Our days were quiet, and always included a yummy, lingering grown-up lunch, but the evenings and weekend were packed with activity. No problem though! They kept up and kept smiling and cheered the boys on through it all. They attended soccer games and cross country races and rode along to keep company while we drove carpools. Grandpa chipped in a HUGE helping hand with Zac's Eagle Scout project, which we were all especially grateful for because that was a monumental task, and Grandma took on a few dinners so we were eating at a normal time, rather than super late as we do sometimes on our busier nights. One night she made us FIVE batches of Grandma Pancakes, another it was sticky buns and scrambled eggs. That is a labor of love!
We were able to share our 17th Annual Conlin Family Fall Feast with them, one of our favorite nights of the year, as well as the super/harvest/blood/total lunar eclipse. It was a lovely time and it felt so good to have them here, showering us with love. The boys always light up extra bright when they are with our extended family; it makes them feel so valued and a part of something bigger than just our little tribe, so these visits are incredibly important to us and so appreciated. Thanks for the visit, Mom and Dad/Grandma and Grandpa! We love you bunches!
