Welcome Back and Goodbye



My parents returned home yesterday after being in Florida since the beginning of January. We missed them a lot and are really glad that they are back! The kids were excited to see them, and after opening a present that they brought back, we went to Russ' for supper. What better way to say "Welcome back to Grand Rapids" than supper at Russ'!?

While they were gone, we got some extra babysitting help from Grandma K., which we very much appreciated. We also needed someone to babysit the kids on Wednesdays when we both work. We were very blessed that our good friend Erin's sister, Maria, was available for a few months and could come to our house every Wednesday to babysit. Maria is fun, bubbly, fun, creative, fun, organized, and did I mention fun? Esther and Peter loved having her babysit, and as excited as Esther is to have Grandpa and Grandma W. back, she was also a little sad that today was the last Maria Day. We will miss her!
