visiting away

we're having a great time at my parent's house for the week, only a few days left before we head home. my little guys are loving all the attention, but lacking on some sleep time... we'll catch up back home. we've visited family in Enfield, which was great, church family in Milford, where the kids foot raced from one side of the sanctuary to the other- so cute having a lot of little ones together.
We spent the night with Patrick and April at their house, and the boys really enjoyed their dog, Cona. April took the day off to spend the day with us, and we had a great trip to Erin and Genes, Cathy's for lunch, Joanne's for a quick visit with little Michael.
We had some amazing dishes at sarah's place that night- I found out that I do like blue cheese, and that Carson doesn't like eggplant. Logan, being Logan, ate everything and loved it. However, when Sarah made a thai dish - a spin off butter chicken with rice... we found out how much Carson wasn't a fan. he sat for 30 minutes while we ate, and ate around 3 bites the entire time. We made a deal that he would go to bed and finish his food when he woke up, which he was really happy about. he woke up and spent the next two and a half hours holding rice in his cheeks, until I finally felt bad enough for him that I just took it away... he still only got half of it down. I told him that that wouldn't happen again- if he is given something he needs to eat it. he looked me in the eyes and said "okay mommy, but could you please never make that again?" so cute.
Logan has been entertaining, asking everyone if they know what he's thinking, and then saying "I'm finkin, go to the beach! with STICKERS." makes no sence at all, but he laughs as if he's said the funniest thing ever!
he's also taken to calling Jon Josh- he prays every night before he goes to sleep, prays for Mommy, Carson, Daddy, Nana, papa, Sewa (sarah) daniel, and JOSH. lol. so funny.
I've been enjoying having my dad around, he fixed various things that were wrong with my car, and even got new tires for it ! he's a great guy to have around.
mom has been spoiling us with turkey dinners, butter tarts and meatballs... its great. I miss home!!

Hey bek, glad you had a great visit! It is great that you can visit more often with the kids and that you aren't all the way out in California. Boston is SO much closer.

That was really too bad that I was working when you came down. Cath called but it was really bad timing. Hope you had a good nigh at Pat and April's sounds like it was a lot of fun. The boys must be having the time of their lives here in Canada.
