many trips down to watch the girls, move us into our new home, and then make our new home...HOME for us.  They have spent countless hours unpacking, cleaning, sprucing up...everything you can imagine they have done it for us and it's not even their home.  They have also helped us HUGE financially.  My parents have given so much to us throughout the years, and it has been such a blessing.  While we appreciate their generosity as it has helped us with everything we have today, what I can never thank them enough for is the time they spend with my girls.  The best gift my parents could give to me is their endless energy when it comes to Taya and Teagan.   My dad never gets tired reading books to the girls, my mom always says yes when the girls want to make something with her.  No matter how worn out they may be, when they see the girls....they are ready to play with them.  My girls adore their Grammy and Grampy.  So much so when they are around, they could care less about mommy and daddy.  Heck, Taya even wants them to put her to bed.  My parents could travel the world if they wanted to, but instead they decide to travel to see their grandchildren.  It warms my heart to know what a good relationship my girls have with their Grammy and Grampy.  After spending two weeks with us, you know they just want to get on the road and drive home.  Instead, the girls wanted to go fishing one last time.  So of course, off they went with Grammy and Grampy.

 Taya wanted Grampy's fishing pole.

 Teagan is obsessed with feeding the ducks.

 Grampy giving her some pointers.

 Teagan LOVES her Grammy.

Taya has been wanting to cast the line herself.  Grampy showed her a few times how to do it...check it out!

Now, Teagan wants to learn.

My next little fisherman.

We had two awesome weeks with Grammy and Grampy...so many memories that will last a lifetime.  There are no words to thank the two of you enough.  Your time, energy, patience, generosity...everything you give and do for us are all appreciated...but what we really LOVE is the TIME you invest.

Can't wait for the next adventure!
